http://www.cudbyphoto.com/ this picture was taken by one of my favorite photographers simon cudby. i like it because of how close simon is to the rider.

my fanatsy

this was taken by my dad at toas ski valley so sadly there is no link.  i thiml its awesome because of the clarity of it and how good the picture looks even though it was a crappy camera.

my goals

i hope to achieve 2 goals as a sophomore chemist student this year. my greatest goal is to learn to start project and homework the night it's assinged rather than the night before its due. I would also like to be good enough at one of the chapters to where i could teach it to another student.

E- portfolio

Reflection

1.     Why is this exhibit a good choice for placement in your e-portfolio?

a.     The element super hero was the best placement for my e-portfolio because I actually thought the project was cool therefore I worked hard to really understand and use legit facts to construct the characteristics of my element super hero.

2.     What did you find most interesting about this exhibit activity and why?

a.     I thought being able to make up the elements background and super powers was really interesting because we had the freedom to be creative and use whatever we thought was cool.

3.     In what way(s) did you find this exhibit a challenge to complete?

a.     The assignment was challenging to complete because I didn’t start as early as I should of. I was up the night before late finishing my poster. I learned this isn’t what a platinum student would do. I also thought the paper was challenging since we had to make up everything little thing about or super hero.

4.     The main challenge of this exhibit was deciding which facts to about the scientist to use in the timeline.  We only needed simple phrases or facts about how the scientist changed the knowledge about the atom. Another challenge was working with a partner, who saved everything to do at the last moment.

a.     If I was doing this project again I would’ve made my poster nicer looking. The reason I didn’t have an immaculate poster was because I waited until the night before to start. I also would’ve started earlier if I got to do the project again.

5.      What change(s) in attitude or behavior helped you to meet the challenge?

a.      My attitude was positive about the project because I thought it was a cool project. This helped me focus and try hard to not only complete it but do a good job.

6.      What grade would you give yourself for these reflections, from “1” to “4”, where “4” is the best? (Refer to the E-Portfolio Reflection Rubric.)Give specific evidence explaining why you gave yourself that grade.

a.      I would give myself a 3 ½ because I told it like it was. I admitted my project was perfect because I waited so long. I also spent at least 30 minutes working on this to make a good, honest platinum student like reflection.

element

if i, Jack Leslie were an element it would be called mafium. the m stands for motocross, the a stands for awesome, and the f stands for funny. these are 3 characteristics that my element would have because these are characteristics i have.  i think my element would be a metal because i love metal. i use it to race motocross and without metal i couldn't ride.

what I am learning about myself as a student in chemistry?

As a student in chemistry i'm learning how to better manage my time with projects meaning i am not waiting to start the project the night before its due. I'm also learning how to study for larger amounts of material. the last test we took i just tried studying the night before and i didnt achieve the grade i had hoped for. that taught me that to get good grades it takes more than one night to study for at test. I'm also learning how to take better notes by using only the important words.
