Biology project

This quarter I am most proud of my biology project in science. For the project we had to make a mind map showing information about different subjects in biology. We had to explain sexual reproduction and the stages of meiosis, what meiosis is and what chromosomes are. For asexual reproduction, we had to talk about the different types such as budding, binary fission, fragmentation, vegetative reproduction, and spore formation. We also had to talk about the cell cycle, mitosis and steps of mitosis.  We also had to talk about variability and the positive and negative results of mutation. I worked really hard to make sure that I included the right information and enough information to show my understanding. I enjoy working with mind maps so this project was really fun for me to do. I am very proud of the way I showed what I had learned throughout the lessons, how I added more information and how I added more detail than the criteria asked for. I am also very proud that I didn’t procrastinate at all with this project. My teacher actually ended up keeping my project to show to future classes. This was probably the best project I have done this school year.

English Project

At the end of my English class, we did a group project based on a short story we chose.  My group did it on the short story “The Oedipus Complex”  The story was about how a little boy had troubles getting along with his Father. What we had to do was make a quiz, create 45 question, make a 5 page drama scene, create a game and do a small work sheet. My group did really well and got 78/80 on the project. My teacher chose me to be the group leader so I was in charge of most of the project. Being the group leader meant I would get more marks if we did well but lose more if we did poorly. That was stressful but I worked hard to make the project the best it could be. I was in charge of the drama scene and writing a few of the questions. I couldn’t believe that we received 11/10 for the play that I wrote. The play was about two teenage girls having differences with their parents. I was proud of how the play turned out because everyone seemed to understand the plot and I made sure that my group was comfortable with it. Also, I spent a very long time making sure that it matched the theme of the story and that it would be fun to perform. This project was very intimidating, for there was many small details and we had to present it in front of the class. I worked really hard on it and didn’t give up when it felt like too much. I am so proud of what I have accomplished. Here is the play that I wrote.
