What a collage student thinks of i portfolio

           I think that if a collage student only looks at my portfolio, he would think that i am a good student, and that i am very athletic. He would think that because in all my best works, i did them very dedicated, and really learned something new of each and everyone of the assignments. Also if he reads the out of school tab, he would see that i really really like soccer. He would think of me as someone very dedicated and someone that wants to improve every time. If i didn't want to improve, then why would i go almost everyday of my life to soccer practice. And its true, i really like to improve, and i think and hope that i never stop having this thing for improving.
         If he saw the books i read, he would see that i ilk to read, but only books that i find interesting. I hate reading for an assignment, or reading basically because i have to. If I'm going to read, its something that i really like, and something that i find interesting or i want to know more about it. He would also notice that i prefer to read in spanish, but that i also like reading english books. I prefer spanish basically because i can understand better, and that gives me the opportunity to read more complex books, like magnificent books that Gabriel Garcia Marquez writes. They are very interesting, they help me to expand my vocabulary, and they are very fun to read.

What would I change in the school

For me school's form of teaching is very effective, but they have something that if they change, the school would get really better. The schedule is very good, but I think they should give us a little more time between classes. In 5 minutes you can't go to the bathroom, put the books in the locker, take out the other books, and then run to the other class. The 5 minutes would be perfect if all the classes, lockers, and the bathrooms were in the same hall, but we have lockers in 2 different hals, the bathroom is in the other hall, and the classes are all spread around the middle part of the school. A problem that many people (almost all) have, is the time we enter the school. 7:05 is a perfect our to start waking up, not getting to homeroom. That leads us to another thing that I would change, the buses. I am not saying that the buses the  Self are bad, but that the time of the buses are really messed up. My bus is the first one to get to the school, I get to school at 6:40, that gives me 20 minute to be waiting in the cold weather for the teacher to get to homeroom. Personal

working in groups

For me group work works better than individual work. With lots of people maybe not so much but with groups of 2 3 or evan 4, it is a good way to learn. For class work is a very good idea, but projects are defenitly the best. If you dont understand something about the leson in the way it was thought, your group members can put ir from a different point of view.

Also, you can work faster and with more consience. If you split the work and make everyone in the group work the following things would happen. You would learn and understand perfectly your part. Your group members would also understand perfectly their part. You will learn it so good, you will be able to teach your group members your part. And because its a small group, if you dont understand something they can give you a one-on-one help.

I also prefer group work, because you can interact more than in a normal clase, and you dont get board. Working in groups is way more fun than working alone. Alone you never talk and get really really board, but in groups you will be talking, and moving, the time will go by faster, and the job will be better done.

Whats Learning

Learning is not making the students memorize the information. Learning is not just telling the students the answer to the question and just making them study the answer. Learning is to inspire the students to study and to learn it, but by their on way. On the other hand, a teacher has to show the students ways to learn it and teach them, how to use it so they can study in their house. Although it also is needed in the learning world, a teacher that is constantly pushing us to the limit.

I realy like when we learn by using grups, and when we use (it might sound childish) pictures.

Independiente Santa fe

My favorite colombian team, is called independent Santa fe. the color of their shirt is red. They were the first to become champions of the cup ever. its really the best team in the whole country. this year we bought 5 great player to help us win this years championship. i really hope we can win.

Why i need an up-grade.....

I think i should get an up-grade because i was very sum and didn't finish my work. Now i know that i need to do my work on the day that it was asined, because if not i will be to lazy and will end up not doing it. If you see, i was missing 1 or 2 big things, and the rest was little easy things. I thought that they were so short and easy, that i could do them in homeroom or at break. Now i know that i can't. Not because the time, but because i will get distracted and will end up talking to my friend or playing soccer instead of the work.

Audience behavior

My behavior was good. I didn't talk, i didn't chat on the cell phone, i accept that i got distracted once, but only once. Also my behavior was so extremely good, that i inspired other people to pay attention :D, and also i didn't disturb anybody. The whole class behavior was very good. You should be very very proud.

The worst audience behavior is....

Talking. I think it that because it distracts the people that are presenting. Also they might be someone else in the audience that is really interested in the show, and it is disturbed and distracted by the chating. Another good reason, is that the person that is preforming will feel bad. He works very hard and spends a lot of time practicing and preparing for the show, and when he sees that you are not paying attention, he will think that you didn't like and all the time and effort he had put in, were just a wast of time.

Journal

                          Some of the most seen problems in middle school, or at least by looking it in the point of view of a student, are the following. For me the mayor problem is the time. The time is the general most problematic problem of all. The time in between classes for me is to short. You don't have time to go to the locker, go to the bathroom and then to the other class. If you do that you end up with a tardy. Something that has really helped are the bells. They stared ringing the bells to announce when the break ends stared this year.

                        Another mayor problem that happens in middle school are the materials. I now the this is a problem that is not very common, but for me since I am in middle school has been a problem. Not only for me, but also for my mother. She says that I carry to much things in my bag. The only class that I don't need more than 2 things is english. All the other classes need al least 2 books or binders. Everything is supposed to go in the locker, but as I told you before, the time is very little. Also the locker; to be easy to use, has to be organized, it is impossible to have a organized locker with that little time.
