Quarter 1 Projects

  1. What was the activity?

The activity was to read a an assigned book called <The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle> and I did a project about the book. My group did a talkshow of  that, I am the person that take the video (Saif, Hamza, and Ruben did the project).

  
2. What was the purpose of the activity?

The purpose of the activity was to understand what's happening in the book. To do this project, I read the book again and again, and I did the Chapter Summaries of this book.

3. What did I learn?

I learned the the historical backgrounds from the book. The book published in 1990 (by AVI; This book won many medals) and honored by many publishing companies and the the voyage that Charlotte had is in 1832. I know that the book doesn’t say the truth of the voyage that Charlotte had, but it is interesting that people still had slave and ladies were not aloud to work during this period, before 180 years ago. It is pretty recently, because from the begging of the voyage to today, that I can imagin that 2 people of my ancestors died. Charlotte’s behavior made me surprised. She didn’t care if the Captain Jaggery Grummage teases her, or tried keel her, and she didn’t care about her family‘s normal social behavior, and she just always believed her self and her best friends.

4. How could I learned differently?

I could learn different things if I did the project . I think the topic is the great. Because is very hard to do a talkshow (first, is the dialogue script, the second thing was the dressing of the people and the third is the using of the camera, I have a camera, but it could only take photos) ... Finally, we finished the project. I think the article on the internet and the truth that happened on the ship (in the book) will be different because,  the publishing company sometimes get not truth such as a rumor.
5. Did the activity relate to your goal this year?

The activity related to my goal this year. This activity gave me some historical backgrounds, and learnt new vocabularies.
