Social Studies:
Best Work: Brochure on Greece
Why:
I chose this as my best work from this class because I felt that I really worked hard on it and put a lot of effort into doing it. I also thought it had lots of good information (I learned more about Greece while doing it) and it was also visually appealing. I was really proud of myself for not only getting a good grade but, also proving to myself that I am capable of doing really good work.
Science:
Best Work: Green Business Plan
Why:
I chose the green business plan for this class because even though I did not get a 4 I thought that I really investigated the topic well and really developed my plan thouroghly. My favorite part of this piece of work was that I came up with a really good idea and elaborated it to its best.
English:
Best Work: PSA project (public service announcement)
Why:
I chose this as my best work from my english class because its incredible how much I learned when creating/doing this project. Things I never even thought about or even knew about were all the sudden so interesting. I think it really opened up my perspective on things and really inspired me to make a change, and that I am more than capable of doing so. Also I learned to properly write a factual based paper that I'm sure will come in handy when I'm older. This is definitely one of my favorite pieces I've done this year.
Math:
Work: Mathematician Report
Why:
Although I've had some trouble with mathematics this year, surprisingly  finding out the back round of the creators of theories and formulas actually helped me understand more math. I think what really helped me was investigating his work and his thoughts also actually presenting about it sort of forced me to learn even more about the subject.
Sociales:
Work: United States of Colombia Newspaper
Why:
I chose this as my favorite work from this class because I got a very good grade on it and also me and my group put a lot of research and effort in doing it. We learned alot as a group about the United states of Colombia and also how to work efficiently as a group. I thought we did both well, everybody contributed good things and it was very creative.
Spanish:
Work: Dialogue
Why:
I chose the dialogue for my best piece of work in Spanish class because not only did I get a good grade but, I thought my partner had a very creative presentation and a very interesting topic to discuss. I also really liked it because we had to act and this is one of my hobbies even though I may not be the best at it , it was a really fun way to incorporate my school work with my hobbies.
Electives: (P.E.)
Work: Learning to dance
Why:
Due to the fact that we don't have assignments in dance class I wanted to talk about my favorite part of P.E. which is dance. Since I lived in the usa for the past eleven years, a place where we don't really have specific types of dances everything just kind of goes. Moving here and having to dance traditional things like merenge and salsa was a challenge as well as lots of fun. I think its very interseting how cultures can be so different, while I'm learning to dance salsa here, my friends are learning to square dance and moon walk.
