I would rate myself to have done a pretty nice job. I cannot find the rubric with the criteria on it in my folder nor online, but I know it is about grading yourself based on your own criteria. All parts of my bike seem to be in working condition and I think it looks nice. I am not all the way done, though, and therefore cannot completely evaluate my project outcome.
Journal Entry 22:
No questions come to mind about writing the report. I have completed an outline for my English class and I will probably just do a couple paragraphs for each "question" asked in the outline. I know it has to be very thorough and 1,500 to 3,500 words. I have read the "Personal Project Paper Details" handout and have had most of my questions answered by my English teacher, Mr. Cook.
Journal Entry 23:
Reflecting on my project has extended my knowledge on this topic very well. I liked learning how to do things and when reflecting, my level of learning grew. I now understand or have a good idea of what it is like to put a bike together. Reflecting didn't help me learn about it as much as actually doing the project.
Journal Entry 24:
I have developed as a learner going through this project. I have continued to learn that as I learn, which means completing assignments, doing projects, taking tests, etc., there will be frustrations, anger, happiness, joy, and many emotions in general. I have experienced this throughout my whole schooling career, so the more it happens, the more I will be able to come to terms with my emotions and realize that it is a part of learning. I have also developed as a learner by becoming more open to the concept of things being open-ended. I usually expect things to be laid out for me, large and small, and I will do them. When a project is given to me and the directions are "make it up" or "do what you want", I go a little bit crazy because I need some direction. I know that in the IB program, there are many things like this and it is simply preparing me for it and tasks beyond my high school education.
Journal Entry 25:
If it is allowed, I would like to present my project by bringing my bike in. I will have one of my parents bring it to school (or I will ride it!) to show to people what I made. If, for some reason, that is not possible, I can always bring in pictures and my journals to explain what I have done. I could also show pictures of me putting it together and the bike taken apart. There are other creative ways I could showcase my project as well.
Here is a picture of the bike I ended up buying for $65. It is salmon colored and was once a hip bike. (BEFORE VERSION)
