Strategic Learning Phase 2 Reflection

How is it going?
It's going pretty good.

How do you know?
As you can see from the picture above of my stickies, I try to update my stickies pretty often. I also make sure that the layout of my stickies are good and easy to read, so I put the name of the subject at the top of the stickies. I also make sure to write "done" and "no homework" to tell me what I have done and to help me be more organised. Another thing that helps me is that I look back at Google Calendars to remind me what homework I have to put on my stickies.

Strategic Learning Phase 2

1. How Do You Think It's Going?
I think that I'm doing pretty well with phase two.
2. How Do You Know?
I know that I'm doing phase 2 pretty well because as you can see from the above I try to update them pretty often, and when I'm done with that piece of homework I make sure I say I'm "DONE" to remind me.

Reach for the Stars Writing Goal

Goals, we all have them to get better at doing things in life. In RLA class, I had to make a writing goal as you can see from my other blog posts I made goals for reading too. My writing goal this semester/quarter is to not have run on sentences throughout my writing, to help me with this goal I will insert my writing into a Word document. To see the progress of my goal, I will do the same thing as my reading goal, and that is to share my progress with a partner. When I'm almost done with this goal, or throughout the goal I will ask myself "Am I achieving it?" and if I'm not I'll ask myself "What do I need to do differently?" And if I do achieve this goal I will of course celebrate, and maybe even set a new writing goal.

Reach for the Star Reading Goal

Reading for the STARS! Last week, we've been making new reading goals. You may remember reading my old reading goal from my other blog post, and that reading goal was to read for at least 30 minutes a night. Well, my new reading goal I decided to have is to finish a book in a week and a half. To show my progress of this goal I will use my Reading Record to record all the books I have finished and to see if it takes me about a week and a half to finish those books. Throughout the progress of this goal, aside from updating my Reading Record I will also share my progress with a partner/friend. I will also revise my SMART details to make it work, which are kind of the details that you are reading right now. And when I do achieve this goal I will celebrate, because everybody loves doing that after some hard work, and maybe I will even make another goal. This is the goal I have decided to make, so I hope I'll be able to achieve this goal really soon!

December 18, 2013
Today was the day we had to reflect on our progress of our reading goal. I think that I'm doing okay on my reading goal, I've been trying by best to finish books. I've finished one book from the time I've made this goal till now.  I think that I still need to work on this goal and finish more books. Currently I'm in the middle of a partner book, and it's called Mockingbird, and I hope I get to finish this book soon, with my partner. I'll make sure I'll finish more books so I am able to accomplish my goal.

Fastest Hand Reaction Time Experiment

Fastest Hand Reaction Time

Problem/Question

Which hand has the fastest reaction time?

Hypothesis

I think that your dominant hand has the fastest reaction time, which is my right hand because you use your dominant hand for most things so maybe it would be faster than your other hand.

Procedure

Color of cups used 

There are four cups in front of you that are four different colors, one person stands in front of the cups while one person calls out a color, that person in front of the cups will point to the color being called out. The person calling out will call out the 4 colors 10 times in different orders. The right hand will be tested first, and the left hand will be tested after, this will vary throughout the two trials. During each trial, the hand not being tested will be held behind their back. And there must be a total of 4 different color cups.

Data

Trials	Right Hand	Left Hand
Trial 1	||||||||||     00:10:88	||||||||||    00:11:37
Trial 2	||||||||||     00:12:25	||||||||||    00:11:18

                                        Line Graph 

Conclusion
In conclusion, the left hand had a faster reaction time compared to the right hand. My hypothesis was proven wrong, from all the information given above. As you can see from the table above, even though the right hand had a faster reaction time in the first trial, the left hand had the fastest time out of both of the trials. The left hand’s average time was still faster than the average time of the right hand. Once again, in conclusion my left hand had the faster reaction time.
