When I was writing my myth I had a lot of fun. There were some parts that were challenging. I think that the most challenging part was either choosing what the natural phenomenon was or choosing the name. When i was choosing the phenomenon I had to pick the right one. Not one that would be really boring to read but one that would be exciting. So I was thinking about rain. The next part to me would be very hard. Choosing the names. I wanted a name that had water in it, Hydra, and then I just added another part in, Felisa.

The next part was the best. Making the story up. Now, I wanted to have a story that would keep the reader reading. The only thing that I didn’t want in the story was fighting, like sword fighting kind of fighting. I was conferencing with Ms. Murray when I we came across a good idea, for Hydrafelisa to gossip about everything. Then, if she gossiped about everything she could have a boyfriend who she would gossip about. While the pieces were coming into my mind the whole story was coming …show more content…

They ways that I liked the rubric was for guiding me through the process of writing it and what I should have in the myth. I personally thought that the grading rubric was also kind of stressing. It pressured me to do every little thing on it which kind of made me stressed, but overall the rubric helped me out.

Writing the myth was one of my favorite projects this year. Mostly because I could pretty much make up whatever I wanted. Ever since I could write a story that made sense I loved making stories. I think this project really helped me with learning how to write correct dialogue and make better beginnings and endings. If I could do another project like this I would probably have to revise less, and I would have a better ending and beginning. Overall this project made my writing skills a lot better and now I will have better writing pieces soon to

He really knew how to fulfill all those stages. Like everyone goes through a heroic journey everyone has to have a story to tell.

    In today’s society we feel the need to be graded in order to learn. The topic of the grading system has sparked three essays, by three different authors, about the pros and cons of the grading system. First, Jerry Farber, professor at University of California at San Diego, wrote A Young Person’s Guide to the Grading System (333). Next is Steven Vogel, professor at Denison University, who wrote Grades and Money (337). The last two authors in this compilation are Stephen Goode and Timothy W. Maier. They both are journalists for Insight on the News. While each of these authors have their own point of view on the grading system, all three essays talk about how being graded affects learning.

    It is how you make many educational decisions regarding the classroom. My CT stated that she knew how most of the students would do but there were a few that surprised her. Having this digital way of assessment is also convenient for parent reference. The students individual scores are easy to print and also the classroom scores are given to the principal for review.

  • Poseidon's Personification Of The Sea

    882 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to the authors of our text, Apollo’s personification of the sun is illustrated by his blazing chariot that journeys through the sky daily (Harris and Platzner 41). Without knowledge of Apollo or any other godlike figure owning the responsibility for the sun’s strange actions throughout a normal day, a normal Greek citizen could possible go mad trying to explain it himself. So, a benefit that the people of Greece were lucky to have is that Greek myth helped ease the minds of Greek citizens of the unknown by explaining the unknown phenomena that they faced daily. Another personification that Greek myth used to explain the crazy, but natural phenomena of our world is the god Zeus and his rule over the skies. Thunderstorms, to the those who don’t have an explanation for them, would seem magical and frightening as they are loud, booming noises coming from the skies for no apparent reason. The explanation that Greek myth had for such a strange phenomenon is that Greek mythology’s most powerful god, Zeus, was responsible for the thunderstorms as he used them to achieve universal obedience from his subjects. Yet another natural event that Zeus’ has reign over is rain, a byproduct of his storms. Stephens and Platzner contend that the rain of his can be seen as his own semen coming from his phallic weapons that fertilize the earth it falls upon (171). Thinking of rain in that way helped the Greeks understand what rain was and how it worked to help them keep

  • Grading System Reform

    996 Words  | 2 Pages

    Grading System Reform Teachers have always used grades to measure the amount a student has learned. This practice is becoming ineffective. Many students have a wide range of grades, which shows that grades may not show what a student really knows. Therefore, the standard grading system should be replaced. Some reasons why grades should be replaced are bad grades can hinder a child’s performance, grades define who a student is in the classroom, and grades are not an effective way to see if students have learned the material.

    By nature, most students are brought up in an academic environment motivated to get A’s and B’s on their report cards. Those grades sometimes don’t thoroughly report how much a student has learned or gained knowledge in each topic. Some instructors throw in factors totally unrelated to learning, when the main objective of academic institutions is to learn. In order to clearly demonstrate how much a student has learned in the classroom, schools should change their current grading system and teach students how to learn.

  • Classroom Assessments

    As teachers, we have to monitor the progress our students make each day, week, quarter and year. Classroom assessments are one of the most crucial educational tools for teachers. When assessments are properly developed and interpreted, they can help teachers better understand their students learning progress and needs, by providing the resources to collect evidence that indicates what information their students know and what skills they can perform. Assessments help teachers to not only identify and monitor learners’ strengths, weaknesses, learning and progress but also help them to better plan and conduct instruction. For these reasons, ongoing classroom assessment is the glue that binds teaching and learning together and allows educators to monitor their efficacy and student learning.
