When given the topic “what is the main problem with school?” I had some trouble narrowing down what I believe to be the key problem. As I continued to do my research I found that the main problem with school is the amount of stress and pressure children receive from the education system. I wanted […]
Testing stage
Today I presented my prototype handbook to my class. My presentation was informative, fluent, and impactful. I also felt I did a good job answering certain questions that my classmates had about my handbook. One aspect of my presentation I felt could use improvement is my confidence. I felt that when I was presenting I […]
Classwork day 6
In this picture, I am cutting out the different chapters of my book as well as cutting out my table of contents. I think my prototype book is coming along very well. I have broken it down into 3 chapters. Chapter 1 is the problem, chapter 2 is the negative effects of stress from expectations, […]
Classwork day 5
This class period I worked on and edited the different chapters of my book. I noticed after talking with Mrs. Duke that the chapters of my book were not addressing the problem as they should be. I also conducted research about stress levels of students and the negative effects of stress.

These stress levels can come from many different factors. They can come from a big test, quiz, homework assignment, or simply not knowing an answer […]
Today’s class assignment
This picture is some of the research I did in class today based on the questions I came up with. With having done this research it opened my mind to the answer to one very specific question. That question is “if we know that most of the time when we expect life to go our […]
Writing reflection
Throughout the years I feel as if my writing has improved dramatically. In the past, I used to struggle a lot with grammatical errors but also sentence fluidity. My writing used to be very choppy and consisted of either very short or very long sentences. It was very difficult to read and comprehend but I […]
