Physics of Me Project Self Reflection
Throughout the project I tried to get a new start and tried to finish my work, but i couldn’t battle procrastination. At some point near ten o’clock i tried to finish and start on my homework. It’s not a healthy system because I don’t get the right enough sleep. When I searched up my topic, I watched some videos and took a look at some powerpoints until i found the information I needed. To be honest I started out by just doing the work to just get it done. But once I started to really read the information I started to get really interested in laughter.
When it comes to me critiquing other people's work I really get into it and start to critique everything with detail. Sometimes I just tell them to change words or even sentences because I know that the person can do way better than what they have showed me. I've been critiquing since sixth grade when I first started High Tech Middle. Ever since the first critique I've ever gotten and given made me think that we were doing it because we could get feedback on how to make our essay/ design better and improved. On my last paper I could of showed improvement but I didn't understand some of the feedback. Another thing about critique is that you need to be specific on what the person needs to improve on or it won't make any sense.
I am actually proud of my final draft. I mean I could have done some things better but it works ok for me. For the diagram I got a little bit creative and instead of drawing a sound wave, I took a colorful piece of paper and made it into a sound wave. To be honest that was my favorite part of the diagram. I think it makes it look 3D and unique from the others. I found it a little challenging when i had to research because I was searching up the big question instead of the smaller ones. So I was asking "how is laughter incorporated with physics" and when I searched it up I didn't getter answers I was looking for. I overcame this obstacle by asking my teacher for help. She made me understand that most of the time I can't search up the main question.
The skill of habit I think I used was evidence because I had to find evidence for my essay. If I didn't have any evidence then how are my readers sure that they are reading the very real truth.
I would give myself a 2.5 because I did the work but I didn't finish it on time and I would sometimes forget that something is due. I have grown because I started to understand that If I didn't turn it in then I would get in the habit of it and it would be very unhealthy for me and my future. I am going to start right after this paper to get it turned in on time and ask for help. Ms. Cate, I'm sorry I didn't get to turn it in yesterday before midnight, I went to a party and got back at 1. I realized that I should have email you before. sorry.
