E-Portfolio Blog

      
  For my E-Portfolio, I decided that I would choose the Superhero project. Of all the projects and assignments that we did, I thought that this was the best one to choose because it combined all the things in Chemistry that we had learned; even outside the classroom. It combined the elements which we had been learning about, along with creativity of the character, and skills outside the classroom with computers, time managment, and work. I thought the most interesting thing about this project was that we got the chance to make it whatever we wanted. Whatever element we wanted to do, elaborate or very plain, the ball was in our court. It was kind of a new concept to me for this to happen during school because most projects have a very strict guideline and have certain things on them to achieve. This made it more challenging to complete because I knew that even with good ideas came the follow up work and lots of pondering on what to make my poster about. This caused me to actually have quite a bit of frustration with my work because I spent about 2 hours on my poster but appeared that I was a second grader who worked on it for ten minutes. This was probably the most frustrating aspect. So, if I were to do the project all over again, I would deffenitly have done what one of my classmates had done and taken it to a professional and had them blow it up on a poster board. This seemed to be the most effective way to me, and it looked really clean cut and nicely done. She had spent the same ammount of time on this project as me, but mine seemed to a lot less out standing. This was the first change in my work ethic that I seemed to want to fix. Nothing really during the project made me want to change my behavior, but after turning mine in, I realized that for the next project I would like to be a lot more efficent with my time and realize that its okay to get a little bit of help from other people (ex: people at Staples.) If I had to give myself a grade on this blog, I would probably give myself a 3 or a 4. Proabbly a 3.5. I think that all of the topics I talked about I spent time thinking about them, and planning them out and cutting what is not relavent and what is important rather than just throwing a bunch of junk in. I think that I made it very clear what my project looked like, but never described it in the blog so people would exactly know. I think that I gave positive feed back to myself and concrete changes that I plan to make in the future. I don't think I could ever really deserve a perfect 100 because theres always something I can fix about my writing, but I think that this is my best work and the most efficent and good work ethic that I can give.
