Climate Change Project
1. What is climate change and how is it different from global warming?
First of all, climate change is in a certain area while global warming is the whole planet. Global warming is also specific to the planet getting hotter. The definition is of climate change is the temperature and weather patterns in a certain area over a specific amount of time. Global warming is the temperature rise over a long time. Climate change effects global warming but they are mot the same thing.
2. Why should we care about climate change, now, when it's been happening naturally since the Earth began?
Yes, the earth is always in a state of flux, but we should be worried now because it is affecting and threatening our lives. It is also harder for animals and plants to adapt to the changes now. This is because we have execrated the rate due to the pollution that we put out into the atmosphere. By releasing CO2 into the atmosphere whether you are driving a car or shopping from a company that mass produces, you are still helping to speed up the process.
3. How does your project demonstrate your understanding of global warming?
My project was on how the clothing industry affects global warming. What my partners and I worked on was making people more aware about ways that people can reduce their impact. We collected clothing that people were going to throw away and at our exhibition we set them out and told people that they could bring old clothes or take ones that they liked. This way we were giving people a first hand experience on how they could thrift and reuse clothes. after the exhibition we donated all of the clothes to our local thrift store. By doing this we are showing our understanding of global warming.
4. What was your largest area of growth during this project?
My biggest place for growth in this project was staying on task. I get distracted very easily but on certain days i would get very distracted and not do much work. What made it harder is that both of my partners also sometimes off task. I think that in the future this is something that I should get better at.
5. What was your greatest strength during this project?
My strength in this project is finding ideas and solutions to problems. At the beginning of the unit our project was on carpooling, but we didn't like that idea so we had to come up with a new idea and then our I came up with our final project idea.

Adolescences Project
Reflection
This project for me had me understand why we as adolescents do the stuff we do and because of these things that we know how i affects us. It made me think about the way I acted and made decisions all because of the things that I have learned in this project. We started out this project by learning about the brain. We learn all of the different sections of it and what they did to help us function. We watched a documentary on adolescents that summed up to be about teenage boys doing regrettable things. As I worked towards the finished product (an infographic) I narrowed down my choices. I am really happy with the final topic that I chose because I to me reflects all of the things that affect us as adolescents. We made a “rough draft” Infographic just to practice making one. From there we started working on our final one. At one point the class did peer review. We chose three infographics to give positive and negative feedback on. This helped me to refine my work so that it could be the best form of itself.
