My reflection of the Academy: 9-29-11

This week in the Academy has been difficult. We got assigned a new project and the teachers don't like my partner  and I's ideas. We are trying really hard to come up with a solution but we turn out to have a problem each time. Also our teachers have been giving us lectures because some guys in our class can't be quiet and they won't listen!
I have been trying hard this week and I think I'm getting the hang out this blogging, goggle docs and achieve 3000.
If i had to change one this about this week it would be the teachers explaining the projects and what they want from us better. I feel like I can only talk to one out of three teachers because I feel like the other ones will yell at me.
Being in the Academy has its ups and downs and I'm still not sure if this class is right for me or not... {:

What does "College and Career Readiness" means to me?

What "College and Career Readiness" means to me is that we need to be ready for college and our future career. The 21st century skills really help me get the right information. The skills I need for my future are knowing what websites I need to use for the correct information.
When I am older i would love to travel Italy and write fiction books. To be successful at that I would need to take more writing, language and English classes.
Writing and traveling are important to me because it's how i express my feelings and I get to learn new things along the way!

The Ropes Course

I got a chance to climb up high and walk across a wooden beam. I was scard at first but my classmates helped me through it. What i got out of it was that I can trust my classmates even if they are joking around and being funny. I know that they will always be there for me even if I fall.
When I was standing on that wooden bean really high in the air, they were supporting me with every step I took. My classmates are awesome and I could not have asked for better ones!

Design A Room

In a new class, called The Acadamy, I've been taking at Arrowhead High School we got our first project. What we had to do is design our classroom into something fun and creative. Our mission was to design a classroom that was not like normal classroom, it had to be creative, fun and something that would help us learn better. During this project I learned that there can be a bunch of different ways to learn, and how my classmates learn. Getting this chance to give something to the class and have your idea(s) put into the room was awesome. Having the chance to make our classroom really showed me that the teachers care about our ideas and thoughts and how students really want to learn. I learn a lot about my classmates through this project and I learned about myslef too.
