From all the goals, I met 11 already, because some of them I didn't do it really well, so I didn't reach it. The 11 goals that I met, I can reach it because I try hard enough to met the goals, and some of them I got the helped from the other people.

From the goals I met, some of them I try it by myself , but with a little help from other people, and some of them I met it by some of the teachers, and some of them is from my friends. The helped that I got from friends is playing sport with my friends and the other help is I do the best that I can, if there are project or an essay. The helped that I got from teacher is improving my English and Mandarin, I can join the basketball team, and improve my basketball skills. The thing that I do by myself is improving my typing skills and improving my presentation on something.

For the goals that I not meet, the thing that stopped me is myself, because I didn't pay a big attention to the teacher. For example, the goals that I didn't met is my listening and writing skills, because I didn't listen really well to the teacher and for writing, because I didn't practice writing a lot. Then, for get a good score on every subject, I didn't met, because I don't really study hard on the subject that I don't understand and I didn't really ask question if I didn't understand.

I leaned many things on students and a person. On the students, I learned about we need to pay attention to the teacher when teacher are explaining something, we need to do homework at home if there are homework, and need to study at school and review at home. For a person, the thing that I learned is no need to be very upset of something bad that will make me sad and don't let something that make us upset let us down on something.

I think my English is improving much, since form the first day of school, because I already study hard in English, I always read some book or words in English, I write many things like blog or story in English, and I talk with friends and teachers in English.

Final Task: Analysis

My topic from this project is basketball and the essential question is How can I learn about some successful basketball players? and How can I learn to shoot better from them? I choose the topic basketball is because on this project I think it will be fun if I choose the topic is related to sport. So, I choose basketball, because basketball is my most favorite sports from all of the other sports. Every weekend I will go to the basketball court and play by myself. I choose the essential question "How can I learn about some successful basketball players?" because I think this question will help to write the to do list. I choose the question "How can I learn to shoot better from them?" because I wanted to learn how to shoot better, I can't really shoot the ball really well.

There are 3 part of bloom's taxonomy that we already done, knowledge, comprehension, and application. On knowledge part, it was researching about the to do list that I write in the Google docs, it was researching about the most successful teams, successful coaches, and most successful players. There were a lot more researches that I do and I also included the images. On comprehension part, it was research, too, but I included the video, too. On this part, I already choose the players that I wanted to learn from. that is Kobe Bryant. At last, I done the video, the video is about I'm talking about the skills that Kobe Bryant use when he played. On application part, it was doing the skills that we wanted to do from the players that I choose, so I looked back at the comprehension part and I read and do the skills that Kobe Bryant do.

Now, I will answer my essential question that I choose. So, the answer from the question "How can I learn about some successful basketball players?" is to researches more and more skills that the basketball players do. Then read and think the skills that can be learned that we don't how to do and practice again and again like the basketball players do, they practice, practice, and practice. The answer to the question "How can I learn to shoot better from them?" is to practice shooting like every basketball players do. To shoot better the hand need to handle the ball really well, the two thumbs need to make a T alphabet, bends the both knees, don't throw too high and not too low, and don't throw too hard and not too soft.

Final project - Freak The Mighty

People opinions will not affect our feeling about ourselves in our life. It will not really affect me, because if many other people have many insults about me, I will just disregard them, but if they give good judgment about me, I will say “Thank You”. It can been seen that, on 6th grade while play basketball with my friends, I beaten by many points, first of all my friends said that he’s better than me then, he said that I will not going to be better than him, therefore I just ignore him because I think that someday I will be better than him. Another example is when I’m 6th grade, I play basketball with another friend and I’ve beaten by many points, but my friends said that just cheer up I will be better next time, and I say “Thank You, I will try harder, next time.”

Another example, it will not affect Kevin, one of the character in the novel freak the mighty, he was just disregard the people who give judgment to him, because Kevin think that his smarter than anybody else, so he just pretend that the people who give a bad judgment is just jealous about the smart that Kevin have. It can been seen that while Kevin and Max meet Tony.D, and Tony.D call Kevin Dwarf, Kevin ignore him because Kevin are smarter than him, therefore Kevin call Tony.D a cretin. However in my opinions, I think maybe if the people that give a good comments about him, Kevin will appreciate it and be very happy.


However, sometimes it will affect somebody, if the people that give insults is too much or said too far. In contrast, sometimes it will not affect the people, because the people just think that the people that give judgment is just jealous about the feelings the other people have that they don’t have. It can be seen that, if one of the people give an insult to another people like you’re so stupid or you’re so fat, the one who care about it will say like “No, I didn’t” or maybe will be sad. For the people who didn’t care, for example if someone gives insult, they just say, “Yes, but that it’s OK” or maybe just disregard them. But, I think that if the people give a good opinion to another people like “Your so kind” or “Your so smart” the people that get the opinion will appreciate it, or say “Thank You,” or maybe sometimes it will said like, “You are the smart” or “Your are the one who are kind.” Thus, base on my opinions, it will be better if don’t care about it or maybe something bad will happen if we care about it.
