Exposition Writing

For 2 weeks now we have been working on a Exposition.
Here is my conclusion about who is a better leader out of Barack Obama and Peter Jackson.

I think Barack Obama is a better leader than Peter Jackson because he is more motivational than Peter Jackson because Obama displays it more often than Peter does.

He is also a good active thinker because he thinks outside the box, and comes up with good ideas about america.

But peter Jackson only comes up with ideas for movies and motivates people that are producers and directors.

Barack Obama is a fantastic leader he get stuck in and he is effective  and he lives up to the expectations So overall I think Barack Obama is a better leader than Peter Jackson.

What do you think what is your opinion ?

Term 1 Integrated Learning - Leadership

We have been learning all about What makes a good leader.

Here is a link to the Leadership modelling book.

We identified that good leaders show 6 main character traits. These are…….

Integrity, trustworthy, resilient, Active thinking, goal focused

and motivational.

The leadership trait that I think I show the most is Goal focused because I normally am focused on one thing at a time and want to complete that thing before I move onto something else.

The leadership trait I would most like to develop is Motivational because I would like to motivate people in different ways, especially in writing.

Something NEW I have learned about leadership is what Integrity means because at first when they asked us as a group what it meant I had to search it up on Google.

The SOLO level that I reached during this unit of learning is Extended abstract because I can evaluate my ideas that I come up with.

My next step in learning about leadership is to apply everything that I have learned about leadership to my own leadership roles.

PE - STRIKING and FIELDING.

WALT: Apply Striking and Fielding activities in a range of sports and activities.

My Strengths Are :

Standing side on , keep my eye on the ball when someone is throwing to me. 
Firm and correct grip on whatever you are batting with.

The striking strategies I was able to effectively demonstrate during the games we played were……. Standing side on and keeping my on the ball so I didn't get hit in the face

and having a tight grip on the bat

The throwing and catching strategies I was able to effectively demonstrate during the games we played were……. keeping my eye on the ball, cupped hands and soft for catching, looking at were I am aiming to throw the ball.

My Next Steps are:

to catch the ball more often to be more faster so I can actually catch the ball 

and to hit the ball with the bat with more power and follow through with the ball.

To improve my striking of a ball I need to hitting the ball to where I want the ball to go because I am kind of bad at that

To Improve my catching and fielding I need to keep the eye on the ball so I can catch it more often because to be honest I kind of just stand on the field and wait for another person to get the ball

The game that I enjoyed the most was rounders because I can hit the ball well enough for me to run around the bases and not get out and I is fun

Peer mediation merit badge can do

Today I had peer mediation at lunch time I got my things and met my partner at side the class.

Evaluating Information Chart

Today we have been working on this Evaluating information chart.

We wrote reason why we should change the flag on the left side. And why we shouldn't change the flag on the right side.
Here is a screen shot of me and my partners doc that we came up with.
