DAILY REVIEW 3/14

Today I got some work done, but not as much as I wished to do. I got all the notable people I want to include with some of their back ground info, and some extra work on top of that. I hope to get more work done on wednesday.

DAILY GOALS 3/14

Today my goal is to figure out what I want to include in my pbl of choice: notable people's last words. I.e. what people to involve, some psychological analyzation, etc.

Chehah state park governments

Today we studied three types of governments; those governments include:
  • Democracy (A form of government where all the people vote together, and majority rules.) I think this would be the best practice of government, and most successful if we were to practice it for a year.
  • Dictatorship (form of government in which absolute power is exercised by a dictator.I think being that I was the dictator, I would most definitely enjoy practicing that form of government for a year.
  • Dude-ocracy (A form of government that primarily "dudes" are in charge) I think that if we were to practice this form of government for a year, it would conclude to chaos, and end in revolt.

Daily Goals. 1/31

  • Finish the last bookmark.
  • Check and see if the letter to my experts is suitable to send.
  • Send email to my experts.
  • contact partner about work.

1/31 Daily work.

At this point I think I'll be able to finish on-time, so I feel more positive about the project, and self-assured with completing the tasks of today. I feel some-what successful, but I'd feel more so if I were already finished with all the benchmarks assigned. Collaborating with my partner is going well; I'll be contacting him to see what he's had completed so far later today. I also feel as if I am some-what on pace.

Daily Goals Reflection 1/26

I sadly did not achieve my daily goals, because I had trouble figuring titles for some of the paragraphs. Although I didn't finish, I accomplished a fair amount of work, regardless.

Daily Goals. 1/26



  • finish my three bench marks completely, then at least get started on the 4th.

As for who this Ohpedia might be useful to, I suppose it'd be good for other high schoolers trying to learn the same as what I am currently learning to finish these Ohpedia entrees. They'd be able to use the site to help them in school, being that these are the standards for schools of all of the state of Florida, whether they're in public, private, or homeschool. Since this page will more than likely be for mainly children 12th grade and below, I should put this in context easy to understand, not because tht way they can comprehend it, but because that way they can memorize the information I'm giving in an easier fashion.

Daily goals (January 19th)

My goals of today would include:

So far that's all I have, but there most likely will be more throughout the day.

Metacognition.

My own interpretation of metacognition was that it means the process of ones own strategy of solving problems.  It derives from many greek meanings, but the most suitable derivative was "self" or even possibly the word "beyond". For example, the best way to be metacognitive would be to think beyond one's self would normally think to solve a problem.

We then each opened a blog entry and listed themes that would help make a wiki page strong, accurate and appealing. We then gathered together and collaborated with the best themes of a wikipedia page that was most accurate.
