race Project Page for Biology
Project Summary
It was a pretty easy simple project. We learned about race and the very many things that happen in this world due to race. There are different races that just simply dont like other races because someone else dont like them like their family.
The skills i have learned during this project were makeing an animoto video for an assignment for this project.
The content i learned during this project were stuff like the Genocide in Rwanda. How horrible it was and how many people were killed. 800,000 people :o. <-- Face. So many people died but it was not just from killing eachother (hutus and tutsis), it was also from starvation not haveing any food or any water to drink. In biology my classmates and I were learning about genetics/Genes. Genes have everything to do with race. Genes are what give you your skin color and Looks. A lot of race has happend because of looks and skin color. Like racist comments. There are many steriotypes(not going to say any). Because of racistism, we had the Rwanda Genocide and the Holocaust and just plain ol fights in the streets.
Evidence of learning

I included this work sample because it is an example of some hard work i have done by creating the video.

I included this work sample because it is a simple letter to the president informing him about the rwanda genocide and some ideas that can be used next time a Genocide is to occur.
Reflection
My Weakness in this project were sleeping and wasteing time. I would mess around with friends, and talk a lot to them and distract them which was not funny or nice, it was mean. I would also go onto different websites like coolmath-games.com instead of posterous or edmodo. I would walk around class and not pay attention. I would play swords with yard sticks and throw airplanes around.
My strengths in this project were, always eventually getting my work done. I would always finish it but sometimes late and sometimes i did good on the assignment/work. Another strength was my typing. I am a very fast typer with very little mistakes. Well I'm not the best speller but I get my work done fast when i know im doing.
My work in this class has changed over the course of the year by a little bit. not very much. The little bit thats changed is my grade. It has been going up becuase I have been working harder. :D
