Assessment

I put most of my energy into the prezi and researching the three magic tricks that were simple and not too complicated. I did the best on my Prezi. No parts of my project were missing. I was successful because I used my class time wisely and what I did not finish I did some of it at home. It saved me time to study for my other classes and allowed me to learn to use my time more efficiently. During the time I was working on my project, I was able to learn a few magic tricks. But before I even try it to an audience I should practice it first. I have improved my knowledge a bit by learning this and once I can fully do these I can entertain people with it.

My rubric score

Didn't know how to mark myself with it, so i tested it in test run.

Opening Activity

The main idea of the chapter is about two families who hated another and killed off the other families members and friends. The supporting details were when the families were shooting and each others and constantly attacking each other and killing another like mad men. Other details that were given were the ambushes and gunshots and complaints and that a truce was not possible. I can relate this to my life. I have sometimes felt angry like them and have wanted to kill them but unlike them I have not killed any humans out of rage and anger.

Opening Activity

The main idea is about Louis Borgenichts and how he managed to earn money and raise his family of three. The supporting details were his wife and his two children. Also the aprons he sold was another supporting detail. I can't apply this to my life but I can explain it. My family use to run a business and we sold stuff and in return we got money. The money was used to feed and support our family members and some of it went to taxes and other things.

Rubric

Opening Activity

The main idea is that opportunities will present themselves to geniuses and outliers as a certain place and at a certain time.

Opening activity

The main idea of the chapter is how rich families raise their children differently from families who are poorer. A supporting detail would be that rich families tell their children to speak up and demand what ever they want (spoiled child). And a poorer family would have their child grow up for themselves and only look after them and not really support them as they grow. This does not apply to my life because my family is about an average family and my parents reward us when we achieve something and takes care of us often. However, they also leave us to ourselves at times  and we just work by ourselves.

Opening Activity

The main idea of the chapter is about two geniuses that struggled with how people thought of them. The supporting details were with Oppenheimer and Langan. Langan was poor and was declined of his scholarship in college so he dropped out and Oppenheimer was just stressed and hated how his tutor made him learn something he had hated very much. I don't know how I can apply this to my life. Geniuses have problems because normal people don't understand how they think. An example is a really hard math question. A genius may be able to figure it out in a few minutes and a normal person may take longer because they are thinking differently.

Opening Activity

People who have high intelligence and IQs are considered geniuses. But someone with"enough" skills/intelligence can be as qualified as the genius. They both have the possibility of doing the requirements for a task. However, the genius isn't better because he's brighter. There is only a comparison with the requirements and not how smart someone is what what they achieved in their life time. Our society runs with this ideal. It's like some one who wants to be a scientist. In high school they must get the requirements to become a scientist and it doesn't matter if you scored 100 or 95 if the requirement was 90 and above.

Opening Activity

The main idea of the chapter is that 10 000 is not the only reason to become successful. The supporting details that were given is that you also need luck and opportunities. An example would be Bill Gates. He had nine opportunities that allowed him to program and learn about computers. He spent most of his time working on it and then more opportunities presented them. This is a fact because some one who learns and goes to school may just turn out to be an ordinary person and not some multi-billionaire. There are only a few billionaires in our world. Normal people have just been given the opportunity to go to school for education and people like Bill Gates have been given plenty of opportunities that allowed him to master computer programming.

Inquiry Project Outline

Opening Activity

The main idea of the chapter is about Bill Joy having the opportunity to learn and experience computer programming. The supporting details that were given were that Bill spent most of his time as the university of Michigan and programmed all he wanted for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. This is a fact because it explains how he became that successful. Because he had the time at the university of Michigan and accomplished his ten-thousand hours of training to be successful at computer programming. It could also be an opinion because the story may be fake and the truth is covered up because Bill doesn't want to share his successes.
