Three Paragraph Reflection

I identified Steve Erwin and Charles Darwin pretty well and I tried hard to honor them at our resilience cafe. I think thay my artwork showed about Steve Erwin and Charles Darwin pretty good. My artwork showed the resilience that boath of them showed. It had resilient facts about them right by the islands.
Me and Kevin boath worked hard to plan what we where going to say during the resilience cafe. We worked pretty hard as a team to create this whole project. We boath helped each other out with the art and the spoken word piece. I think that I presented my art to the large audience of parents and children pretty good. They seemed to understand pretty good about all of it and didn't look to confused. It was hard to make the explanation of the art piece but I think at the end it turned out pretty good. People read it and told me it was interesting so I guess it was pretty good.
I shared my writing with only two people but none of them had anything negative to say about it. And I think that my spelling wasn't that bad because people read through it and I used spellcheck a couple times. The connection between our two resilient indoviduals was not outstanding but it was just pretty good. I reasearched all about our community member but I did not put it in my polished writing. I don't usually use slang in the first place so I didn't put it in my polished writing. So in this whole project I think that I reached meets because it wasn't terrible but it could have been better.

reflection

In my music piece I did not use many literary elements in my project it is also because I was gone for a whole week and I wasn’t really sure. I did a lot of research on my two characters and I tried to get lot of that information out on to my music. My project did not connect to the civil war in anyway, but there might be some civil rights relationship between them. I thought the connection between our resilient people was very good and very powerful. I thought we expanded enough on there connection too. My recording was pretty good even though I only had a couple days of working because I was sick for a week and there were problems with my music the whole time.

For resilient cafe night I was well prepared and helped get set for it and I was very professional. I tried my hardest that night, I thought my speech turned out very well in the end. I tried to stay as most seriousness I possibly could, and put in sincere effort into my speech. So I overall tried pretty much my hardest. I worked very hard in my lyrics and I also didn't no we were suppose to have literary elements, I might have missed it when I was sick for a week but I did use a lot of historical facts about my resilient people in it.

I tried to have my lyrics as good as they possibly could be, I in fact had people revise my piece. I, myself revised it several times, I had my partner Arman revise it, I had Saul revise it, I don't remember but Gunner might of revised my piece too. I remember most of my websites I used which was wikipedia and other websites.

100 word piece

well i am doing the spoken word piece so the message I was trying to get a cross from my poetry was why they were famous, some interesting facts, and why they were reslient. The biggest one is though is how there resilent. One thing that I kinda didn't show in my poetry was there connection between both characters and it might take them two or three times to find it but thats what I want, cause then they understand my poem a whole lot more. For my poetry we used a garage band drum instrument, bass instrument, and a live guitar played by my partner Arman, if you interested in what song it was it's "dance of death" by Iron Maiden. All those could change at anytime though.

darwin and irwin

A connection I have between these to great people is that i also love animals and I have serval. They were both unique in there own ways which I also do because I dont like to follow groups and stuff. Darwin also had great adventures over sea just like I love going over sea. My good connection with irwin was that My whole family loves animals just like irwin.

poem

my name is charles darwin,
my childhood was not very easy on me,
when I got older I was put throw
in jail for my beliefs on evelutions,

when I got out of jail
I decided to published books on
evelutions anyways,
and my famous book is call "orgin
of species",

i sailed and found the beautiful
galapagos islands,
just because I didn't do good as a child
I still tried what no one else would,
and in the end I earned my own
spot in history.

charles darwins quote

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”

-Charles Darwin

what I think he is trying to say is that toughness and smartness does not matter all that matters is that if you can adapt to new things then you will still keep on living.
