Summary:

When we were doing the charity fair I learned that selling things could be hard or easy. I also learned that working ahead is a lot easier than being on time because it is less stressful and when you have to present you have more time to practice. I also learned where all of the things that we used to make our product came from, the sunglasses buttons, buttons and hair ties all came from China and the thread came from New Jersey. I also learned how the things we used to make our product got here. The sunglasses buttons, buttons and hair ties all got here by plane and the thread got here by train. I learned all that and more.

Backward-looking: Have you done a similar kind of work in the past (earlier in the year or in a previous grade; in school or out of school)? I have done one thing that was close to this and that was the charity fair last year. It was not the same as this year because we only worked on it in math so we did not do a presentation or a carbon footprint like we did this year. The similarities are that it is called the same thing as last year, we sold things and we did work in math. I like this year better if anything because we worked on it in every class.

Inward-looking: How do you feel about this piece of work? What parts of it do you particularly like? Dislike? Why? What did/do you enjoy about this piece or work? I feel that this was one of my favorite projects. I like that we got to do a small part in each class to make one big thing. I also liked doing it with Sienna because I feel like we both worked equally. I can not think of anything that I disliked because it was all awesome.

Outward-looking: What's the one thing you particularly want people to notice when they look at your work? I want people to notice that it took a while to do and that we put time and work into doing this project. I also want people to notice that we are trying to donate to a worthy cause that helps innocent children that get cancer. I also want them to notice that we made a one of a kind hair band that is actually really easy to make.

Forward-looking: What's one goal you would like to set for yourself for next time? Next time I want to have it be the same because it was perfect this time because I got it done early and I loved it. The reason that I want it to be like this is because I had tons of fun doing this but I also got everything that I needed to get done, done. It was my favorite project that I have done this year. I want it to be the same.
