Reflections on 1st Term Exhibitions Projects






Time to reflect! Were you graded fairly today? Would you have given yourself a different grade in one or more categories?

I think I was graded fairly because I think the way I presented was good. I was not joking around or laughing I was being professional and my project was perfect it was completely finished so I felt like that was one of my best works I have ever done so I feel like I was graded fairly.I know my project was graded fairly because I had one one of my rubrics I had all 4's and the other two I had 3's and 4's so I feel good about my grade.If I was to grade my own project I would of gave myself the same grade because I know that my project I put a lot of effort into it and really tried my best on it.So if I had to grade myself or change something about my grade I would not change anything I would leave my grade the same way it is.That's why I think I was graded fairly during the presentations.

I think I was graded fairly today.I say that because when I was graded I knew the person that was grading me. Also because she didn't just give me all 4's she gave me 4's and 3's. Lastly I was graded by someone that I didn't know and she gave me all 4's. I think I got better grades from her because I learned what I had to improve from the first person. In other words that's why I think I was graded fairly.

I did get graded fairly today or should I say yesterday. I got really good grades and advice from the 6th graders. One advice that I got from a 6th was to add facts about the different rocks. But rather than that I got all 4's and one 3. If their were one category I could change It would be "add specific details". I would like to change that category because I got a 3 on it. My goal was to earn all 4's on each category.

I think that I was graded fairly but then again I don't. I was graded fairly because I know that I didn't have most the things on the rubric. Like I didn't have a graphic organizer so she gave me the right grade on that. One way that I didn't get graded fairly was she didn't let me finish then gave me a bad grade. If she would have let me finish she would have gave me a better grade. In other words I was graded alright.

I was graded fairly today because the person I presented to gave me 14points. Which is really good because I work really hard on my presentation. At first I thought I was going to het lower than a 10, but I was worng. There are two catergories I would have given myself a different grade. Those catergories are answer and evidence.I think I should got a four in those two because my presentation was strong in those catergories. My points was fair but it could have been better.

No I dont think I was graded fairly because I got graded on a 3 for my explination. Which I totally disagree with because I know for myself that I take pride in my work. I also know that I provided good reasons and arguments about the information and added my own ideas that had a connection with the research.So with all that said I disagree 100% on how I was graded. I wuold like my grade to be changed because I put work and effort into what I do these are my reasons!!!!.

The person that graded me, gave me a four (which is the highest) for all the categories on the rubric for my first term goals presentation. There are many reasons why I think that I was graded fairly. The first reason is that I have worked hard on making my presentation look presentable, but also professional. The student understood the focus question and I answered it directly without going off topic. In addition, I used at least 3 pieces of information/facts from what I learned to back up my answers. Lastly, I provided good reasons, arguments, ideas, and I had a neat, well-organized presentation with different pictures and interesting facts.

I do think i was fairly graded because.I presented in a professional manner.Also i was calm and wasn't fidgeting with my paper.I spoke clearly and didn't stutter.I looked focused and made eye contact 99% of the time.I had details to tell the listener.I explained further with my work than i wrote just in case they didn't fully understand.That is why i think i was fairly graded.

I think I got graded fairly. The reason I think that is because it was not completely done. Then another reason I say my grade was good is because when I was talking to the people I was talking very professional. When I did my presentation I had a lot of good grades like 31s and 4`s. Then another reason is I had a lot of facts on John Wesley Powell and that made my presentation a little better. Since I did good on presenting my presentation and talking professional I got a good.

I know that I didn't finish my work on time. For that, I know that’s bad leadership on my part. Also I know if I had just put the silly things behind me, I would have got my work done. As my grandmother always tells me, "do what you have to do, before you do what you want to do". I take full responsibility. Also I know if I had done my work on time I most likely would have gotten an A, but since I didn’t, from honesty I give myself an F.

I believe I was graded fairly and I dissevered the grade I got because I worked hard on my project and stated everything I knew. But I know I could have done better (including more pictures and more knowledge) but I believe I still showed how much I learned over the course of term one. The people that graded me gave me 4's and 3's. And that’s fair to me, and that shows me that they were not just writing anything because if they did I will either get three 4's and one 3 or something like that but the two people that graded me graded me similar. I feel good about my presentation and my grade.

Based on the grade I got, I think I was graded really fair. I was not joking around even though the person was my friend. I felt like I could if I could put a little bit more effort into the PowerPoint. I still tried and I deserved the grade that I got. I hope that the next time that I have exhibition I could get a better grade. This is how I feel based on the grade that I got for my exhibition.

I think i was graded fairly.Only in one place I would have gave myself a 3 instead of a 4.When i was presenting i kept mispronouncing words.I kept getting side track and was talking to my friend.Witch was not very professional.That's the only place i would have given myself a different grade.

I was graded fairly last week on the Learning Goals project. I was graded fairly because I was saying things clearly, used alot of evidence, and I was taking it seriously. I have all fours as my scores. If I was grading myself, I would grade myself as all fours because my Powerpoint was great. My project had information about how resolution is affected elevation, how Neal Armstrong's picture showed the Earth was not flat, and how the Earth moves around the sun. Next time, I will put a picture of the sun and the Earth so people could understand what I was saying. I would find more information from the internet.

Dear Mr.B
I wasn't here today to present my project. So I'm able to say if I was graded fairly or not. Well if I was able to say I would most likely say I was graded fairly because I would have most likely got a good grade. Well because I was prepared and well rehearsed. Also because my presentation was very organized and detailed. I covered just about everything that was asked of me also!!!!

Well I didn't do my first term exhibition project. I didn't do it because my laptop was having some technical difficulties. For example the keynote project I was working on wouldn't open. Then my laptop took very long to load so I didn't have enough time to start a new project. So instead of presenting I graded two of my classmates on their presentation that's why I didn't do my first term exhibition project.

I do believe I was graded fairly because I worked hard on my presentation, I took my time with it.I believe that I gave a good presentation so I wasn't being distracted or anything like that.I was prepared and everything. So yes I think I was graded fairly.In the rubric I received a 4 on the answer area because it was a digital journal of Grand Canyon.It also had information about John Wesley Powell, the rock data, and the sketches, which is why I got a 4 in evidence. I made a Powerpoint that was very neat and explained each of the activities.Overall I got a good grade that I worked hard for.
