 * Directions:** Now that we are finished our flight simulation, I would like you to reflect on what we did. On your wiki page, please answer the following questions in **complete** and **detailed** sentences.
 * 1) Did you feel like you were in a race? Why or why not?
 * 2) Did you and other team members agree on what to do? Why or why not? Give an example of one agreement or disagreement.
 * 3) What parts of the flight activity were the most challenging? Why?
 * 4) If you were going to do the same activity again, what would you change?
 * 5) Name two competencies you worked on during this flight activity. For each competency you chose, explain what you did to develop the competency.

Answers 1. While were doing the flight simulation I did feel like I was in a race because everyone was trying to get to Morgan Town first and people were falling behind or leading. Also because the objective was to get to Morgan Town first so my team did our flight plans faster and we made a flight route in the beginning. 2. My flight members agreed and disagreed on many things because we all had different ideas and our brains didn't all work the same but we used teamwork and listened to each other to find the best idea. 3. The most challenging part for me was choosing the fate card because you never wanted to pick something bad that would effect you, so your group could make it safely to your destination. Thankfully my group got lucky and we got good fate cards and when we didn't they didn't effect us. 4.If I did this activity again I would change our flight path so that we could be ahead of other people, so that I would be first to Morgan Town again. 5. During this flight activity I worked on Teamwork and Communication because you always had to cooperate with your group so my teamwork really improved because it taught me to listen to other peoples ideas. Communication because you always had to talk with your group, so you could decide where you were going to next and what latitude and longitude lines you were crossing.

 * __Goal 1:__** My goal this year in humanities is to become better at writing **By** looking over my work and checking my spelling

__**Goal 2:**__ My 2nd goal for humanities is to become better at speaking ** By ** working on my presenting skills and practicing my presentation with someone in my family and get feedback on what I could improve on.

Assignment 1 1. What did you enjoy most about making/presenting the cube? I enjoyed taping my cube to make it a actual cube instead of a unfolded cut out piece of paper. 2. What was the most difficult part about making/presenting the cube? The most difficult part of the cube for me was that you had to fold it just right so that the cube wouldn't fall apart when you were taping it down. 3. What would you do differently if you were to do a similar project again? I would make sure that all my homework was done and that I was on schedule instead of being behind in class and finishing late. 4. Which one of the AIS/D middle school competencies did you practice? Explain how you practiced it. I practiced communication because i didn't just communicate through speech or technology i communicated through a cube that I worked on by hand.

= __Assignment 1__ =


 * Create a seven-line poem about Bangladesh. Follow the format given below to write your poem. Use all six thematic maps from Chapter 2 on our wiki to help you. You must write descriptive words not the definition. For example, if the climate is arid, you would need to write "dry" or "not much rain" instead of writing arid.**


 * Line 1** Country name


 * Line 2** One phrase about a physical feature describing Bangladesh


 * Line 3** Two adjectives describing Bangladesh’s climate


 * Line 4** One detail describing Bangladesh's vegetation


 * Line 5** Two adjectives describing Bangladesh's population density


 * Line 6** One detail describing land use or resources in Bangladesh


 * Line 7** Region name of Bangladesh


 * Step 1**

Take notes in your Humanities journal on your research for Bangladesh.


 * Step 2**


 * ON YOUR WIKI PAGE**, write descriptive words or phrases for each line. For example, one of Canada's climates is 'subarctic'. For Line 3, I would write these adjectives: cold, rainy, or snowy. I wouldn't write 'subarctic'.

Geo Poem Bangladesh Low land, Flat Storms, flooding, humid Tall trees with large leaves that stay green and beautiful all year Over populated, dense area Natural gas, gold, sliver or copper Monsoon Asia
