"To Weird to Live To Rare To Die"

= __Assignment 5- Reflection for Your World Tour__ = Now that you are finished with your tour, I would like you to reflect on this project. Please answer the following questions clearly ** on your wiki page **.
 * 1) **Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?
 * 2) **Explain** one thing you think you did well in this project?
 * 3) **Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?
 * 4) How would you assess yourself using the Academic Achievement Criteria rubric and the Student Expectations rubric? (Click here to see these two rubrics.)

1. One thing that i really liked about Google Earth was that you could see the streets, so whenever i went into street version it always brought back really good memories. 2. I think i did really well relating the world events to my life, connecting the world events to my life. 3. If i ever had to do a Google Earth tour again, i would make sure that i pick events that are in different area's of the world, because that makes for a more interesting tour. 4. I think for skills and technique I am progressing. i say this because when i was watching my GE tour again i realised that i should have zoomed out in some of the snapshot pictures because when the ballon pops up it blocks most of the picture. With the recording I had a lot of moments where i said thigs such as "....umm" or "...so, yea" so i think i could have rehearsed it more so it has a flow to it.
 * Work Habbits:** I feel like i was meeting expectations because they were times where i was a bit behind the rest of the class, ut i caught up cause i did it at home. They were also times where i felt like doing the work at home rather than at school. For example prefered doing the recording at home, so instead of doing the recording at school i work on making sure my balloons were done right
 * Ownership of** **Learning:** I think I was exceeding in my work habits because even when i was behind i always made sure i wa caught up by the next lesson. And the time where i didn't do the recording at school and did something else, I think that didn't show that i was using my time effectively but I made sure to get it done, and i did something else.
 * Behaviour****:** For my behaviour i think that i am meeting expectations. I say this because I think I was cooperative and respectful, but I wasn't always interactive or anything. I think I could have been more involved in the discussions we had, instead of just sitting there listening to the conversation.

__Your World Assignment 1__ For this assignment you will create a presentation that shows us where you've been in the world and the different events in your life. The first part of this assignment is ** planning ** your presentation. Make a list on your wiki page that shows the year, where you were, and what happened in your life at that time. Write about ** 6-8 events **. Use this as an example about my life to see what you have to do.
 * Please read and follow the directions carefully and completely. **

 * 3) **1973**- My family and I moved to Abu Dhabi in the UAE. When I was 5, I stepped on a nail that went deep into my foot.
 * 4) **1975**- We moved again to Egypt. This is where my soccer ball got run over by a car. I cried for two days!

 * 1) //**1999:**// I was born on October 28th in Gaborone, Botswana. My family and I lived there in a HUGE house out of the city for about seven years.

 * 4) //**2006:**// I was six years old, still living in Botswana and I thought it would be a great idea to experiment with fire. It wasn't. I lit up a match and dropped something on the floor. I tried to pick up the thing I dropped with the matched still lit. Next thing I know I'm running around the house with my whole head on fire. Lucky my sister set me out and I was rushed to the emergency room.
