Hour of Code A reason I decided to include this assignment in my portfolio was because in computers we are doing Hour of Code.Some knowledge I am starting to gain from the assignment is to write code by playing Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies. Some other knowledge I am starting to gain is to draw figures by writing numbers and using words like ellipse,rectangle,and triangle. I also, learned to create drawings like the one of the snowman. In conclusion, creating a drawing with shapes was fun.
Hajj Journal A reason I decided to include this assignment in my portfolio was because their were many assignments on the hajj journal and because this assignment was in core and computers. Some knowledge I gained was to write a 6 paragraph essay about how I would feel to go on a hajj with Mansa Musa . Another,thing we did was we needed to make a Meograph by adding events that were happening to us on our way to Mecca. Also,while making the Meograph we could add a map of the place and add pictures.A statement I have is that creating a Meograph was hard because every time I saved my work the next day it wouldn't appear.

Sochi Olympics A reason I decided to include the Sochi Olympics assignments was because in 3rd quarter we focused on using spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel and Google Spreadsheets.First,we had to find the top 10 medal winning nations by going to a link in Mr.Armstrong's website and then we had to use a spreadsheet and fill in the name of the country the number of medals for gold,silver,and bronze.Next we had to make two bar graphs of the top 10 winning nations.Lastly,we had to share it with two people and they had to check our work.I believe using a spreadsheet was useful because later on if we need help organizing a party you can use a spreadsheet by checking off the people that will go to the party.
Atlas Grades A reason why I decided to include the Atlas Grades Assignment was because we will be doing this all year.First,we had to use a Google Spreadsheet then we had to get our agenda and copy all our grades from quarter 1 to quarter 4 because every Thursday in computer class we copy our grades from atlas into our agenda.Then, after I copied down the grades we had to get this URL to get the GPA for every grade and get the letter grade too.Next,we had to put colors around the the spreadsheet for the Computech colors.I believe making the grade spreadsheet was helpful in recording our grades to see how we improve or go down in each quarter.
My Life A reason why I decided to include the My Life assignment was because in computers we had to make a document telling about the things we liked in our childhood or what we liked to do.We had to include pictures and the background had to be our favorite color.We even had to write our favorite thing for each grade since we started school.Also,we had to write a small phrase of the things we like to do.Lastly,I think making that document was fun because I got remember all by childhood.
Haiku-The Big Wave A reason I decided to include the The Big Wave-haiku was because in core we had to read a book about the life of a boy in Japan.So,we had to make a haiku in computers by making the background a big wave and we had to make five haiku's like the exposition,rising action,climax,falling action,and the resolution.Then,we also had to write a summary about the book.We even had to put a picture next to the haiku describing the sequence of events in the story.Lastly, my Mr. Armstrong sent a copy to Mrs. Hibler and she printed it out and put it in the classroom.
