JAKE'S PORTFOLIO

 

The project I really excelled in this year was the Native American mascots project in US History. To me, excelled means that you understood the content and showed it in the project. I think I easily showed what I knew in this project. For this project I was put in a group with 3 other people. Then we had to debate about why Native American mascots should be banned or not. My group got assigned to the side that is against Native American Mascots. Then we had to do research about why the mascots are offensive and find statistics to back up our claims. 2 artifacts that show I excelled is a highlighted version of our groups opening statement and a highlighted version of out closing statement. These artifacts shows how I took the knowledge and statistics I knew and how I was able to incorporate it into the statements. I think I was so successful in this process because we had practice arguing earlier in the year during the mock trial in Language Arts.
