There are 3 important pillars of PE that you must consider in order to self assess your progress. 
Please consider, reflect on and write about each of the following categories of when determining your mark.

1.  Action: Attendance & Participation (60%)
Attendance, gym strip, willingness to participate in a variety of activities.  Field trip attendance if applicable.  Effort in different activities & block wide fitness days. 

Attendance wise, I'm always there if i'm not, I usually get my parents to call in. 
I always have my gym strip with me but it depends if I'm motivated enough to get changed and participate with maximum effort.
My willingness to participate is questionable at times because to be honest, I'm not really the type to try new things but most of the time I end up giving in and doing whatever we'd be doing.
My effort on fitness days is tremendous! ( except for when we do fitness )

2.  Contribution: to the class as a community - leadership, responsible decision making, empathy towards others, inclusion. How do you make our class better? (25%)

I'm see myself as someone who motivates the group of people I  surround myself with during this PE class. Although, it may not look like I do, I try my hardest to keep my friends involved by showing them how it's done. I'm nice and i'm pretty sure nobody's scared of me. 

3.  Reflection: thoughtful completion of blog posts, self assessment, knowledge of strengths & weaknesses, preparation for interview.(15%)

I don't usually use my blog that often but when I do I try to make it as accurate as possible. Eventhough I don't blog much, the few times that I blogged I learnt many things such as my weaknesses and what my goals are.


In my opinion I think I deserve 86% in this class.

Participation review

a)  your attendance & daily effort (being prepared, willing to participate)
b)  the energy that you bring to class
c)  how you deal with participation in activities that you are not very skilled at (being outside of your comfort zone)
d)  what can YOU do to make our class better from now on?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a) My attendance is pretty good. My daily effort is satisfactory, sometimes I'm just not in the mood to do some things so that causes my effort to go down.

b) I think I bring good energy to the class most of the time by participating and what not..

c) I usually don't do it or give minimal effort in whatever were doing.

d) Participate more and bring more positive energy to the class.

Dance Week

Please write about Dance Week - What was your attendance during this week?  Why?  Describe your participation throughout the week.  What was your favourite part?

My attendance for dance week was pretty good, I don't think I missed out on any of the dancing. Because I'm a good student and I don't skip class.My participation during that week was alright, I wasn't really feeling the whole dance week so I didn't really want to do it.

THE BASICS:

Attendance - How many classes have you missed?   Why? 


I have missed 2 classes because I was sick.

Did Not Participate (DNP) - How many classes have you not participated in?  Why?


I did not participate 3 times because i wasn't interested in the activity that we were doing.

No Strip (NS) - How many times have you forgotten / not changed into gym strip?


I always have my strip.

How have the above most basic parts of coming to PE affected your ability to participate in PE so far this semester? It does not affect my ability to participate in PE.

PARTICIPATION:

How would you rate the intensity of your participation on fitness day?   On regular classes?
Provide a specific example of a class (or two) that you are proud of your participation.  Why? In what ways could you improve?


9/10, 8/10. When we did the normal beep test, I ran a 12 and then the second time we did it in the small gym, I ran a 13. I can improve by staying fit outside of school.

OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS:

What are your best attributes in PE?

Sometimes I encourage Raffy or Shabeg. Sometimes I help clean up equipment.

What type of energy do you bring to class?

I bring amazing energy.

What can you do to make the class better for you and others?

Participate in everything.

Vertical Workouts



        Today, I worked on my vertical so I can be able to jump higher in basketball. In my previous post, Goals for my Body, I didn't feel the intensity of the workout video I found the day of that post. So I found the 2 following videos on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU01Gk6nxrU  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KpjEi6S7H4

        I liked the 2 videos I found today more than the other one because I personally feel like it's more intense.

Arthropods

        


        3 characteristics of an arthropod:

         - Exoskeleton
         - Compound Eyes
         - Segmented Bodies

        Video:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-fK4ESb-vo

         I find this video interesting because it shows you how artropods live in different environments and how they adapt to their surroundings. It aso shows you the different classes of Arthropoda ( Trilobitomorpha, Merostomata, Arachnida, Malacostraca, Insecta, Chilopoda, Diplopoda) There's alot of stuff I can say about the video because it's almost 30 minutes long but i'm just going to keep it short and simple.
