This is what i thought about the whole year in Tech Prep.
End of the Year Tech Prep 11 Reflection
Although this year is coming to an end I will probably remember everything that I did in Tech Prep. From the marshmallow tower to the career prezis. During all these activities we were taught lateral thinking, team work, and communication.
Lateral thinking is pretty much how you deal with a problem. We used lateral thinking in everything we did, even reading. The marshmallow tower was the one of the first things we use it in because as a group we had to find a way to make a stable sturctrue with very materials. Most class projects that we did always had a second meaning behind them.
When we worked on class projects that invloved presintaion afterward those projects I didn't want to do because I do not enjoy giving presintaions or talking infront of large crowds of people. And most class disscusions that we did talk about I don't really remember very well mostly because I was reading a book or remebering something I heard on the news.
This class and another class helped me with some of my computer skills because I keeped learning new things and new websites. When it comes with school work I always get it done because I need to finish school but once or twice I completely forget something but I try to bring it in the next day. I do try to be independent but before I get to that stage I really need a example to start. I don't like to work in groups because I don't like the idea of working with random people or lazy people or people who do all the work. But other than those little problems, I do enjoy group work because most of it is easy or common sense and I also learn new things from the people I work with, like the newest slang and what they mean, what's popular now, and who is dating who. I don't need any of this information but its nice to know.
I manage my time in class pretty well I do some work then take a break then go back to work and keep doing that until class is done. I think that balanceing everything (school, personal life, famliy life) can really be a juggling act.
All the novels we read all ended in a sad way. I know not all stories end well but for every novel to end in the same sad way was kind of annoying. The books had other meanings but I couldn't get past the sad endings. The one and only movie you should us was It's a Wonderful Life and that is my favorite christmas movie (but I love all christmas movies). The play we read was called A Raision in the Sun it was really really really boreing and when we got to the end it felt like the book was missing its end. And when we went on a field trip to see a play losely based on the book that was dull too, but the trip there was fun.
We also talked about something called The Secret which I really think is some ladys' exsuce for life. Which is why I think doing the vision board from the movie/book was my worst assignment because I don't beileve in stuff like that. My favorite assignment was the marshmallow tower because the winner got some marshmallows. I was uselly in class and never late. The flash drives are really great things, if you remember them.
All in all I whouldn't mind taking this class again, which is why I am taking the next level Tech Prep 12. This class isn't that hard if you do the work but if you don't like doing group work you might have a little problem. The teacher , Ms.Aponte, is really nice and almost never abasent so you barly have to worry about subs.
