Nouns Activity - Common & Proper Nouns

SS1 JCCS Academic Language Written Assessment



"Get rich fast" schemes do work. One reason schemes work is because some people are great at their job. Another reason they work is because people are willing to spend money on what they want. When you think about budget cuts, it's mainly people being schemed because of smarter people. Scheme artists are also registering that some people are easy targets. People that make the schemes can also lose money. They can also mess up their credit. We need to notice the money proportions of rich people to help lower class citizens. In conclusion, schemes do work and help people make money.

Portfolio - Improvement

Over the past two years, I have improved my work ethic in classwork and homework my sophonmore year. My writing material is better than before, because of classwork participation. I didn't realize how easy the homework was at this school, but since it was so easy. Since my writing improved, I successfully passed the English CAHSEE. My technology skills are also better than before, I understand how to send links and blog posts. 2-years ago I didn't even know what was Microsoft Windows XP was until now. This school

Portfolio - My Educational Experiences

Due to my educational experiences, I am currently a average student. When I was younger I had bad grades. For example, I had mostly F's. Now that I'm older I know what is required in order to attend a university or a college. I already know adult school is another requirement, because of the grade back in freshman year. I won't need summer school, but I will barely pass biology. I passed the English CAHSEE which is a big accomplishment. Thought I wouldn't pass, but still was close to failing. I need more studying to pass the math CAHSEE, so next year I need tutoring in math. I raised my History grade last week from a D+ to a B.  As I prepare for the rest of high school, I will continue to work hard without assistance.

End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Obstacle

The biggest obstacle for me in highschool is critism from student altheletes in sports. When I was on the basketball team, I had a hard time getting along with the teammates because of them criticising me everyday whether I missed a shot or lay-up at practice. It's stupid how some people think practice is a championship. But there are some players that take basketball seriously, there are more than just one player that does the similar things on any team you go to, understanding that made me want to stay at San Pasqual Academy. It really had an impact on what I am today, always making shots and always making easy lay-ups. The obstacle not only changed me, but made me learn how to deal with stress. Anytime I step on the court to play some pick-up games, I'm always focused even if you have a guy yelling in your face as you make shots. You can elbow me, foul me. If I'm winning, it's a done deal.

JCCS Academic Language Written Assessment Week 38

Should video games be used in school curriculum? Video games should be used in school curriculum because some students will get a better understanding to learn such as movement learners, visual learners, and people who have impaired hearing will have a better chance at reading the material within the video game. History would be a great video game learning experience, and it will also have subtitles. Math would be kind of hard to create because it's mostly used in computer games. I realize school curriculum's use math games and reading games. I'm sure that history games will be the best of all categories.

Personal Changes Blog Paragraph

When I was a freshman, I was getting bad grades. Now, I’m getting good grades. For example, I had three F’s out of the six classes I was taking. I know that I need good grades in school in order to be accepted to college that I want to attend. My Sophomore year was unbelievable, I never thought of getting better grades. That is how much harder I worked this year, every class accept Biology. I failed 1st semester but good thing she divides the grades, so if I get an A this semester I won’t have to attend summer school.
