Geometry/Into to Comp. Sci
Geometry
ES1: Constructions and Rigid Motions. Learning Target 1A: I can identify angles, circles,perpendicular lines, parallel lines, line segments, and arcs, and make geometric constructions of them. Learning Target 1B: I can define, identify, and deduce a rule for translations, reflections, and rotations, and a combination of the three rigid motions. Learning Target 1C: I can construct, preserving the properties of the given shape.
ES2: Congruence. Learning Target 2A: I can use rigid motions to show shapes are congruent. Learning Target 2B: I can prove theorems about lines, angles, and triangles. 2C: I can use theorems about lines, angles, and triangles to prove triangle congruence.

Introduction to Computer Science
List of Projects:
- Excel Pie Chart: The first project that we did was the Excel pie chart. What we did was we brainstormed individually about what makes us up. We then put percentages onto the brainstormed ideas, and added them up to 100%. Then we compiled them into Excel, made a pie chart about ourselves, and also put a picture of ourselves on it so we would know who it belonged to.
- Professional Email Entry: This was the second project of the year. We had to learn about how to create a professional email correctly. Then, after we learned about professional emails, we had to make a professional email and send it to David so that he could grade us on how well we know the content.
- Instagram Profile: This was the third project that we did in Introduction to Computer Science. We needed to compile all of the attributes that we listed in the Excel Pie Chart. Also, we could add more attributes that we either forgot about in our Excel Pie or that we didn't have room for in the Excel Pie. My Instagram profile is near the very top of the wall. It is the one that has the heart symbol on it. Click the Instagram Profile button to see what my interests are.
- Weebly Creation: The weebly creation is the project that you are currently on. It is a website that I created myself, and I need to show all of the work that I did in each of my classes for this project. I need to make an about me page, a Math and Comp. Sci. page, a Physics and Engineering page, and an English 9 and Communications page. I also need to put a button for people to email me on.
- Google Sheets: This project was focussing on using and learning Google Sheets. What we would do is we would get a tutorial from David, we would complete it and then we would do the challenge that was specified on the website. Then, later on, we had a quiz that determined if we had learned anything from the tutorials.
- HTLWS: We did readings from a book called How to Lie With Statistics. We studied this book and we encorporated the information in the book for our Ted Talks and the logos in it. We collected data when we created our forums for our Ted Talk. Then we applied what we learned from HTLWS into our charts and pictographs.
Semester 2
- Twine: We made a Twine in Computer Science for the first project of the second semester. My branching systems was called Time Cave. First you need to know what a branching system is. A branching system is basically like a tree. You have one main idea, the trunk, and then you branch off of that, branches, and then you branch off even more until eventually you have the leaves of a tree. My branching system, Time Cave, is a branching system with a lot of choices. It starts off with one choice, branches off into two more, those two each branch off into two more, and so on. As a prelude to the bigger project, we had to make something called a Gliffy. This was just to get a feel for what we were going to talk about in our Twine, even though I didn't use it once. We also had to put HTML in our Twine to make it look pretty, add images, and make the background different. If you want to look at my Twine, please click the button on your left first, download the document, then click on the button on the right, click import from file, and then you can explore my Twine!
- Scratch: We had a survival scenario that we needed to make a game or animation for. We needed to add our face and an artifact, 5 sprites in total, 3 backgrounds in total, and 5 sounds in total, also user-input. I met all of these requirements. Click the button, my scratch, to play my scratch.
