Water Portfolio Analysis

Decent Essays
What I thought about the water portfolio that we did for our science unit was that it was a good way to teach us about this unit. Despite the fact that I would prefer to have tests, quizzes and more textbook work, I do find that this water portfolio assignment is still an effective way to teach students. It was enjoyable to work on the water portfolio and to experience a new way of learning rather than the common way of it being mainly textbook based and with more tests and quizzes. Additionally, creating a water portfolio was less work and more enjoyable than having to study each lesson for hours and to prepare for tests and quizzes. I find that the water portfolio was an easier and faster way to get through the unit and it may have conveyed

    Due to the hundreds of articles available on the Flint Water Crisis, I chose this one article because it broke down the timeline of events and included links to various documentation and articles. I believe that this author is credible because they used official documents to provide the timeline. To summarize the article or situation; to save money, the state switched Flints water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River. The Flint River is polluted due to the industrial complexes, landfills, and farms loaded with pesticides and fertilizer that sit along the rivers watershed.

    According to David Foster Wallace, our default setting is the way we perceive the world and our attitude towards our everyday life. The definition of default setting by Wallace is our self-centeredness perspective that we are born with from childhood all throughout death. As he said, “There is no experience you have had that you are not the absolute center of.” Wallace speaks of our default setting as a negative way of looking at the world and how we shouldn't look at it like that even though it is deep within our conscious and humans involuntarily use that kind of philosophy to live with throughout their lives. He also speaks of altering that hardwired type of thought and separating from it so we may be able to perceive and examine events…

    My experience in J.P. Elder Middle School was very interesting. The first thing that made an impression on me was how the teacher talked to the students. His tone of voice was very strict and loud, but he was trying to be as helpful as he could. I feel as if he was trying to make sure they understood while making sure they kept their attention on him. But the result of the loud voice hurt my ears, and it almost made me want to zone out.…
