What I'm most proud of my senior project was all of the research I collected. Throughout my senior year I researched a lot because my topic was something I wasn't familiar with, autism. I knew nothing about autism and now I can say that because of my senior year I know everything there is to know about pervasive developmental disorders. I'm glad I went with autism for my senior project. I'm also most proud of the way I presented. I feel like I referenced so much of my resources and that went great.
The assessment I would give myself for my block presentation would be a solid P. The reason for that is because I met all of the requirements there were to get a P. I also referenced a lot of my research so I feel like that helped me out a lot. I spoke a bit too fast in some parts but I feel like my sources were so great that everything was fine and also the fact that I went over my 30 mins research content.
The assessment I would give myself for my senior project would be an AE. The reason for that was because I was always on task when it came to everything. I also always had extra articles every week and I went over my research count all the time. When it came to deadlines with my senior project, I was always on time in turning in everything.
What worked for me in my senior project was my mentor, Dr. Elaine Chen. She helped me so much throughout the whole project. She always answered the questions I had for her. She was also a great interviewee. She helped me with my essential question and my answers. Other than her being an awesome doctor, she was an awesome mentor.
The one thing I could say that didn't work for me was coming up with my third answer. It got complicated because Mrs. Yelverton wanted me to talk about coping but it wasn't really something I wanted to go into but after researching into it I realized that it would be a great answer and it turned out to be right.
My senior project has been helpful for my future for many reasons. One reason for that is because I was able to volunteer at Sunshine Pediatrics for my hours. Another reason is because I shadowed with my mentor, Dr. Chen, so many times and that got me to learning new things that I didn't know about. I've always wanted to be a pediatrician ever since I was twelve and my senior project experience didn't change that but pushed me more into becoming a pediatrician.

Blog 16: Answer 2
1. What is your EQ?
What is the most prevalent concern about autism in children?
2. What is your first answer?
Defected genes which contribute to the development and growth of the brain have been suspected to cause autism.
3. What is your second answer?
2. What is your first answer?
Defected genes which contribute to the development and growth of the brain have been suspected to cause autism.
3. What is your second answer?
The MMR vaccine poses far worse harmful effects than expected beneficial ones such as the development of autism.
4. List three reasons your answer is true with a
real-world application for each.
- After
receiving the MMR vaccine, a child starts to begin symptoms of autism.
- A small study of bowel disease and autism was published by
Wakefield in 1998.
- Jenny McCarthy went on Oprah to say she
believes that a vaccination caused her son's autism and wrote a book about
it
5. What printed source best supports your answer?
This website talks about reasons why it doesn't cause autism but also talks about Jenny McCarthy saying her son received autism because of a vaccine.

6. What other source supports your answer?
This is a great source because it strongly states everything you need to know about the MMR vaccine and how it absolutely does not cause autism.

7. Tie this together with a concluding thought.
I need to talk to my house teacher about how my answers are going to be because I know that as of right now, nothing causes autism but I have "theories" that could be the reason for autism so then I’m thinking my third answer could be how there is no cause for autism and that would be my best answer. I'm really conflicted on this and will talk to my house teacher, but I will conclude my answer with the MMR vaccine and autism.

Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection
1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
I'm most proud of my hook activity in me Lesson 2 Presentation because I feel like it caught the attention of my audience. It got them hooked on to my topic wanting to know more about autism. I also showed a 2 min video that explained more about my hook activity.
2. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
I believe that I deserve a P on my Lesson 2 Presentation because I met all of the requirements for under a P consideration. My powerpoint was a lot about my research. I knew everything I had to talk about and referenced a lot of my research. I also had an activity that went well with my topic. For these many reasons I honestly think I deserve a P.
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
What worked for me in my lesson was that I had a lot of research to base my essential question and my answer on. Autism is a really huge thing and a disorder that's really common so researching was not so hard to do. I think that's what helped me reference a lot of my research.
4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
I think what didn't work for my lesson plan was the time I had to speak because autism is really long to explain and so much to discuss about, I think if I had more time then my presentation would run smoother. I guess the thing I could do to improve this is to cut some parts off on my topic.
5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
I think my answer will be about the link of vaccines causing autism, but that's obviously not true so I don't know if i'm going to have it as an answer then explain why it isn't true or just not have that as an answer.

Blog 9: Lesson 1 Reflection
1. What I'm most proud of in my lesson 1 presentation was that I didn't rely on any technology throughout presenting. I went up there and presented everything I knew and discovered because of the research checks we have a week. I felt like I talked about everything I could under the 10 minutes we had. My favorite part of my presentation was my hook activity because I'm so amused by this little girl name Iris Grace. I'm amused of the art she can paint for the age she has. I feel like I did really good on presenting my topic and essential question.
2. The assessment I would give myself would be a solid P. The reason why I think so is because I did everything that was required. My stores and events was backed up with references from my research. I also broke down my essential questions into three different parts (autism, vaccines and links.) I had great stories that I told throughout my presentation. I also met the time requirement. I wouldn't give myself an AE because I don't believe I went above and beyond and the reason for that was because I only did what was required for the P requirement.
3. What worked for me in my lesson 1 presentation was how I broke down my essential question. I feel like the way I broke it down helped me a lot with reaching my time minimum. My essential question is "What is the link between vaccines and autism in children?" I broke it down by first talking about my topic, pediatrics, then I talked about autism then vaccines and then to my conclusion, the links; which is not true because there are no links between vaccines and autism whatsoever. What I think also worked was the way my presentation flowed. I feel like I said everything I needed to say for the class to understand my topic, my essential question and my answers.
4. I can't really say nothing "didn't work" because I met my time and did not go over 10 minutes. I know that when I present I tend to talk really fast; that's one thing I would like to change. Now that I feel more confident talking about my topic to the class I feel more prepared for lesson 2 presentation. The reason why I talk too fast is because I feel anxiety and want to talk about my topic all at once but I know now that all I need to do is slow down and feel calm; and if I keep telling myself that then I'll do better for the next time.
