Dirt on Soil Project




Summary
Newtok is located in Alaska the case is that every year the Ninglick river was eroding away pieces of Newtok every year which was making a big hazard for the people living on it.

Newtok is full of hazards because it has most erosion rates from 36-83 and high permafrost ratings.The averaging of the shoreline caused the main erosion problems. About 68 feet of erosion was calculated near the shore. The high shores on eroding the landscape near the shoreline.

Backward-Looking:
I didn't know much about the topic because my last year we were in sixth grade and we didn't study this then. But we did do a little bit of study before the project. I did know that erosion is the process of little pieces of the earth being blown away. And we had to do a IGNITE presentation and I knew how to make on because I knew we had to have 12 slides which are each 15 seconds and that theres only pictures on the slides.If there are any words there can't be more than a sentence.
Inward-Looking:
What did/do you find frustrating about it? 
I found frustrating that Arjun wouldn't listen to what everyone said he would only say their own opinion and do it with out listening to what the others want on the slide. And another thing that was frustrating was the timing for our slides we wrote to little on our script. I also found frustrating that some of my group didn't pay much attention and put like a entire paragraph in the slide when I said that I heard the teacher say we could only have one sentence.And then we started arguing until the teacher announced there couldn't be any more than one sentence, again. And my partnership was decent I could deal with it.But constantly I would argue with Arjun because he would criticize literally everything I try to do for the project.

Outward-Looking:
Our project was similar to everybody's because we had to make a IGNITE presentation for each group. And this was a "have to" because we were also learning to get the IGNITE presentation technique down we all had to make one.The only reason our project was different was we were all assigned different places and different erosion cases. And every one had to do research on what type of erosion was involved with their case I had permafrost. So basically everyones slide was the same amount of time as mine.

Forward-Looking:

A goal I would set is to take more time out of doing video games at my house and start doing more of my projects and work i didn't do. And I also need to get a planner to set out what to do first than leaving something to the last minute. And I also want to set a goal to take notes in class even if i am not asked to so I can prevent a Zero. And since we have "once a zero always a zero" I can't fix it. And these are my goals to keep me on track without any zeros.
