Peer Assessment (Mohammed)
This wikispace needs to get many improvements. This is because the wikispace is mostly blank and there isnt that much information posted on it. There should have been at least a background color and different font at this stage. The wikispace should get edited and have more information added. The wikispace doesnt really include information about himself. It only has the rubric which we had done in the beginning of IT classes. This shows that the wikispace planning is not that active, and should be done more often. I think he should improve his portfolio by trying to add in more information every IT class so that it helps him success, and complete his digital portfolio. As I can see, the portfolio does not have that many strengths, but it has too many weaknesses. The weaknesses it has is that it is way too empty. He needs to at least add more personal information about himself so that the person viewing the portfolio will know whos portfolio it is. The portfolio looks as if it hasnt been accessed for many days. He should also try and add in a video about himself which we have been working on for several weeks. He should also at least add in a design to his digital portfolio so that it doesnt look boring. He can maybe change the color of his font so that the portfolio looks more attractive to view rather than boring and very plain. These are some suggestions that may be helpful for him in the future when he tries to improve his digital portfolio.

Drama Reflection
What? - Describe what the work is about. For example, this presentation is about a country and the requirement was .......Make sure you talk about what was expected for this work and what time it took you to complete it. Was it a group project? What input did others have to this work?
In drama, we were given a task to get in a group and perform a melodrama. Most of our groups were chosen, however the teacher made sure that we were with one of our friends. In this project we all had to think of a good script of a melodramtic play that we could easily perform. In the play, there had to be a heroine, hero, villain, and rogue. We also added in a mother since we had 5 people in our group. The play had to be about a crime that the villain does, and then at the end the rogue is the saver. Our play was basically about how the hero and heroine are falling in love and then their marriage is about to occur, but then the villain messes things up. In our play, the villain kills the mother and then blames it all on the hero so that at the end he could get married with the heroine. The rogue at the end then saves the show, and the truth gets confessed at the end. We were lucky because we had one of the best groups. All of us were very hard workers and didn't argue like the others. We were given about 2 weeks to rehearse for the melodrama, and then later on we had to perform our final.
So what? - Now talk about why this piece of work is significant. Is it something you are proud of? Is it something you received a high grade for? Is it something developmental that helped you reach a new level in the subject? In other words why have you chosen THIS artifact for your portfolio?
This piece of work is significant because it is quite unique. I learned many new things from this unit about being melodramatic, and more things about drama in general as well. It was very fun to work on this project because I was in a group that had some of my friends in it, and the others were fun and cooperative to work with as well. This helped me reach a new goal in the subject because of the fact that a lot of new information was learned. I even became a better person when it comes to working in groups. I have chosen this artifact for my portfolio because it is different from the others, and isnt boring like them. It is an original script written by us that anyone can enjoy.
Now what? - Now talk about how doing this work has improved you as a learner in the MYP program. Has it helped you organise your time and work efficiently? Has it demonstrated that you are capable of doing mathematics and so now you have a lot more confidecne than before? What are you now going to do with the new knowledge and skills you have gained from doing this work? How is this moving you along the path of life?
This project has definitly made me a better learner in the MYP program. This is because I got a lot of new skills from this project, such as speaking up loudly when presenting something in front of a group of people, which in this case was my class. It has also given me more confidence because I now know that I can perform in front of large groups of people since now that I am better experienced at it. It also has helped me organize my work more efficiently because throughout the rehearsals, we did not mess up a bit. We were always organized and made sure that we focused on a couple of scenes each day rather than doing all of them at once. This is moving me along the path of life because I feel more like an organized person now. It has also helped me to become timely with my work, and aware of the deadlines.

Math Reflection
What? - Describe what the work is about. For example, this presentation is about a country and the requirement was .......Make sure you talk about what was expected for this work and what time it took you to complete it. Was it a group project? What input did others have to this work?
The task we had to do in Mathematics during the second term was a reflection on geometric proof. In this reflection, we were given a problem, which we had to solve. After we solved this problem our task was to reflect on the answer that we got. We had to basically prove that a triangle was a right angled triangle. This was not a group project, it was an individual task which we had to do ourselves over the weekend. The questions we had to answer when we were reflecting was based on what answer we got, how we got it, what other methods there were, and what technology could have been used. We also had to justify our thinkings and reasonings with many different examples and detail. After reflecting, we then had to evaluate our work. In the evaluation section, we had to discuss why we thought our answer was correct, and the significance of the method we used. We had to make sure that our answers were fully explained and in well detail.
So what? - Now talk about why this piece of work is significant. Is it something you are proud of? Is it something you received a high grade for? Is it something developmental that helped you reach a new level in the subject? In other words why have you chosen THIS artifact for your portfolio?
This piece of work is very significant because I received the highest marks possible on it, and I was very proud of it. Math is actually one of my weakest subjects, even though it is one of my favorite. I was surprised that I received full marks on this reflection. I was very happy with it as well, because I put in a lot of effort and time into it in order to make it perfect. It helped me reach a new level because I now have better skills when writing up reflections for math. I am able to explain and develop methods fully. I have chosen this artifact for my portfolio because it is one of my best grades in maths and I thought it wouldve been a good project to include in my wikispace.

Completing this task has improved me as a learner in MYP because of the fact that it improved my math skills. After this project, I was able to think of more methods of solving problems in geometry. It helped me organize my work and time efficiently because I worked very hard and made sure that I paid attention to areas that I didnt understand. I made sure that I spent more time doing those areas rather than the ones that I already knew how to do. It has also given me more confidence in this subject because I now know that nothing is impossible. I was able to solve a difficult task and receive full marks on it.

Humanities Reflection
What? - Describe what the work is about. For example, this presentation is about a country and the requirement was .......Make sure you talk about what was expected for this work and what time it took you to complete it. Was it a group project? What input did others have to this work?
One project I did in Humanities that I liked the most was during the second term which was a powerpoint. The power point presentation was basically about a country that was randomly selected by our teacher for us. In my case, I got the country Saudi Arabia. Our requirement was to make up a slide show with at least 10 slide showing political, social, and economical factors of the country. We were required to do a great research for this project so that we could have been able to complete the task, because without research we couldn't really get the information for our power point from anywhere else. This was not a group project it was independent. However, one of my friends had the same country as me which was Saudi Arabia so we helped each other out a bit. We were given about 1 week to complete this whole project, including class time. I put in a lot of effort to this project which is why I received full marks.
So what? - Now talk about why this piece of work is significant. Is it something you are proud of? Is it something you received a high grade for? Is it something developmental that helped you reach a new level in the subject? In other words why have you chosen THIS artifact for your portfolio?
This piece of work is quite significant because of the fact that there is a lot of effort that has been put into it. I worked very hard on it and I am also very proud of it because I received the highest marks possible. I also learned a lot of new information from this research project. This is because Saudi Arabia was a country that I had never learned about. This project gave me an oppurtunity to learn many new things about the country. It taught me about their religion, government, people etc. I have chosen this particular artifact for my portfolio because of the fact that it is one of the best projects that I have done in humanities. There are more essays and projects that I have done and received good marks on, however this is one of my best ones.

What are you now going to do with the new knowledge and skills you have gained from doing this work? How is this moving you along the path of life?
This particular piece of work has improved me as a learner in the MYP program because I now learned a new way of putting together work. We used the power point program, and I learned how to use it in a better way since we dont really use it in another subjects. It has helped me organize my time efficiently because everyday I focused on a certain slide that I had to work on. Since we were given a week to complete this task, I made sure that I focused on about2 slides every day because we were only required to do 10 slides for this project. It also helped me organize my work in a better way because I demonstrated it in an organized way. I have gained many skills from this project and I will make sure that I use it later on in life. I have learned how to be timely with my work and organized as well. These things are very important and I will need them later on.
