Daniel


 * 1) Introduction

My name is Daniel Tazele and I’m a sixth grader at BRCPS. I’m a smart, athletic person, and I love sports. The grades at Boston Renaissance Charter Public School are K1-6th grade. The school has great teachers. I do all my work and respect all students and teachers. A core value that defines me is Integrity, and Integrity means honesty. The reason why Integrity defines me is because I am very honest to everyone. If I did something bad I would tell the truth instead of lying. This EPortfolio will show that I am a smart person.

2.ELA

ELA is English Language Arts. Something that we study in ELA is Vocabulary. We do this every Monday. The words we study are the words that are in the book were reading. the assignment I chose was assigned in March. The assignment was a test. I had to define a simile, metaphor, alliteration, personification, and a hyperbole. I had to answer multiple choice questions. And I had to write 4 examples of figurative language. I learned what hyperbole and alliteration are in this assignment. A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement. Alliteration is when a letter or sound is repeated. We were learning this because based on our ANET scores, our class didn't do well on it. I'm proud of this test because I got 101%.

3. Social Studies

Social Studies is when we learn about things that are happening around the world and things that happened a long time ago, like the holocaust. The assignment i chose was center work about World war II. This was assigned in October. In this assignment, I had to answer questions about world war II, vocabulary and the holocaust. This assignment was connected to the book Number The Stars that we were reading in class. something I learned from this assignment was the World War II facts, like the leaders of the U.S. and Germany, which were Theodore Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler. I'm proud of this assignment because I got every question correct.

4. Science

Science is when we study things like the Weather Fronts, Ecosystems, and other things. The assignment I chose was about Food webs. We had partners in this project and I chose my friend Anthony. In this assignment we had to write what we ate for the day and wrote what it comes from. like if it was pepperoni pizza, you would draw a pig. We had to draw a line connected to the food, where it comes from, and what eats it. So for an example, If I'ts a sandwich, you would draw bread, then a line connecting it to wheat, then a line connecting it to an animal that etas wheat. This assignment was connected to learning about producers and consumers. From this project, I learned some things that animal eat. I'm proud of this project because I got a really good grade on it.

5. Math

Math is a subject when we learn things like geometry, area, and other types of things. The assignment I chose was about variables. It was assigned in the 2nd trimester. In this assignment I had to find what the variable was or solve the equations. For an example, 15r = 120. R stands for 8 because 15 multiplied by 8 equals 120. This assignment was connected to learning how to Solving Multiplication and Division Equations. I'm proud of this assignment because I worked hard on it and got a lot right.

6. Specialty

In art class, we draw things like A Street, a hill, and sometimes just free draw. The assignment I chose was the circle characters project. This project was assigned in the 2nd trimester. In this assignment we had to draw circle characters, and put them on the green screen. When they were on the green screen, we had to move them and make them do something. This project was connected to taking pictures of your characters on the green screen. In this assignment I learned how to use the green screen. i'm proud of this assignment because we saw the movie and it looked cool and funny.

7. MCAS

The MCAS is a test that the whole grade takes during the year. We take the MCAS because they want to see what we've learned during the whole year. It's an important test because the schools that you apply to look at how you did on the test and if you did well theres a good chance that you can get accepted to that school. To prepare for the MCAS I make sure I understand everything my teacher teaches me. My advice To all the future 6th graders in BRCPS, make sure you use all your strategies and take your time on the MCAS.

8. Technology

Some technology skills i've learned at BRCPS is how to type fast, how to do an IMovie, and how to do a powerpoint. The skill I'm strongest at is typing fast. This skill takes a lot of practice because if you want to be a good typer, you're going to have to practice a lot. Typing fast is when you type fast while looking at the computer. It's my strongest skill because I type 38 words per minute. This can lead to future success because if I have to type up a paper in college, I can do it faster.

9. Citizenship

To me, a good citizen makes sure he does everything he can to help his community. When I was in 5th grade, I was a part of Starfish, and one day we went outside of the school and picked up any trash from the ground. One person was suppose to pick up at least 5 things. From this assignment I learned how to be a good citizen and how to help my community. This can help me become a better citizen because I can tell people what we did and that person could do it to.

10. Career Goals

The career I would like to have is to be a professional Basketball player. To achieve being a basketball player, I would have to practice a whole lot when I have free time. In middle school, I could tryout for the basketball team and that will help me get better. I could do the same thing in high school, and if I'm that good, colleges could offer me scholarships. In college, I'll be on the basketball team. Then after I will get drafted to the NBA and be A professional basketball player.

11. My Future

My hopes and dreams for the future is to do excellent at either Boston Latin Academy or CCSC. The Renaissance has prepared me for my future by teaching me all the things I need to know in order to move on to a different school. My plans after graduation is to have fun for the last couple of days and enjoy my summer. But also make sure I do all of my vacation homework and work hard on it.
