Anthony

˝Script 1.Introduction: Hi my name is Anthony Bautista and I am in the 6th grade. I am 12 years old and I attend the Boston RenaissanceCharter Public School. The Boston Renaissance School is a great school, it teaches you everything you need to know to move on to the next grade. To me I think Responsibility is the best core value that describes me. Responsibility means to be responsible for yourself, for example, when you take homework home, it’s your responsibility to complete it and take care of it. That is exactly what I do. I am always responsible for my work and I always complete it. This e-portfolio will show my greatest strengths and my best work. Also it will show my hopes and dreams for the future.

2.E.L.A: E.L.A is also known as English Language Arts. In E.L.A we read lots of interesting novels. For example we are currently reading The Outsiders. The Outsiders is a book about two rival gangs called the socs and the greasers. It compares the different lives these two gangs have. The assignment I chose was the first test we took on the book the outsiders. It was given to us on Friday April 13th 2012. We had to remember 10 vocabulary words and their definitions. We had to answer questions based on the book. This assignment was connected to our study of the book The Outsiders. I have learned a lot from this book. I learned how the life of a gang member is. It is cruel sometimes, and it could be hard or difficult to live in. I am proud of this assignment because I scored an 100% on it an also it was kind of difficult to take that test when we just started the book.

====3.Social Studies: Social Studies is a subject on history, world culture, current events, and earth. The assignment I chose for Social Studies is independent work we had to complete, It is based on the Holocaust. The Holocaust is when the Nazi soldiers invaded places and captured jews to send them to concentration camps. They did this for their hatred on jews. Over 6 million jews were killed in this event. This happened during world war II. We were assigned this on October 26th 2011. On this assignment we had to answer questions based on what we think about the holocaust or what we would do in a situation. We had to read 2 passages on the holocaust and answer questions based on what the passage is mainly about. This assignment is connected to the book we read on the holocaust Number the stars. Its similar because it talks how a family helps another family of jews and how they escape the Nazi soldiers. I have learned what hatred can lead up to and why teachers are always saying don't bully or be mean to people, because it can lead up to something as bad as this. I am proud of this assignment because I was able to understand the difficulties and hatred during the holocaust. ====

4.Science: Science is a subject were you learn about the earth like its layers or atmosphere. You learn about matter energy and chemicals too. The assignment I choose for science is the project Daniel my friend and I did together. It is the food web project. We were assigned this project on Janurary 10th 2012. For this project we had to create a food web on what we ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We had to label which foods we producers or consumers too. This assignment was connected to when we learned about a fish's food web. I learned how to create a food web and what a food web shows. I am proud of this assignment because my friend and I put lots of work and effort into this project and we got a perfect score on this.

5.Math:

6.Specialty:

7.MCAS: The MCAS is a test that every student in massachusetts has to take. It shows what you have learned throughout the year. It may also show your progress over the years you have been learning. We take the MCAS to show the progress and to show what we have learned throughout the year. The MCAS can also be a competitive test. Its important because it shows teachers what we need to learn or what we are good at. We prepare very well for the MCAS. Every week we would read at least 3 passages and answer open responses and multiple choice questions. Thats for Ela, in math we would always practice every day on the skills that trick us or get us confused. If you want to pass the MCAS or get a good score you have to put the work and effort. Also no matter how hard something is you have to always try your best.

8.Technology: A technology skill I have learned at the Renaissance is how to type fast. The skill that I am strong at is typing fast. Before I typed very slow. Now I improved and am a fast typer. It's my strongest skill because of the big improvement I made and how i type fast. This can lead you to toward your future because there are many jobs looking for fast typers for their company and there aren't that many fast typers in america. It can lead to my future success in school because what if I had to type a 4 page essay on Christopher Colombus in only 2 days. It would take a fast typer to finish that essay.

9.Citizenship: to be a good citizen means to hear your peers opinions, and to be respectful to others. An experience that i had with the school was that i joined a club named csi. In that club we helped our community and made it a better place. We put recycling bins all around the school and posters to tell people to recycle. We had to tell them or explain to them how not recycling can effect our community. I learned that if everyone puts an effort into something it will come out the way you want it to. We all put an effort and the whole school started recycling. This project made me a better citizen because i was helping my school with its difficulties.

10.Career Goals: I would like to become an engineer after college. I will achieve this career by taking classes on engineering and learning lots of math.I can practice building things in middle school and high school. I want to become an engineer because i always loved cars and building things.

11.My Future: My hopes for the future is to become an NBA player. i want to be the best player in the league when i grow up. Renaissance has prepared me for that with math. Basketball players need to know how to maintain their money also they have to calculate their points per game. That is the average points a player scores per game. Also they had a basketball team which has helped me alot and taught me lots of skills. My plans for after graduation is to attend the Obryant school of math and science. I will never forget the renaissance staff and community. If it wasn't for them i wouldn't be in the position i am in right now.
