6b had a new, very exciting assignment assigned to them during the last month or two. The project was to choose a volcano from anywhere in the world, and research every possible detail about it. I, Alex, was in a group with Irina and Sofia. My group was working on the Philippines. We concentrated on 3 main volcanoes: Mayon,Taal and Pinatubo. In class, the teacher told us that we should pick a topic to research about for the volcano. The first thing my group ever did thought, was just research basic facts for example the height,location and some eruptions. I presented on the 08 of March 2011. For our presentation,we did get some extra days thought because our whole group was sick for some time. This is my reflection over my presentation, my opinion and answers to questions.
How do you think you did?
During my presentation, I think I did pretty well because I was able to explain everything and didn't have to read off the board. I had a power point and what I think I did good, was that I only had bullet points, so I knew what to say.
Was your presentation missing anything??
I think my presentation wasn't missing too much because I had pictures, information, but I didn't really include my bibliography. I did use some sites, and I should have also included where I got my pictures from. Maybe next time I could include some videos from my volcano erupting.
What grade do you think you should get?Why?
In my opinion I think I should get a 4 or 5. Not a six because I don't think I had too much information. I did include pictures, and I was able to explain why I choose them and what they represent so that is a positive thing. I don't think I put my 100% effort into this project,because I kind of left it to the last moment. But I don't think I did bad.
What did you learn about during "Volcanoes"?
I learned how volcanoes explode, why they explode, how they affect people and I learned about other volcanoes. Before I didn't know why people live next to volcanoes. But mostly, I think I learned that all volcanoes are different, and are made because of different reasons.
How do volcanoes affect people who leave near them?
When a volcano explodes, it releases some gasses that can affect the lungs or breathing of a person. In some cases, if the ashes are really bad, they can turn a person into stone. Volcanoes also affect people by the fertile soil next to them, and also people have more opportunities if they live closer. Its more dangerous if you live close to an active volcano because you never know when they will explode. So after all, living close to a volcano has its benefits and its bad things.
How do volanoes affect the world?
Just like volcanoes affect people, they of course affect the world. They might pollute the environment, and destroy physical features. They also make some people become panicked and they can be very dangerous. A volcanoes eruption can be made by an earthquake, so it has some type of connection to earthquakes and other disasters. SO as you can see, volcanoes affect the environment around them, and can change people lives.
