This is my PowerPoint Presentation on the Greek god of War, Ares. I learned about his patron city, his symbols, and his siblings and parents. But most importantly I learned about his personality traits. I learned to go beyond the facts that are given and understand what those facts mean. Also, I learned to know what those facts meant about him. Now I know that just because the person isn’t real or the monument can’t have emotions, the facts that are shown prove more about the topic. It shows about why that thing was made or what it represents. I now understand the traits that come from the facts.

 This is my wikispace on the book, __The Giver.__ Each week my group members and I had different tasks related to the book. One task would be leading the discussions that we had every day during class. Another might have been clarifying the words the group was unfamiliar about. The most beneficial things for me to do and observe where the personal reactions. Each week we had to post a part of the book in which we agreed or disagreed with. This helped me because it let me release out my emotions of the book that I wanted to release. I felt that when I gave my reactions, I could freely explain and think about the text. I think it also helped the group because it showed the different kind of comprehensions skills that we have. Someone might comprehend a certain topic as a positive topic but another member might see it as a negative one. The personal reactions and the web page in general was a very good way to have a discussion and a productive way to understand texts. Click the picture to go to the web page!
