Charlotte Doyle Reflection


  Hello fellow bloggers!  I have to reflect on the Charlotte Doyle project we just worked on.
I must thoughtfully answer the following questions:
1. What was the best part about working on the Charlotte Doyle project?
  Well, I really enjoyed that I (along with 2 others) were the only ones doing the Before and After project.  It made my project really different from the rest, just like me in real life.  I was also surprised myself that I turned down the board game.
2. If you worked alone, what was the most challenging thing about working alone?
If you worked with a partner, what was the most challenging thing about working with a partner?
  I worked alone and it is hard (it's harder when I work with a partner because we argue, but that's beside the point).  It is hard to work alone because you only have someone else's opinion when they are either due for peer review, or need to be handed in.  It is also a lot to hold in your head.
3.  If you worked alone, what was the best thing about working alone?
If you worked with a partner, what was the best thing about working with a partner?
  The best part about working alone is the challenge.  It is hard because there is no partner to turn to, just you.  It makes it a lot more hardcore.  Also there is a microscopic chance of arguing.
4. If you had to do the project over again, what would you do differently?
  I think I would try harder to make the picture better (or more realistic).  Also, I should have added more detail.
5.  What is one thing that you want your teacher to know about your project (that she might not be able to tell by looking at it)?
  This project was really hard for me (even if it stinks).  I'm not great at all at explaining.  Some of the the evidence might not be the exact words.  Be sure to tell me in the comments on the project what I got wrong.



Thank you for your time in reading this.

A Letter to My Friend (A Sailor's Letter)


Dear Spencer,
I am still on this dumb ship.  Why did I ever get on the ship?  The name of the ship is Ocean Eagle.  Remember Scott?  Of course you do.  He was flogged 2 days ago (Day 55).  I slapped the Captain for it.  We started fighting.  He tried to kill me, but I pushed him off the ship.  Pedro is the new Captain.  Now we are feasting on bread, cooked salmon, and stale water.  I threw some over the ship, to pretend like you ate it.  I wish I could be with you right now.  But anyway, I came down with scurvy 2 weeks ago (Day 41).  It was horrible!  It really stinks on this ship.  It kind of smells like fish, mixed with rotting wood.  Jack, a fellow sailor, also has scurvy.  I'm getting over it, and so is he.

From,
Eric
