Reflection

1. P
Why? cause i did all that was required i met the talking time and had interactive activitys that engaged the class, i also decorated the room.
2. i am most proud of my room how it looked and my powerpoint was pretty good too.
3. i think i did well on the speaking in the 2hr the creative expression because they were both good the ramp was well made and i spoke with clarity.
4.My eq is whats most important to becoming a better skateboarder? and my best answer is style cause style affects everything in skateboarding from skill level to the people you skate with even sponsorships.
5. my answers havnt really changed since my interview with cody cause he explained them with such enthusiasm that i knew he knew what he was talking about so i just kinda stuck with it and researched those answers.
6. one suggestion is to stop making us do these blogs.
7. ap
because i turned in some componants late but i still did them meaning i deserve not full credit but and ap would be sufficient.

2hr rough draft

My sponge activity is the one we dicussed about the ramp and having
people drop in.                         
My eq is what is most important to becoming a better skateboarder important is what is most
needed.   


Becoming means to become.            


Better means more tricks. 


Style and is how smooth you are while skating.   


My foundation i will
give a brief history of skating and maybe how i got into it
                            
My first answer is style and you know what style is and my activity is probaly gonna be teaching them what
good style is and having videos of different styles and have them tell
which style is good.                                      


My second answer is balence and my activity is gonna be having them skate and
learn how to balence while riding and what stance they are.
                        
My third answer is gear and ima tell them
what the diffrent types sof gear and shoes and stuff aqnd have them
assemble and deasemble a skateboard.


Conclusion  my 3 best sources are cody my servicelearning the mutt how
too skateboard and not kill yourself and the research folder i have
from all those webarticles.      


Style is my best answer cause you need
good style to be good at skateboarding.
   
My product is im a better skatboarder i know more tricks my
style has improved i know more skaters and i know how to ride more
fluid like.

A: I Kevin Baker affirm that i completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
B: i built a mini kicker slash tranny vurt ramp.
Interpretive:
This is 30 hours of work because its long and tedious work making a ramp because all the measurements have to be perfect and everything must be put together perfectly or else the ramp could be dangerous. so it took me awhile to get the materials and to measure everything and to cut the wood.
Applied:

This ramp allows me to skate more vurt which allows me a better understanding and better skill at skating vurt which used to be the biggest thing in skateboarding.

Literal:
I Kevin Baker, affirm that i completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
What I completed was a better understanding of skateboarding as a whole as well as improving my tricks and gaining new tricks. I also perfected some of my tricks so I can take them off stairs and such.
Interpretive:
Skating for 30 hours, basically practicing the entire time, improves me overall as a skater what represents their skating level is the time they put into skating and their skill level, which i both improved while skating.
It helped me answer my EQ for a couple reasons, first after skating for such a long time i can see that a persons style makes up a lot of what they skate how they do tricks how good they are and what kind of tricks they will start doing. Also i realized that the gear your wearing really makes a big difference that everyone has a different preference for skating shoes and board that not all of them are the same, and that you can only improve by practicing more.
