E-Portfolio Reflection Question Set

1.  Why is this exhibit a good choice for placement in your e-portfolio?
       My element superhero is a good choice to place in my e-portfolio because I believe I worked hard on it and learned many things from making it.  I enjoyed this the most because it was something different and I have never done anything like that in my years of science.  I found it quite exciting because it was creative and we could make our superhero look and act however we wanted based off of the element. 


2.  What did you find most interesting about this exhibit activity and why?
      Creating my superhero I found most interesting throughout the process.  I had never really dealt with anything that involved making heros or ever thought about it.  Also, i didn't even know it was possible to make an online superhero and be creative with its appearance.   I also found out my element, Silver, has the highest electrical conductivity of any element, which I thought was interesting.


3.  In what way(s) did you find this exhibit a challenge to complete? 
      I found that collecting the research of my element's boiling point and melting point more challenging than other parts.  I found a numerous number of different temperatures until I found the correct answers.   


4.  If you were to do this activity again what changes would you make and why?
      If I were to recreate my element superhero then I would probably make my poster more creative.  I could have added silver to it or showed a picture of the element silver.


5.  What change(s) in attitude or behavior helped you to meet the challenge?
      I believe deciding to do mine before it was due and not procrastinate helped me significantly.  I planned not to do it until close to when it was due but realized I would regret procrastinating so I went ahead and did it early.


6.  What grade would you give yourself for these reflections, from “1” to “4”, where “4” is the best? (Refer to the E-Portfolio Reflection Rubric.) Give specific evidence explaining why you gave yourself that grade.
     If I had to give myself a grade, I would most likely give myself a 3.  My answers were personal about my element superhero, but maybe they could be a little more personal.
