Marks!

When a student especially an I.B student like myself, starts screaming in their head when they see the words "marks". By this phrase you can probably guess that, we got back our marks for our super power autobiography assignment today. Most, of the students were actually very dissapointed by the marks and thought that Mr.Arkin is a hard grader, but I feel that he is only being fair since I noticed that he deducted the marks fairly. I was one of the students that got a mark above the average and I was actually surprised at how high my marks were compared to a lot of the other students. I noticed that from our class, the highest mark was a 45 out of 50 which is actually really good since it is 90 percent. So congrats to that student!

A lot of the student were confused about why they got their mark, which is why Mr.Arkin explained to us for the rest of the class, how he marked us and what to look out for when we are making our webpages. There was a lot of criteria he marked us on which now I understand why it took him so long to mark the work. Actually, I made several careless mistakes that I am going to keep in mind and fix for the future. I did fairly good though with my assignment so I am grateful.

Mr.Arkin has warned us before hand that he does not have tests until he hands back our marks and now that he has, he may surprise us with a pop quiz. Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! I am terrible with pop quizes which is why I am starting to study already. Yah! I will not be here tomorrow so I am going to have to check out everyone's blogs to figure out what happened, so everyone stay up to date please!!! I would really appreciate it and so would Grace since she is coming on the trip, too!

For homework we were simply asked to continue our progress with our input assignment, do our daily blog and just start to get ready for the pop quiz. You never know when it will be!!!! Oooooooooo.......
