8th Grade Physical Science Performance Task (Essay)
1. How does this assignment relate to the standard?
There were multiple standards on this assignment such as using a hook to get your reader's attention. The main standard for physical science includes what physical science is and what I've learned about it. I had to show this through an essay where we wrote about physical science and how it applies to our daily life. This essay included an introduction on what physical science is and 3 body paragraphs explaining standards in physical science and how it applies to real life. Then, finally, we had the conclusion.
2. What are the steps you took to compete and do well on this assignment?
3. This assignment demonstrates the following strengths...

4. I could have improved my work on this assignment by...
I could have improved my work on this assignment by trying harder on the presentation. When I presented I barely used my flash cards and forgot what I was talking about half the time. I also forgot the whole conclusion. However, I can improve by doing better in the SLC by learning from my mistakes.
5. How will you apply the skills you learned from this assignment in either the real world when you are an adult or in other classes while you are still a student?
