Trial peformance

My strengths are that when I get up I don't get nervous. My challenges were that I only went up once and i did not play a significant role in prosecution.

Before the trial I did not communicate with my group very much but really just listened to my groups conversation. So i really didn't interact so I really wasn't a significant part.

This information means I sometimes don't follow with my groups and I sometimes don't know whats going on when something happens.

So when I work in groups I sometimes don't get along with their idea's. So I don't think I deserve a great grade but i deserve a decent grade like a B.

Publishing Project

Title:Black lotus

Author:Alexander Arce

Genre:Fantasy/Action

Pages:3

Mentor Texts: I have watched several movies but one caught my eye. It was strange and had to do with a plant of life and death but then I thought, what if I twisted the movie a lot and
made my story about that and so then day in and day out I thought how I would change the movie so it could be my own original book. Then it came to me, A evil flower that gave you plant powers. I thought of a storyline that could revolve around that concept then it hit me. An evil guy who uses that power for his own desire of revenge. That's how i came up with this story.

Audience: It was really meant for anybody who wanted to keep it or for my class library.

Writing Process: During my writing i never put many paragraphs so sometimes i would have a paragraph that's about 9-10 sentences and it was kinda short because i made everything pass way too fast.

Publishing Process: I just did it simple I just printed the pages and stapled them together.
