9th Grade

Teacher: Mr. Dalley

Project Objective:

This project is all about you!  It is never too early, or too late, to take a deep dive into what makes you function as a human being.  Self-reflection is the ability to witness and evaluate our own cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes.  Throughout this project we will engage in self-reflection by evaluating the people, behaviors, and goals that are near and dear to your heart.  Using this reflective information, we will create a personal mission statement that describes the very essence of who you are.

Deliverables:

The goal of this project is to introduce the freshmen class to our community.  We will achieve this goal by each creating a polished Personal Mission Statement, a visual Personal Logo, and put them together as a public piece of work.  The math behind this is all focused on graphing functions (linear, quadratic, exponential, and circles) as we learn how to put our logo on a coordinate grid and reproduce it with equations.
