Justin's Trial Reflection.

Justin’s Trial Reflection.

One of my strengths in the trial was my opening statement. I think it was strong enough to persuade the jury to prove that jack was innocent. I think I used the main points, and got to the point and was concise. The details were important because they helped us when the case, and I was also very clear and loud. This is important because the jury heard loud and clear what I was doing. This was important because I met what I was supposed to do. And even though I didn’t talk a lot, my parts were important. I think I deserve a b+ because I didn’t talk that much, but my parts were good.

Reflection for Short Story

Title: Abducted Toys
Author: Justin H.
Genre: Science-Fiction
Pages-7
Mentor Texts: I am Legend, Independence Day
Audiences: All Audiences I think that this will apply to all audiences because it has violence, but not a lot. I think that maybe it could be 10+ because of the minor violence. But overall, it will be a story for any generation.

Writing Process: I used peer draft editing with Andy L, Jose A, also my sister, and mother revised it to help me understand key changes that I needed to make to it. I also made several changes and drafts and my teacher Ms. Staff helped revise it.

Publishing Process: I am planning to make a cover for my draft. And also bind it using the store of Staples or my school. I think that in the end it will turn out fine and look nice when it is all binded.

Pay it forward 3

The last thing that I did that I helped my elderly neighbor carry in her groceries. She was a little mad because she said that she could do it herself. But she had dropped the watermelon all over her floor. I also helped her clean it up, it was funny because it was everywhere. In the end she was content with me helping and asked me to come back to help me later.

Pay it forward 2

The second thing I did was I cleaned my neighbor's backyard, and this proved efficient because I mowed his lawn, and he was really happy, he even offered me money. But I refused the money because I told him that I was paying it forward, he kept offering the money so I just left. It went unexpected because I did not want the money, he also did not know that I was mowing the lawn so I got in trouble.

Pay it forward

The first thing I did is I gave my bike to my neighbor who is less fortunate then me because he had no transportation and could not get to school. I think this was a great opportunity for him because he can get to and from a lot easier then he normally could, and he could also make it to school on time. Since his parents can't drive him. This will also be good for him because he wanted a bike very badly to ride around, overall it went well.

Justin H's Ideas


I was thinking that I could do my project on Global Warming. Also maybe taking care of my bedridden grandmother because she cannot move, this means making her food, stretching her out, and giving her her pills. Also maybe donating a bike to less fortunate people.
