The Frayer Model helps me understand the words I had trouble, because it makes me write down the definition and write a sentence with each one of them. Writing down the sentence and definition helps me focus on what the word means. It also helps me draw an image on the paper so I can see the word as a picture. And it also lets me make an antonym so I can see the word as something else.

Five things that were the same with PJ/Newsletter &  PJ /PPT:
1 We had information about the trip
2 We planned the trip and placed it in them
3 We figured out the time, how much money and what places
4 We can tell how much the places and hotels cost
5 We can create a schedule.

3 things that were different PJ/Newsletter
1 Process Journal held information on paper.
2 Newsletter held the time, place and date.
3 Process Journal held the steps we're going to do.

3 things that were different PJ/PPT
1 Powerpoint held more information
2 PJ was written on paper

Reflection

This video makes me feel sad and grateful. Sad, because it makes me think of all the people who have died in wars. Also because I've known some friends and family members who have also died. And grateful, because not many people like the veterans get to see their family, so I should be happy that I do, and I should be happy to be alive. Those veterans risk there lives to protect the country and its people.

Frayer Model

The Frayer Model that the teacher gave us helps me understand the words that I have missed.
The model helped me use the words in sentences. And it also helped me see them as other words, but they wean the same. So now I can use other words instead of the vocabulary words. These are some of the ways the Frayer Model has helped me.
