Over the course of the last week, I focused my ISM work on my Winter Showcase Invitation, both portfolios, and my Original Work. I had multiple designs picked out but I wanted to have one that matches my color scheme. While working on my website, I decided to have a city/industrial theme. This helped me decide on what to choose for my invitations. I ended up being very satisfied with draft turnout. While finalizing the draft of my invitation, I created a title page on Canva for my binder portfolio. After making the title page, it motivated me to work on my binder. It was satisfying to go through all the work I have done this year and build my binder. It was difficult at first but after putting everything in order, it made sense and helped me plan for the future on where to put the extra stuff.
For my research assessment this week, I wanted research a topic that would help my Original Work. A type of DNA Fingerprinting I research was restriction fragment length polymorphism. This research assessment was beneficial for my Original Work because it informed me of what kind of preparation I will have to make. This week has been very beneficial to my Original Work. It gave me a big step forward in my Original Work process. I noticed I would help create a schedule for my work over break since I have a lot of going on and want to be on top of my Original Work.

In the past two weeks, I have been mainly focusing towards my Original Work. My Original Work idea is to analyze the different methods of DNA Fingerprinting. I want to do this because I want to create a guide on which process is more efficient for the case at hand. Since I did not know the all the types of DNA Fingerprinting, I picked the most common ones and started to look into each of them. It made me do my Research Assessment on a specific topic of DNA Fingerprinting: Polymerase Reaction Chain.
Along with conducting research for my Original Work, I started to prepare for Winter Showcase. I created a draft of my invitations and had many redos. It was difficult for me to actually pick a template on Canva which resulted in me making numerous invitations. In the end, I ended up picking the best one that matches my color scheme. This week, I also started to look into more contacts to conduct interviews with. My goals have been set for me to achieve before the break and I realized that I need a mentor. In order to have a mentor, you need at least three interviews but so far, I only had two. I am pretty sure I will end up asking Mr. Doke to be my mentor but I have to wait and get an additional interview. Finally, to wrap up the week, I started to look at my speech from early November. The video of my speech showed me all my strengths and weaknesses and how I actually appeared in front of an audience. I was given informative feedback which I truly believe it will help me improve for next time and the video helped me understand exactly what my audience was referring to. A lot of work is piling up but I believe that all our preparation like this speech is guiding us on the right path to success on this ISM journey. |
