Hall+of+Fame

STUDENTS DOING THEIR BEST == The purpose of this page is to recogise students for their achievements and contributions to this wiki or to class activities. I expect you to do your best, and if you do this you will soon have your name recorded on this page! ==

= **2011** = Hannah Nizanthy || Yubo is the first member of the class to gain recognition on this page. He correctly solved the problem and gave me a clear explanation of how Robin can always "read your mind" and state the correct answer. Well done Yubo. (I will also add the names of the next two members of the class who also solve this problem!) || Jason Yubo || Although their oral presentation was not better than other groups, I was impressed by the rubric (table) approach to evaluating the various web sites they evaluated. The information was displayed succinctly and clearly showed the criteria used as a basis for their assessment of each web site. || Hannah Crystal || Yubo again was the first to explain this illusion. (The next two members of the class will also be added!) || Daniel Hannah || This group had the best oral presentation. Key points were put onto a PowerPoint for the audience but the speakers did not simply read from the PowerPoint. They had prepared cue cards and spoke clearly and confidently, elaborating on each of the visual dot points. (Hopefully other groups will follow suit and the quality of oral presentations will improve so that the audience is engaged and not bored.) || Terry Yubo || This recognises the **five** students in the class (minimum of 3 answers each) who have contributed the most answers to this cryptic puzzle. Each of the clues refers to a Victoria town or city. (The whole class will win a prize if together you can solve all 20 answers!) || Daniel Crystal/Hannah || It looks easy but it is more challenging than you may think (even when you have seen the solution). Congratulations to Yubo for sending me a screen shot to demonstrate completion of the challenge and Daniel made a video to demonstrate the solution. (Don't give up because there is satisfaction in completing this challenge without help even if you don't get your name recorded.) || Yubo Nizanthy || This is a logic problem which required clear thinking to work out how many children the man had. I would like to see some new names get added to this list but you will not gain recognition unless you EARN it! (It's time for everyone to put on their thinking caps.) || Yubo MitchellW || Active Aron ate an avocado and an apple as an appetizer after active aerobics at Ararat. All acrobatic albanac alphabetising apes are allowed an apple always after any adventureous ardvark advances. Aldo Alvarez always ate aviolli although Aprehensive Albert ate apples and abandoned Ahmed and Abby Andrew at Anglesea aviation academy aimed at achieving academic acceleration among all aspiring apprentices after approaching Arl Apollo about arresting assailants after assassins aimed at annihilating Arizona Abbey. || Anh Yubo Hannah || It is important to meet work deadlines and to follow instructions. This research project was required to be completed over the term break: only these students were prepared to put in the time, thought and effort to finanlise their projects and upload them to this wiki. I am disappointed that there are so few members of the class on this list! || Yubo Nizanthy || It may seem an impossible question but with logic and clear thinking there is an answer which these students have discovered. || Hannah MitchellC || I was most impressed with these three students who taught themselves how to use this software and spent many hours to create their own Prezi to successfully meet the multimedia requirement in their Viking Research Projects. || Crystal Hannah || Again Yubo was the first member of the class to inform me of the correct answer. The rest of you will have to "lift your games" if you are going to have your name recorded in the MEGA CHALLENGE!!!!! || Crystal Nizanthy || Take a close look at the Hall of Fame. You will see two names appearing regularly. Your challenge is to be able to beat Yubo and Hannah! This is a very tough challenge as you will have to answer a Challenge before either of them ie. it is Yubo + Hannah vs the rest of the class. || Jason MitchellW || It looks like Yubo and Hannah (1) and the rest of the class are still on (0)!!!! Yubo was again first to answer to this problem! Perhaps it was TOO HARD for the rest of you! || Crystal Hannah || 29.3 sec - only Mitchell has a better score than me! (28.1 seconds) WITHOUT CHEATING!!!!!!! 18.1 sec 18.9 sec || Terry || 89.1 metres 39.6 metre My efforts are looking pretty good as no one has yet come close to 113 metres. Don't give up - imagine how it will look if a member of this class can't beat their teacher (without cheating) in a computer game challenge. || Leilani Yubo || Bob was cute and his contour lines were stylish. Clearly he was the best "dressed" spud after our class activity but did not win the award for the ugliest which went to Yubo's spud! || Mitchell W || Nizanthy has taken the opportunity to increase her vocabulary and simultaneously contribute rice to help feed those living in poverty in various other parts of the world. I would like more of you to follow her example. Mitchell has also set his own goal to work towards. || Leilani || Staying organised and keeping an up-to-date is essential if you want to do well in future years and especially VCE. Take a look at the class workbooks for these students and you will see how it should be done. || Hannah || Always volunteer answers and are prepared to offer an opinion or contribution to the class. It is important to be an active participant in each session. || Mitch W Anh Leilani Katie || Gained an A or A+ and demonstrated care, thought and effort when completing written assessment essays. (Note: You might not be an exceptional essay writer but I expect you to always 'do your best'!) || Yubo Leilani || The only three students to attend 100% of Humanities classes during the first semester. || Leilani || The 1965 Freedom Bus Ride prezi and oral presentation to the class was simply OUTSTANDING. It was simply one of the best student reports that I have had the pleasure to witness over a lengthy teaching career. || Crystal || Possible careers as financial consultants. Demonstrated competence in completing Excel spreadsheeting task and explained process to the class. || Anh Yubo || Students say that I don't have a sense of humour but Hannah might disagree as I thoroughly enjoyed reading her CPI project which was a parody of my classes with 9D. I like to see creativity and good, well understood content. Anh movie was simply an outstanding effort! || Hannah Leilani Anh Yubo || I usually only acknowledge three students but the standard of work was so high, and the quality of the work presented exceeded my expectations. These students should be justifiably proud of their efforts. Congratulations. || Yubo Hannah || This recognises the improvement made during this semester. This involves handing work in on time, making every effort to stay up-to-date, quality projects completed and more active participation in class. Congratulations and well done! Of course, there are some students who have continued their outstanding level of effort and productivity from semester one and who are not recognised here. They know who they are and I would also congratulate them!!!! || Yubo Brandon Mitch C Hannah || These students in particular willing participate in class discussions and answer questions asked by your teacher. I expect active participation in my classes rather than students just warming a seat! Make an effort to express your ideas, views and ask questions. Unfortunately many members of this class just class this as "talking" and do not consider it as "work". Learn to listen to other members of your class. Remember (as you should already know!) your teacher does not know everything! Make an effort to both listen and participate and then your teacher won't have to talk as much. Surely this is a win-win situation. || Hoda || Go BOMBERS! || Besides, I am not elligible for this award. ||
