Reading and Writing Goal
I am shooting for the stars, blasting into outer space, I want to achieve more! I will write more reading responses using and displaying different skills and claims. I will keep a rubric and self evaluate my reading responses once a week. I also plan to write more stickies. My goal is to stop and jot twice each chapter. By one week after christmas break, I will have a lot more stickies, and I will hopefully have more responses of good quality. My writing goal is to write one free write per week and check using a rubric to see how I am doing especially in the conclusion section. I plan to work on this goal over break. I will work on it up until one week after school starts back and I will have hopefully accomplished my goal by then. I will write my free writes on google docs.
My reading goal progress:
18/12/13
Sadly I have made no progress so far... I plan to work on this goal over the break which will hopefully help my goal.
Only one sticky :(

Reaction Time
Fastest Hand Reaction Time
Problem/Question
Which hand has the fastest reaction time?
Hypothesis
I think that our dominant hands have the fastest reaction time because they are generally better trained and more sensitive. Moving your dominant hand is also easier than moving and using your non-dominant hand.

Fastest Hand Reaction: 27.72
Fastest Hand Average: RIGHT HAND = 34.91
Graph
Conclusion
In conclusion, the results for the fastest hand reaction time have proved my hypothesis correct. I believe that my dominant hand is more sensitive and better trained than my non-dominant hand, and as a result, my dominant hand is stronger and the chance for the reaction time to be shorter, is higher. The overall average for my right hand trials is 34.91, whereas my average for my left hand is 45.34. In all but one trial, my right hand was faster than my left hand. This is more evidence of why generally individuals dominant hands have a shorter reaction time than their non-dominant hand.
