  2. I believe I will do great on my research paper.
    I will achieve success in that part of the project. Also,I believe I will struggle doing the monologue because I never wrote one before.I'm going to be nervous to act out a scene in front of everyone .

  3. One aspect of the hero project that I believe I will achieve is the research paper. I’m kind of familiar with this but not all the way. I have done one before but not five pages long. I know I can achieve it because I have I have pushed my self to do response to literature for humanities class.

    I believe that I will struggle in the part of the monologue. I am not used to playing as someone else. But I know I need the grade. I will have to push myself to do it. I am not used to getting up in front of a large group of people and talking. Also I will struggle on getting the artwork together because I am not a big fan of art.

  4. The aspect I will achieve on in my hero project is the parts were I have to play my character and tell the story at the same time. This is going to be difficult because I don’t know much about the hero I have so I have to do a lot of research. In addition I don’t like to get on stage and act because I am not very good at it.

    The part of the hero project that I am going to struggle on is the five-page research paper. The reason I am going to struggle on the five-page research paper is because I have never composed one or experiences some one composing one.

  5. The Hero that I'm doing is Joe "Brown Bomer" Louis. I think that this famous person will be good because he is a great Heavy Weight Champion, I think that I would be very interested in him.
    Doing this Hero project might be really tough but I'll do my best to make a success. I know that I will do my best stay focus and double check everything. Now that we are doing the Hero's project I think that, I should start paying attention, no goofing off,following directions, and more.

  6. I believe I will do great on my research paper.
    I will do well of this part of the project. I would struggle to the monologue because it will be hard for me and I will be very nervous in front of all the 8th grade.

  7. One aspect that my group has is the help integrate buses. Most of the people in Freedom riders were from college. The would ride the buses for a long trip just to help the cause. Most of the Freedom Riders were scared to do it but they were strong. They saw what happened on the buses but they still did it.

    One part of the Hero project I will struggle on is the presentation on stage. It will be very hard to do it in front of the hole eighth grade and then some. I am not use to presenting on stage . I will most likely get scared and probably freak out. That is going to the hardest part for me.

  8. 1. The aspect I believe I will achieve is the monologue. I like politics and my character was the first female to be apart of politics. It will be kind of hard to stay in character because I didn’t know what the era was like when Jeannette Rankin was alive. I don’t want to mess up and people will laugh at me, but I don’t think they will.

    2. I believe I will struggle on the research paper. I never wrote a research paper and I never wrote a paper that was five pages long. I’ve written a paper before that was three pages long. I have an interest in, Jeannette Rankin, the person I am researching. Learning more about her will make the paper easier to do. The paper will be very long but I will have persevere and do the five pages.

  11. 1. One of the aspects of the Hero project in which I believe I will achieve in success in is the persuasive essay. This is how I feel because I believe I really can persuade people to be interested in things. Once I give great details and outstanding information I believe that I can capture the readers attention and make them want to read about my hero. Also I know that I will do great on my research project. I know this because I have already found out some great things about my hero that I will defiantly use in my research essay. This is why I believe I will achieve success on my hero project.


    2. One part of the hero project that I believe I will struggle in is making it 5 PAGES LONG. I know finding more in formation is easy and I can do the persuasive essay practically with my eyes closed. Although those thing may seem easy to me I honestly know that I have never did something so long. Also I think that me trying to make the whole project perfect I will start to get frustrated and start to struggle. If imp going to do perfect on my project I will have to go through some struggle to get there.

  12. One aspect of the Hero Project in which I will achieve success is in the essay. The essay is hard and people will struggle with it. I learned how to transition from paragraph to paragraph, that will be easy for me. Mr. Ebert taught me how to stay in the topic and not go from one topic to another topic that has nothing to do with the first topic. He even taught me how to use vocabulary words that will make my essay interesting for people to read and not get bored. The essay will be a little hard but at the same time easy because some of the students already know some little things about their Hero’s.
    However, when the time comes to perform, it will be really hard for me. The stage frightens me. To perform on stage is not really my type of thing to do. When performing, I hope I don’t forget what I have to say or do. Doing so will be so embarrassing. I have to push myself in to doing these things because I will need to the grade. It will be a huge struggle for me to perform in front of all the 8th graders and some former students. If I practice and practice, I know I will get better and perform really good.

  13. One of my aspects of the hero project that I know I will achieve is the research paper. I think I will be doing great on my research paper. The person that I will be writing about might be a good idea. I think I will be doing great when I write about her.

    One thing I will be struggling in the hero project is when I have to be on stage talking in front of everyone. I will timid to talk in front of everyone. I don’t like talking in front of lots of people if it’s quiet. I will also be struggling because I have never done this in my life; the other thing I will be struggling on is the 5 pages. It will seem hard to do during my hero project.

  14. One aspect of the Hero Project that I believe I will achieve in is the 5-page essay. I believe I will be successful on writing the 5-page essay because I have become a better writer over the year and I have learned how to compose an essay. Another aspect of the Hero Project where I believe I will be successful at is the index cards. I will be successful on the index cards because with all the resources I have I can write as much information that is needed to pass.

    One part of the Hero Project that I might struggle on is the monologue. I believe I will struggle on the monologue is because I am not the best actor. I believe I will be successful on the monologue because it is short. I also believe I will be successful on the monologue if I try my best and practice a lot.

  15. 1.Para mi la parte mas exitosa del proyecto héroes es la parte de escribir porque me gusta mas escribir que decirlo me gusta mas lo que buscar y escribir en el proyecto héroes.

    2.En la parte mas dificil del el proyecto es explicar de que se trata el proyecto que yo hice pero lo mas decir del el proyecto es pararme afrenté y tener que párame al frente y tener que explicar de que se tratar el proyecto en ingles.

  16. One aspect of the heroes project that I believe will help me to achieve success is the art project. I believe the art part of the project will help me achieve success because art is one of my strong points and I think I will really enjoy the art part of the project.
    One part of this project that I think I will struggle with is the responsibility of the project. The fact that I have no chouse but to do this project, and that I have to be very responsible about doing the project, and remembering things important for and or about the project in order to finish this project and.

  17. 1. One aspect of this project that i believe i will do well in is the research paper. I think that because i have a person that has a lot of resources for me to get information.

    2. I will most likely struggle on the monologue because when I'm up in front of a lot of people i tend to lose my words or get mixed up.

  18. The one aspect that i know i would do good on is when I'm done doing all the research and putting all the work together, also I will be very exited on the project because of the person I'm doing it on. One thing that I might have a struggle on is doing the research because it might not have all the information that i might need doing the book, also they information that i might get might not be true because the internet might not have all the right information on the person I'm doing on.

  19. One aspect of my paper that will be good is the information because Joe Louis is one of the best boxers in history. I think I chose a good person because is life is interesting and they way he changed boxing for the world. One part of my essay that will be a struggle is the 5 pages because towards the end I think the information will start to get boring. Another part that would be the acting party because I have to dress up the a boxer.

  20. My hero is Minnijean Brown reading and watching a play and knowing what she did being part of the first 9 students to integrate Central High School. I feel Comfortable writing about her an aspect about Minnijean that will be difficult is. There are not many books that talks about her and what happened to her after later in life. That is probably the only thing i could think of that i could struggle with.

  21. 1. One of the aspect of the Heroes project is the doing the research paper. I think that I will do great on my research paper because I learned how to become a better writer like in the 7th and the right now because I learned how to put vocabulary words and the quotes in the paragraphs that I write.

    2. One of the hardest part of the Heroes project will first be the Monologue the first reason is because I have never wrote on of those before so that will be a new thing to me. The other part tat will be hard is acting like the character in front of the whole 8th graders because they all are staring at you and some of them will make a joke about you even if you make one mistake and then you be named for the rest of the school year.

  22. One aspect of the "Hero Project" that I believe I will succeed in is collecting the facts about Roberto Clemente'. I think I will succeed in this because there are many places i can get facts from like movies internet libraries even some old articles.

    One part in which I believe I will struggle on the "hero project" is on the five pages part. I fear I will get close to the goal but not reach it exactly. I hope I can make the goal but if not I will make it as long and interesting as I possibly could.

  23. I think that I will achieve success on the art component. I think I will achieve success because I am a good artist and for me is not challenging. I think that I will struggle on the monologue because I sometimes get stage fright. I am a good actor when I’m acting in front of my friends because I know that they will not care if I’m good or bad. But some times I get stage fright because I think that I will mess up and get a bad review.

  24. The one aspect that I will achieve in is the research part. I say this because I am good at using the Internet. I am a very good reader. Also I like to watch movies. So that fits in all the research part and I like to do all of them.

    The part that I will struggle in is the writing part. I am not a very good writer so that will be the part that I will struggle in.

  25. The one aspect that i know i would do good on is when I'm done doing all the research and putting all the work together, also I will be very exited on the project because of the person I'm doing it on. I cant wait to do the monologue because I like to act and i wont be scared to perform in front of a crowd, and also i want to be a actress so this might help me out. One thing that I might have a struggle on is doing the research because it might not have all the information that i might need doing the book, also they information that i might get might not be true because the internet might not have all the right information on the person I'm doing on.

  26. The aspect I will achieve on in my hero is searching up more about him. Also i think i am going to do good because i know a whole bunch of things he did already but searching up a little more will complete the project!

    One part i think i am going to struggle on is writing 5 full pages all about this one dude that dint live up that long & really dint make a difrence in the CILVIL RIGHT MOVEMENT. All he did was playball and represent his country.

  27. I believe that I will achieve success on the writing portion of my 5 page essay. Writing is my best when it comes down to explaining important historic topics.
    I do believe I will struggle on the monologue. Standing up I front of a large group of people is not my best thing. I can be the best I can ever be at times but acting as Fannie Lou Marie will be difficult. I an never be as good as Ms. Fannie.

  28. One aspect of this project is the persuasive essay about my hero. My hero is Malcolm X. The 5 page essay won't be that hard because my hero has a lot for me to talk about. My hero has done so many things to influence people on their lives. To help them out on the struggle parts.

    I believe I will struggle on the part where I have to perform in front of the 8th graders in my academy. I believe I will struggle because I might look into a crowd of people looking at me. As that crowd looks I might start to mumble on my words. If I try to memorize my speech I just might forget a part of it but I will try my best to memorize it.

  29. One aspect of the hero project that will help me be successful in this project. I believe that the research on the hero will help me better because I really don't have information. Also I don't know any thing about him, about what he did or whats he's about. I believe that I will have struggle the monologue. I believe that have trouble with monologue because I get scared when present in front of a bunch of people. A second reason why I think I am going to mess up on the monologue is because fidget when I am nervous and I don't speak loud enough.

  30. One aspect of the Hero Project that I believe will help me to achieve success is the 5 page essay. I will achieve success in the 5 page essay because I can just work harder, and focus on what I need to focus on. I can also achieve success because I know I'm a good writer and I have good word choice that can blow people's mind when they read my paper.


    One part that of the Hero Project in which I believe I will struggle in is being distracted by other people. Another part that I believe I'm going to struggle in is being nervous performing and speaking in front of the audience.

  31. One aspect of this project that i believe i will do well in is the research paper.Even though its five pages the internet has a lot of available information on the person I'm doing. Hopefully i wont have the same information repeated in my paper. I think that i will do well because i have a person that has a lot of resources for me to get information on. However,I will most likely struggle on the monologue. I gather this conclusion because when I'm up in front of a lot of people i tend to lose my words or get mixed up.

  32. 1.) One aspect of the hero project that I believe I will do well on is the art project. I believe that the art project maybe easy because I understand what to do on that the most. I understand on what we have to make for the hero project. Also because I think I am good at art. It will also be the funnest part of the project.

    2.) I think I will struggle with the writing and the monologue. I think I will struggle with these two parts because I never wrote a 5 page research paper. I only wrote a 3 page paper before but it was in Mr.ebert's class and it had nothing to do with research. I also think I will struggle with the monologue because I am not used to standing in front of people acting out. Also because I am very shy when it comes to acting in front of lots of people. The monologue I think is the most I would struggle on.

  33. 1.)One aspect I will achieve success in the monologue for many reasons. One reason is that I have been in a play before. In the play I had to stay in character. It was hard, but I did it. The hardest thing is to stay in character. I will try to stay in the character as Jeanette Rankin.
    2.)One aspect I will struggle with is the five-page essay. I cannot write that much. I am not a good explainer. I will try my best. I don’t think I will succeed in the five-page essay. I am not good at researching; when I do I cannot put it in a research paper.

  34. One aspect of the hero project that I will achieve is my five page essay because I love to write but it will be hard at the same time for me because I will have to look over papers to see if I have any mistakes look for some information about your hero and its just to much for me but I know I could do it.

    I will also struggle in the parts of the monologue. I am not so used to playing like someone else because I am me I am no one else and I barely know how to act like some on else. The most part that I am going to struggle is standing in front of people that I know and feel persuaded(confident) about but the only problem is that I get scared when I am in Stage and probably I will faint probably I wont but I am not use to standing in stage in front of every one it gets me scarred and I get really nervous and plus they will deep stare at me waiting till I talk and perform that will be very hard for me but some day I will have to get use to it and just get over it. But the most important part for me about this project is my grade and how well I do and I will success in this project.

  35. 1) One aspect of the Hero project that I think I will succeed is the essay. I am good at gathering information about a specific person .I personally like writing about people
    Lives. It is better for me then the others.



    2) I will defiantly struggle in the acting because I have stage fright .I get really nervous when I present something in front of people. It will be challenging but I’m willing to do anything in order to succeed. I really don’t know what in the world im going to do but I hope I figure something out.

  36. My hero is Minnijean Brown reading and watching a play and knowing what she did being part of the first 9 students to integrate Central High School. Reading the book and watching the video told many details about her and her experiences at the school.


    I feel Comfortable writing about but her aspect about Minnijean that will be difficult is. There are not many books that talks about her and what happened to her after later in life. That is probably the only thing I could think of that I could struggle with.

  37. One aspect of the hero’s project that will help me achieve success is the 5-page essay. I know I will be successful on the 5-page essay because I became a better writer then I was before. I developed better vocabulary comprehension and how to express my self on paper.

    One part I know I will struggle on is the monologue part. I'm not used to going up on stage in front of everyone acting and stuff like that. Since I have stage fright the monologue will be really hard for me to be successful in this part.

  38. One part of the Hero Project that I believe that I would have success in is the research paper. It’ suppose to be at least 5 pages long, but writing a lot is not an issue for me. Writing is one of my strengths so I should have the most success on the research paper.
    The part that I will struggle with the most is the monologue. Being the only one talking in a room filled with a lot of people is scary. I’m shy when it comes to talking in front of a whole bunch of people, so the monologue should be the most difficult for me.

  39. One aspect of the heroes project that I believe will help me to achieve success is the written part. I am a very good writer when I put my mind to it I know that I can write a great essay because writing is one of my only strong points. If I write what I think at the exact moment I think it I would be able to work of that.
    One part of the heroes project that I will Struggle with is the drawing and the monologue. I really can't draw even if I tried my best.The monologue will definitely be a struggle because I have to get on a stage in front of everyone in the 8th grade. It like even though I know everyone and they know me I could just get in front of them and act out a monologue. What if I mess up? What if I forget my speech? What if I don't live up to Ms. Betty Friedan?

  40. 1.)One aspect of the hero project I believe I will achieve is the research paper. I feel more comfortable with doing the research because I am familiar with it, it would be kind of like doing a five paragraph essay like we have been doing in humanities class a few times before. So I think that I will do well and achieve the best on my paper.

    2.)I believe that I will struggle on the monologue because I have never in my entire life experienced anything like this. I am afraid to go up on stage in front of everyone and act. The way I am feeling now at this point I don’t think that I will pass third quarter if I do not act out my part. It is very hard and difficult. This is something that I need to work on brake out of my shyness but I can’t do it alone.
