Criterion E

I was very excited about the project because it was something we had never done before. Writing the script was both challenging and fun. I had to struggle to keep it ancient whilst doing in a modern time. I was even more excited that when I came back from ACAMIS, I realized that my script had been chosen to be performed. However, not everyone else liked the unit so we voted it off. I think I was the only enthusiastic one about the whole unit because, of course, my script was chosen. I did not volunteer to do any work such as acting, directing, make up, editing, because my class seems to have it under control. I think that if we have continued on the unit the way it was planned, it might have been a very silly movie and everyone’s not-seriousness was getting us nowhere. I think that another reason why no one liked the unit was because Mrs. Wilson herself did not like it either. When the teacher doesn’t like what she’s teaching, I think it just kills it for the rest of the class so it is good that she cancelled the unit and decided to start fresh.

Criterion B

Criterion B
The couches that the contestants will sit on can be got from the library.
There are no other materials.
Because we chose our topic of the script from the choices on the board, there wasn’t much to choose from. However, I tried to make it work with what I had and I think my script was modern and ancient at the same time.

Career Planning Investigation

My Interest
1. Sleeping
2. Playing football
3. Reading
4. Watching movies
5. Solving math problems
6. Net surfing
7. Discussing books with my class
8. Ballet
9. Listening to music
Why I like these
1. When I was younger, I used to dread going to sleep, but now that I am older and have more homework I am not getting enough sleep and I am tired all the time.
2. I started playing football when I was in 7th grade and I realized that it was the only sport I wasn’t horrible at, but I’m not that great at it either. However, the most important thing is that I enjoy playing it
3. On Friday nights I do not like to go out. I prefer staying in and reading a good book. I am a very independent person so I am not a big fan of crowds or places with massive amounts of people.
4. Next to reading, I love watching movies. Any kind of movies.
5. Since I was in kindergarten, I was always good at math and liked it as well. My mom encouraged me to take math lessons because she saw my ability to do so well in it. I liked being better than everyone else at something.
6. Everybody loves net surfing and doing nothing useful
7. Since I went into 9th grade, I started to enjoy my English classes. I loved sitting in my class with my peers and just discussing what we’ve read.
8. I started to take ballet lessons since I was last year and realized that I loved it when I stopped doing it.
9. Everyone loves listening to music

At school, I like sitting in English class and discuss books. Of course I like lunch and recess. But the lesson I look forward to the most is math class. My ‘passion’ for math is still somewhere there inside my head and that just keeps me going. P.E is the only physical lesson we get in school and I try to make the best of it. It is a chance for us to shake away all the thoughts and writing and reading.
After school in my leisure time, I stay at home and read a book and watch a movie. or of course just listening to music is good too.

Result Meaning

Careers for INTJ Personality Types


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Whether you're a young adult trying to find your place in the world, or a not-so-young adult trying to find out if you're moving along the right path, it's important to understand yourself and the personality traits which will impact your likeliness to succeed or fail at various careers. It's equally important to understand what is really important to you. When armed with an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and an awareness of what you truly value, you are in an excellent position to pick a career which you will find rewarding.

INTJs generally have the following traits:

Able to absorb extremely complex theoretical and complex material
Driven to create order and structure from theoretical abstractions
Supreme strategists
Future-oriented
See the global, "big picture"
Strong insights and intuitions, which they trust implicitly
Value their own opinions over others
Love difficult theoretical challenges
Bored when dealing with mundane routine
Value knowledge and efficiency
Have no patience with inefficiency and confusion
Have very high standards for performance, which they apply to themselves most strongly
Reserved and detached from others
Calm, collected and analytical
Extremely logical and rational
Original and independent
Natural leaders, but will follow those they can fully support
Creative, ingenious, innovative, and resourceful
Work best alone, and prefer to work alone
More so than any other personality type, INTJs are brilliant when it comes to grasping complex theories and applying them to problems to come up with long-term strategies. Since this type of "strategizing" is the central focus and drive of the INTJ, there is a happy match between desire and ability in this type. Accordingly, the INTJ is happiest and most effective in careers which allow this type of processing, and which promote an environment in which the INTJ is given a lot of autonomy over their daily lives.

The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an INTJ. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed.

Evaluation for Shiny Shakespeare

Due to the major delay and problems while filming the play, Mrs. Wilson and the whole ninth grade class has voted off the unit. However, we can't just end like that, we have to evaluate and identify what the problem was.
In the beginning, the unit seems fun to the both students and teachers; meaning Mr Thompson and Mrs Wilson. the students were all excited about the costumes and casting and who's script was going to be chosen. However, in the mid process of the unit, half the class went away to ACAMIS which is the answer to the confusions after everyone had returned from China and Germany, and whatever. The success of this unit was how eager everyone was to start the unit. And after a few confusions, the whole class decided that we were wasting too much time preparing and that we should just get on with it. We tried to get as much as videoing done last class, but the whole 80 minutes was not enough. Mrs. Wilson said that since we could not afford to lose any time by memorizing lines, everyone could look at their script while performing and at the end we could just cut the scenes out. But seeing how much time we've already wasted, that was not a big deal. Not only were we wasting our time, we were wasting the Language B people's time as well. Since they had not even read the play Much Ado about Nothing and they did not write their own scripts, they were kind of bored and were just sitting around for the last couple of lessons.
I do not think that the unit was planned out thoroughly and that caused us to FAIL. Since this was the first time doing this unit, some obstacles were expected. However, Mrs Wilson herself admitted how much she hated this unit and she just did not want to waste any more time doing it when she could clearly see that it was getting us nowhere. For further improvements, (if they plan on doing this unit again), the teacher should make a plan for every lesson of what the class needs to do so everyone will have to meet a deadline for the memorization of their lines, and to bring in their costumes and such.
