I can take responsibility for my learning, asking for help as I need it. When I didn’t understand how to write chemical formulas I made sure to ask questions. I asked for help from the people around me and asked my teacher lots of questions to make sure I understood the concept. I know that the only way to succeed in my learning is if I ask for help and understand what I am doing.

I can gather, select, evaluate, and synthesize information. When making my information fluency sway I had to research a lot of information about my element, mercury. I looked at many different websites for my questions and gathered the most accurate and important information. I used my previous knowledge about the element and combined it with the new information I found online. In the end, I made sure I understood what I was writing, and I was able to write a well-thought-out sway based on everything I knew and learned.
