Lauren's+Final+Reflection

I really enjoy all of what I have learned this year in Anatomy class. I learned about the tissues and what their role is in keeping the body together, I learned about muscle contraction and how much ADP and ATP is required or produced. I also learned, from my dissections, where the organs, blood vessels and nerves are, despite me being grossed out by the dissections. Yet, another thing I learned is how certain disorders, drugs, or simple hormones, affect the body. And the surprising thing is, I have retained that information. This year learning was not based on memorization, but on creativity and effort put into our projects. These projects alone served as an effective tool to imprint Anatomy into our heads, and it worked. Without tests. To close, I would like to thank those who read my portfolio, I hope it was an informative guide of my adventures in Anatomy class. I would also like to thank Mr. Orr, who gave my classmates and I a different, fun, effective way of learning. Until next year. Lauren Smith :)
