This document is Shannel Cabuhat's sophomore portfolio reflecting on her second year in the MeneMac program at Moanalua High School. She discusses the challenges of the program and how it has pushed her beyond a regular curriculum. She highlights evidence from her work that demonstrates meeting the six General Learner Outcomes, including taking notes, checking grades, collaborating on projects like Exploravision, and engaging in complex problem-solving for assignments in Geometry.

2.  Alooooha!
Shannel's
back
for
another
round
on
my
GLO
portfolio!
What
is
GLO?
It
stands
for,
General
Learner
Outcomes.
Here
I
will
deliberate
about
my
final
year
in
the
MeneMac
Core.
 As
my
sophomore
year
comes
to
a
close,
looking
back
at
all
the
work
I
have
done
this
past
year
really
showed
the
challenges
I
went
through
with
these
assignments.
Being
in
MeneMac
is
not
a
choice,
it
is
also
a
commitment
as
a
student
learner
who
does
beyond
what
a
regular
Moanalua
High
School
student
does.
MeneMac
has
really
pushed
me
with
many
assignments
and
projects
for
the
past
2
years
and
I
can
say
that
I'm
glad
I
made
it
through
with
satisfying
results.
MeneMac
really
changed
my
perspective
on
high
school,
way
different
than
what
I
anticipated.
 In
my
GLO
Portfolio
Presentation,
I
will
show
evidence
of
my
work,
projects,
and
activities
I
have
done
in
the
entire
year
that
show
I
have
met
all
six
learner
outcomes.

3.  "Be
responsible
for
one's
own
learning”
 Definition:
The
ability
to
take
action
for
ones
learning.
It

you
learned
into
your
time,
and
responsibility
and
doing
what
it
takes
to
check
if
you
understand
what
you
were
taught.

4. 1.
Taking
notes
for
classes
such
as
Spanish,
Geometry,
Spanish Notes
and
Basic
Physics.
 Taking
notes
for
these
classes
show
that
I
want
to
be
sure
that
I
have
understood
what
I
was
taught
in
class.
It
is
helpful
for
the
times
when
I
am
confused,
Geometry Notes
need
it
for
homework,
projects,
help
me
prepare
for
tests/
quizzes,
and
other
assignments.
This
shows
that
I
do
what
is
takes
to
check
if
I
understand
what
I
was
taught.
Basic Physics Notes

5. Checking grades
2.
Taking
time
to
check
my
current
grades
on
SnapGrades.
 When
SnapGrades
was
introduced
to
the
whole
school,
I
was
happy
that
I
finally
get
to
see
my
current
progress
in
each
class.
It’s
really
helpful
because
it
displays
all
my
assignments,
projects,
grades,
report
card,
and
more.
When
I
am
viewing
my
SnapGrades
I
am
taking
my
learning
into
my
hands
because
checking
my
grades
shows
that
I
am
concerned
about
any
upcoming
tasks
to
do.

6.  “Understand
that
it
is
essential
for
human

to
work
together”
 Definition:
The
importance
for
us
to
work
together
as
a
team,
and
to
be
a
community

This
GLO
is
a
crucial
in
Menemac
because
we
have
to
be
able
to
put
effort
in
our
group’s
work.

7. 1.
Exploravision
 Exploravision
is
a
nation
wide
competition
where
many
grade
levels
compete
to
create
a
new
invention
that
could
benefit
us
in
the
future.
For
this
project,
my
group
was
called
“Nanotechnos.”
I
faced
a
lot
of
challenges
in
this
project
because
I
was
basically
the
leader
of
the
group.
I
had
to
make
sure
everyone
did
their
part,

“Movie

themed
bulletin
 This
one
was
a
challenge,
from
the
beginning
of
lunch
the
day
before
it
was
due,
we
had
to
film
and
edit
the
bulletin
and
leader
in
a
couple
of
hours.
This
displayed
the
team
work
needed
to
complete

critical

in
a
scholarly
way.

10. 1.
Exploravision
 Exploravision
was
very
difficult
and
required
A
LOT
of
critical
thinking.
This
is
because
we
had
to
take
a
present
technology
and
evolve
it
into
something
we
could
use
in
the
future.
The
invention
my
group
created
was
a
single
pill
that
had
hundreds
of
Nanobots.
The
purpose
of
the
pill
was
to
eliminate
the
procedure
of
opening
the
human
body.
This
pill,
once
taken
will
be
activated
by
human
saliva
and
will
repair
the
damages
in
the
human
body
in
a
effective
way
without
leaving
any
scars
on
the
skin.

Physics
Music
Video
 My
groups’
“Cellular
Energy”
music
video
is
what
I
picked
as
an
example
for
this
GLO
because
I
feel
that
the
effort
we
put
in
this
video
shows
good
cinematography,
audio,
and
editing.
This
music
video
required
us
to
get
a

in
the
science
field,
create
lyrics,
get
an
instrumental,
record
it,
and
film
a
music
video
along
with
it
too.
And
with
everything
put
together,
the
audience
should
have
been
able
to
learn
something
new
out
of
the
music
video.

14. 2.
Websites

When
I’m
making
websites,
I
always
have
the
feel
that
it
needs
to
be
at
its
best
quality.
And
usually
when
I
create
websites
I
have
to
be
able
to
create
&
identify
its
quality
as
a
product.
My
freshmen
year’s
Traits
Portfolio,
Poetry
Website,
GLO
Portfolios
and
Exploravision
web
pages
shows
a
good
example
for
this
GLO
because
I
know
the
websites
I
made
for
each
of
them
are
organized,
done
well,
demonstrates
good
examples,

shows
a
state

Videoconferences

The
video
conferences
we
have
done
this
year
shows
how
effective
we
can
communicate
with
other
states.
For
example,
recently
we
just
had
a
videoconference
with
Los
Fresnos.
We
communicated
with
them
effectively
with
the
new
cell
phone
polls,
surveys,
showing
them
videos,
and
etc.
It
was
fun
videoconferencing
with
other
states
because
I
got
to
learn
something
about
their
community,
what
they
do,
what’s
it
like
there
and
more.
It’s
really
cool
how
we
are
able
to
communicate
with
people
on
the
other
side
of
the
country.

Blog
Commentary
 Parent
commentaries

classmate

an
effective
way
to
interact
with
my
parents
and

I
have
done
show
that
I
can
use
a

are
useful
because

The
fun
part
about

is

creativity.

20. 2.
Promethean
and
Blogger
 Promethean
and
Blogger
is
what
I
mainly
use
for
English.
(My
math
class
just
recently
started
using
the
Promethean
too.)
Promethean
and
blogger
are
good
examples
because
they
are
two
different
types
of
technology
that
are
used
for
academic
reasons.
In
Promethean,
you
can
text
in
answers
to
any
