This I believe Reflection (:

Project description: Well in this project when we first started we needed to do 3o things on what you believe and write it about the stuff that is really important and interesting in your life. And then we needed to choose a quote of the 30 things that we wrote and I choose " Everything happens for a reason ". And then write an essay about your quote that you choose and I choose that quote because a lot of stuff happen to me and well everything that happens it happens for a reason.


Reflection: In this project of I believe it made me believe more in things and trust more. And also this project I also noticed that my other friend they also believe more in stuff thanks to this project. I think that this project really help me a lot on believing more stuff.


I think that I did challenge because in the essay we needed to write at least 4oo words or 5oo the max and well when I was typing my essay I though that I did like 4oo or less that that but when I check on the word a count it was 784 words and it was a lot and I needed to arrange some of my work so then I just stayed with 5oo words and I think I did challenge because I wrote a lot.


What I would do different would be spent more time in my work even though I know I have the enough time to do my work but what I do different is spent more time on it.


This project would help me a lot later on when I grow up because I could be a writer or be an expert on projects of writing and some other stuff but I really think his would help m a lot later on.

My Ishmael R.E.M

Project description: for this project was based of My Ishmael its the book that we have been reading for the longest. They gave us the chance to choose our own chapter and do something of it. And also we could of do how much we wanted to but I just wanted to do one. Which was tho one of the illustrator the drawing and I choose that one because I love painting and because its fun and better.


Process: First thing I did was to get a piece of paper and practice my drawing with it and see how its going to look like. Second what I did I started to draw first with a pencil and then deleting my mistakes and then in color. Third when I was done with my drawing with a pencil I started to color it with the lightens color so it would look like if I had painted, doing it smooth.


Reflection: I learn that going to school is good to get a job when you grow up. And when you finish so they could go work and get money for the stuff that we need. Well at first it wasn't that easy but then when I was on half of it started to sound easier and well I noticed that always at the beginning its always going to be hard but when your in the middle of it looks easier. Sometimes you just have to try hard so it wont be that hard. Well I think I would do the same because in this project I took a little of while and it wasn't that easy but I tried my best and I did a hard work and I know I did well so i think I wouldn't change it and I would just do the same thing. This would help me a lot after because this show me how much work and effort you have to do to get a good grade and to understand it better and it would also help me later on drawing because if we do projects of drawing and painting lately now you would be an expert on this.

Evelyn Glennie: shows how to listen :D

What will you remember about her performance ?

I would remember all the emotions that she has for music. All that type of sounds that she did but speacially in the marimba. And also I would never forget either that even though shes deaf she knows how to do all those kind of sounds and I know she could feel it.


Describe what it felt like listening to her play. What factors helped create this moment ? You can describe any of the times that she played or either instrument.

Well I really had fun listening at her perfomance because like all the kinds of sounds she would do it would like relax me. Also it would inspired me that even though shes deaf she knows how to focused on what she was doing. And I really like how she was useing the drums because also she would do it with the sticks in the sides to make differents sounds.


What elements of her perfomance influenced what the audince heard ?

I think that she put a lot of effort in the performance. At first I didn't know that she was deaf because everything that she does with the sounds it doesn't look that shes deaf until she said that she was deaf since she was 12 years old. And well everytime she would do the sound it would feel good.


What did she mean by " Each person experiences music in their own way" ?

I think that she meant that some people might be blind but, they know how to feel the music and do different type of sounds but they have their own way to do the music and feel it. Some people don't really like the music because they think its boerding because they don't know how to feel the music and they don't know how special is. (:

School Daze Dialectic Journals

Quote: " Yeah," I said with a bitter laugh. " Only about eighty million kids went to bed last night praying for six feet of snow to fall so the schools would have to close. " (page.131)


Response:
I think that this quote is intersting because I feel that way sometimes. School should be a place that you can meet new people and learn about the subjects that you like. And some students don't like school But unfortonely we have to come because that would help us get a good job when we grove up. Some kids don't like going to school because they think that its lame but they have to because is something that they need to do. But also there some student that do like coming to school because they like school subjects.

brianna's storyy. (:

There was a girl named Brianna with the age of 19, she had a job of working on a cheese factory. She didn't really like her job, but the only reason she worked there was because she needed the money. Brianna had a brother named Leonardo. She didn’t have a dad, he died in a car accident and, Brianna and Leonardo were really over protective of her mom. She didn't want a guy get close to her mom or be next to her. Also Leonardo her brother was a jealous person too. Leonardo was 17. Cindy her mom was 36. Brianna would always work at the factory. Brianna would work a lot and carry eight cheeses at the same time. She would do that for the past 6 months. Until once her bones got tired of caring a lot of cheese at the same time she was crying a lot but at the same time she was really mad that she wanted to kill everybody. Brianna calls her brother, and her mom. They went fast to the hospital to see how Brianna was. After three months Brianna went back to work. A costumer went to the store to buy some cheese. When the costumer went to his house and opened the cheese when he sees that the cheese were rotten so the costumer went back to the store and said “I want my money back because those cheese were rotten". So the manager came and told Brianna “Brianna am so sorry but you’re fired because you can't be doing that to the costumers. So Brianna started to cry because she didn't mean to do that. But im the end she accepted it. So her mom was looking for a job. After three weeks she found one. She needed to work because what would they do without money so after that. After she started to work she found a guy friend and his name was martin. But Brianna didn't agree with it she didn't wanted a step dad but her mom wanted to married her friend martin also martin too. Brianna got really mad at her mom because her mom knew that Brianna didn't want a step dad. Brianna said “mom if you get married with Martin don't talk to me never in your life. Her mom said “But Brianna you got to understand that if we love each other we have to be together so we could be happy. Her mom got married with Martin. Brianna said "okay mom I guess you don't care about my opinion" with a disappointed face. After two months Brianna needed to accept it so she found a guy friend name Nardo but his nickname was teddy so everyone would call him like that. One day Nardo asked Brianna “Brianna do you like or do you think if am cute". Brianna got hella blush and said “yeah I do like you and of course your hella cute" so Nardo asked Brianna” Then Brianna would you give that chance?" Brianna said “yes, yes, yes of course I would" with a big smile in her face. But there was a problem that Leonardo didn't agree with that relationship of Brianna and Nardo he would say that Brianna didn't have permission. So Brianna said with a big tone “STOP, STOP LEONARDO GETTING IN MY LIFE YOUR NO ONE TO TELL ME THAT!!!!!" with a big attitude. Brianna couldn't understand her brother Leonardo neither her mom so she felt like an ant lost in the world so she decided to do the steps with her mom and with her step dad Martin and of course with her brother Leonardo. But after 1 year everything changed because Brianna understands her mom and Martin's relationship so she understands it and she didn't have a problem. Because she was cool that her mom would let her have a boyfriend. So she didn't tip about it. And same thing with Leonardo he needed to change that he needed to understand that her mom and sister have a boyfriend so at the end he did understand it that he didn't trip about it that at the end he got a girl to So after all the time that they had problems finally they resolve them and they just decided to be a great family and not have problems so now they leave with some peace on there house the end.

Space and Aviation :)

This article is about a satelite that they designed that they decided to take the measuruments of sea ice and glaciers. It fall under the fiels of the space and aviation. this aricle is like telling us that would help scientist make better computer models to predict polar temperatures, ocean circulation and, perhaps most important for those of us on the rest of the planet, rising sea levels. I really care about this because I know that this would hep the enviroment.I thik that in the 2010 scientist are going to find more stuff like more information about this. In 2005 the rocket failed to separate and brought the original CryoSat satellite crashing into the Arctic Ocean. That was the obstacle that they had, but scientist came up with some knew ideas for it to be a such a success job.

Entertainment Tv On The go.

Well this aricle was about that on this year that I don't know what year they were some knew inventions that like now we will be able to watch Tv but not only in Tv also in cellphones and on net books and all the others electronic stuff I think that this article falls under the field of entertainment. What this article is usually trying to tell us is that like it cost broadcoasters less that a penny to provide the serviece. Well compared with the 4 per minute price that carriers pay and the knew service called mobile digital Tv it allows any wireless divice i think thats really cool. I think that we shoul really care because like some knew stuff come out and also because now we could acess the wirelles with any electronics things and also in tv. I think that if it goes like that at the edn they would have a lot of money.

Time Travelers essay.

Project Description:Well this project was about a group of 3 or 4 people and on my group we had 4 and at the bigining it was like kind of difficult. Then we have to figure out stuff about that civilization and we needed to choose on doing something likeIt was either a boat, trebuchet, or a water transportation system. And we needed out what of this thing would go back in time.


Process: Well I had to look up as much things about the the Mayans and I was triying my best like I went to google to see what information I coul get and I think that on everything that I read it was really intersting.


Reflection:What did you learn?
-Well what I learned was the the Mayans had a different writing in the calendar aztec because they would write different than right now and that is like really cool and intersting.


What challenges did you encounter?
-The challenges that I had well it was just writing the essay and check it for no errors. Well for me it was really difficult the essaty because I didn't really had that much ideas.


What would you do the same or different?
-Well I think that next time I woulden't really look in the internet becase it would help me alot when I grow up i'll just write it in my own words.


How will this help you later?
-Well this would helped me la lot how to write professional and so I could do better in school and so when I grow up and get a job it won't be difficult.

Time Travelers Pillar =]

Project Description:We had to paint a drawing on the 9Th grade common pillars with what your civilization had to do with. Well I needed to write about was about the mayans so I needed to draw something in the 9th grade commons and what I draw was a calendar aztec and also a pyramid.



Process: Well first I didn't really had ideas like what to do do but then I went to google so see what ideas I could get so I saw the images and I saw this calendar aztec and also a pyramid when I saw it yes this is the perfectthing that I need so I choose that. But then when I started to draw it in the the 9th grade commons first I did it with a pencil and the I painted it.


Reflection:What did you learn?
-I learned that the pictures that I draw means a lot to the Mayans of science & technology.

What challenges did you encounter?
-Well like I didn't really encounter any of the challenges because I think that when I was painting it was really cool doing it like I had lotz of fun and speacially because I love to paint.


What would you do the same or different?
-I think I wouldn't do anything different because I was really happy with my drawing it came just how I wanted.


How will this help you later?
-Well it will help me later on to be a professional drawer. jajajaja lol NO JOKE :)

2nd Semester goals..

My academics goals for Mysics for this second semester are:

-Asking Question!

Step#1 for this semester I am gonna be asking more questions on what I do. Step#2 every time that I do my work I am gonna ask questions before I do it. Step#3 if I get confused or sometimes if I just don't understand it well I would just step up and ask question to some one that understands it so they would help me on it.

-Participate!

Step#1 for this semester I am going to start to participate more. Step#2 I am going to start participate and then also so I can get some professionals points. Step#3 im going to aks for help when I need it so I would get better in that and so I would understand it more. That's why I think I should start participating more because I think if I do it I am gonna get better in English and also because it would make me more smarter in humanities.

-Check My work!

Step#1 when they give us a worksheet I am going to check my work when i turn it in. Because sometimes I turn in it my work without checking it and that's a big mistake that I have and I wanna do more better in that. Step#2 im gonna try my best because when I get a bad grade is because I don't really try my best so I think that I got to do better in that and I know I could do way better. Step#3 im going to check my notebook of math to see my notes so before I do something I could do it and understand it better.

2nd Semester goals..

My academics goals for Humanities for this second semester are:

-Asking Question!

I think that for this semester I am gonna be asking more questions on what I do. Because every time that I do my work I do it and sometimes I get confused or sometimes I just don't understand it so for this semester I got to step up and ask question to some one that understands it so they would help me on it but I know that on this semester I am gonna do way better I am pretty sure.

-Participate!

I think for this semester I am going to participate. Because I don't usually participate and then also so I can get some professionals points. And sometimes I need a lot of help so that's why I think I should start participating more because I think if I do it I am gonna get better in English and also because it would make me more smarter in humanities.

-Check My work!

I think when we do a worksheet sometimes I turn in it my work without checking it and that's a big mistake that I have and I wanna do more better in that. Because maybe when I get a bad grade is because I don't really try my best so I think that I got to do better in that and I know I could do way better.
