My Dream Classroom

In this project, we needed to take the base layout of Ms. Burns' classroom, and change it into the classroom we wanted. The best part was going crazy putting things into the classroom. But You start to realize that the classroom is really small , and you need to be somewhat realistic. A scale drawing is when you take an original 2D drawing and expand it or reduce it by a consistant size. This taught me how to make one and how to spacially organize.

Origami Goal

Goals

Personal:
I finished my personal goal so me and Ms.Kelly decided that as an add on I am going to a 3D origami unbound starting in January. So I made a day plan and started making a keynote also I made a blog where it will be shared with everyone so they can add their 3D origami pictures and everyone can see it I tried to do edmodo but that didn't work.





Academic:
Over the course of this week I finished The menagerie and started the book rampant it is about a girl who's mom always told her about man eating evil unicorns and that her great great great grandmother killed the last but then one attacked her boyfreind and she was sent to Rome to learn to hunt unicorns.



The Rithmatist

The Rithmatist

I finished The Rithmatist, by Brandon Sanderson so I'll try to summarize it all. While Joel was trying to learn more about Rithmatists, there were a few kidnappings of the best Rithmatists in the school. Joel was learning more and more about Rithmatics because there were new lines of Rithmatics being discovered at the crime scenes. There are the few that everyone knows, a protective circle, an impassable wall, an attacking line, and a line that makes creatures. While everyone's trying to come up with a suspect, the kidnapper is hiding in plain sight the whole time. Joel is really suspicious of one man the whole time, but no one believes him. Joel will uncover deep secrets about Rithmatics, and also about his father.

This book mostly kept me interested the whole time because it was so different and cool. I don't how the author came up with all of it because I don't know of any other books like it. I just wanted to keep on reading and reading to find out what was happening. The next book is supposed to come out in 2017 so I'll make a prediction of what's going to happen. So it leaves off with Joel knowing a huge secret about a professor but he can't tell anyone because he already blamed him for the attacks, then said sorry and said he was a hero. I predict that Joel is going to take down the professor by himself, or at least expose him, then people will start to see that the proffesor is evil.

Immigration Learning Scale

Immigration Project Reflection


I am giving myself proficient.  All though I don't think that I could give a speech without a lot of preparation, I do feel I showed proficiency in my presentation.  There were a lot more things I wanted to include in my presentation, but ran out of time.  In my presentation I showed how life for immigration was like today focusing on the single stories and myths about immigrants.  I also said how through the course of immigration there has always been push and pull factors.  It has changed because there have been so many different laws being passed all the time.
