Humanities: noble

I am a noble. I owe allegiance to Christianity and the queen. I offer protection to the queen and I fight for Christianity. I am a noble. In return, I expect to be rewarded with money and servants. I also provide funds for wars.

Art

What I saw in the movie...was a man building some cool things.
I remember the man making stone eggs and using ice bits to make a strange thing attached to the rock. The man made many rock eggs using many rocks. The man also used small wooden branches to make a big wooden web. He also made some kind of leaf trail on the water. Everything else I forgot.
The rock eggs I liked the most. It was beautifully crafted and accurately fitted into place. When I looked at it, it gave me some kind of holy presence, the feeling like your looking at something old.
Rock eggs were made in various places. One was in the water and the water washed it away. One was built in the bushes. I think they built it and put a camera over there for a year, because they filmed the whole season.

Humanities

The simulation we did today was kind of useless since most of us knows what we were doing. But of the simulation we did today was to teach the 6th graders then it might be useful for the 6th graders to learn at least something about the medieval times that they are going to learn in 8th grade.

Blood Red Horse

The two main character in the Blood Red Horse I think is William and Eleanor. William doesn't like his brother, Gaven, and because William doesn't like Gaven so Eleanor tries not to like Gaven too, but after Eleanor saw Gaven mourning for his dog, she changed her mind.
Eleanor is kind and smart and i think she likes William. William likes horses.

Bullfighting

I think that bull fighting is inhumane. Hundreds of bulls die in a year to please the people. I think maybe if they just play with the bulls not kill them then it is a bit less inhumane. After all, I think that we, humans, should only kill when it benefits us in some way or another. Like killing for fun is not a way that beings with superior knowledge and intellectual development should act.

The Clock of Life

The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop, at a late or early hour. Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will. For the clock may soon be still by Robert H. Smith
I don't know if I like this poem/quote. I never appreciated nothing in language arts but stories, but I know what this poem/quote is about. It used the clock was our life. It is a commonly used word to describe life. It also tells you to spend your life wisely do things you will enjoy during your life because life is short. In the end, I don't find this poem/quote extraordinarily interesting and not even interesting, but I don't think it's bad/ Its just that I don't like quotes and poems.

SMASH Day Reflection

We tried to make a scope used in submarines. We needed to look into the box where there was so called treasure. The supplies given to make the scope thing was a small torn box, a stack of scrap papers and some mirrors.
We modified our design for a few times but at the last time we were adding to it, one of the mirror changed places and fell down. We knew that we needed to modify our scope because the things we saw through the mirror was wrong. We had to look at the angles and shift the mirrors into the right places. I think my team communicated all right.
Draw your design first, then find the angles of reflection.

mirrow image

When i look into my mirror. I see a boy. A man. A boy. And a man. I not so sure. I'm not sure of what the others make of me either. So it makes me curious....but not so much. I don't like looking at the mirror much because I know what I will see. When I really think..I realize that I'm not very curious at all.

Kenya explosion clainms many lives


At some point a split petrol caught alight and the tanker exploded, killing at least 111 people and hurting more.
Some thinks that a lit cigarette may have started the laze, while others say it was lit on purpose.

Reflection

I used critical thinker and problem solver, effective communicator, and active learner.
I used critical thinker and problem solver by thinking on what to write on the Research Paper. Especially on the conclusion part of my Research Paper. I was effective communicator because I think one would understand what I am thinking and what I am telling them if them read my Research Paper. I was an active learner because I learned a lot about Ancient Greece and Rome history while I wrote my Research Paper.
One of the big relationship between Ancient Greece and Rome I learned while doing the Research Paper is that Ancient Greece and Rome interacted with each other a lot in the ancient times. Although the difference between them are very similar but you should be able to tell which is which while reading my Research Paper. For the most of the part at least.

language art

i think that the SRCs are a good example for effective communicator, because they talk clearly and loudly. most of the time in the all school gathering, the SRCs come up and says something of the school stuff which they had discussed and then made a decision. the requirements of being a effective communicator is a mouth, and brain.
