PSA Evaluations

This week everyone finished up their projects by presenting them to "important people" that could help us with ideas about our project. When presenting to the person you have to show a PSA that you made. For the PSA's I believe that the top three that really made me think about the problem was Lauren's, Emma's and Halie's. If we could choose our own then it would be Mine, Lauren's and Emma's. I think that Matt's PSA didn't need all of the words because people are not going to take the time to read everything it says, he could put some key words that stand out. I didn't like how Alex's didn't have music and it was a little boring to watching, he could put some videos in too. I liked Sean's a lot to maybe be in my top five but he should use some bright or eye catching colors but the FREE MONEY title was really good to use. I didn't really get a lot of information that I wanted to know from the PSA's but if you took the time to write down notes from each PSA, I think you would get enough information to understand the problem it is effecting on the Earth and what we could do to stop it.

Reflection

For our final exam project I have learned a lot about the environment and how important it is to keep it clean. In eighth grade I help out a group of people clean up trash on the side of a road and I didn't really know why it was important to clean up. Now I know more about what I could do to help the world just by cleaning up a couple of piece of garbage. I think I will get a lot out of this project because it shows and tells us how to help the Earth. I will show my family what we could to make our home more "green".

Promises

Riddles

1. Rosters don't lay eggs. 2. There were in the cabin of an airplane that crashed and started the fire around them. 3. Tom. 4. Take the grain, then the chicken, then the grain back, then the fox, then the chicken back, then bring the grain over again, then the chicken. 5. They are both hurricanes and every one was happy with Craig's death because they don't want the hurricane to go on land to destroy their houses.

My eyes are open

This poem really told how much the Native American love the Earth and how they helped the Earth. It made me think about what I do for the Earth and why I deserve to be here. When we sail over to American all we did was made crops and chop down trees to make houses. Now we have destroyed the Earth with roads and skyscrapers that are not needed. After hurting the Earth so much we are trying to save it by making chargeable cars, solar panels, windmills, etc. Instead of using more energy we should be planting more trees and plants to make up for what we cut down. We don't need cars and computers to live, just look at our past. It's really sad how far we have come and what we have done to destroy everything that we were offered like trees, food, water, shelter,and warmth. I believe we should plant flowers in front of the school or plant a tree somewhere on the property to show that our class cares. One little thing like planting a tree can make a difference to the Earth. We should start giving back and since yesterday was Earth day we could go along a road and pick up the garbage that people throw out of there cars. Reading this poem has opened my eyes to become a better person by helping out. I'm glad that the teachers have assigned us the project we are doing because we are saving the Earth at the same time we are doing school work and trying to get a good grade. It's time to make a difference and we are the one who need to make it.

Our new project!

For our new project I am done with the proposal. That's truly all I have done but I almost have my book done and have sent a letter to 27 students to help with my project. This week I will be working on my collecting my data, finishing my book and starting research my social studies part of the project. The questions I have for my teachers are:
1. Is this apart of our Exams, and if it is then are we taking big tests at the end of the year?
2. If I did bad on this project (not going to happen) will there be a change to improve my grade?
3. If we read more then one book for our topic will there be extra points added or will we have to pick one that we read?
4. Since this is going into a research paper how long is it required to be?
5. Are we persenting this in more then one way then just a paper?

Romeo and Juliet Responce

After making a movie on Act 3 for Romeo and Juliet, I thought I did pretty good compared to some other student. I was really proud of my work, this was really fun for me once I got into what I was doing. I thought this movie was really easy and I would rather make a movie then take a test because it's so much more fun and I don't have to study for it. This project was really cool and I would love to do it again!
