Academic Language Week 8 - Ten Commandments

I think doctors should help critically ill patients commit suicide because it is less painless than slow death. A patient has a right to emphasize their feeling when they would like to end their life on their term. I think doctors should make sure everyone is OK or asked for consent because then they will no receive the wrong criteria from any of the patients family members. This is what I think about doctors helping critically ill patients commit suicide.

Dia de los Muertos - Pick a Person

I plan to construct a Dia de los Muertos altar about Martin Luther King Jr.. His main character traits are he was brave and determined and always spoke his mind. He was a courageous and a leader.
     Martin Luther King Jr. used to be named Michael Luther King Jr. but was changed to Martin Luther King Jr.He graduated school at age 15. He was selected as senior president. Then later had a family with two girls and two boys.In December 1995 he accepted the leadership of the first great Negro nonviolent demonstration. At the age of 35 he was the youngest man to have received the Novel Peace Prize. April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.King's efforts were not limited to securing civil rights; he also spoke out against poverty and the Vietnam War.
O -he was very brave- he was, in my opinion, a good president
A-he would always have a saying or quote
A-he would look casual or look nice wearing a tie and a  tux.
T- he thought some states should abolish slavery
S-" A lie cannot live."
"I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 0: Video Games, Texting, or Sleeping

According to myself the reason why I sleep in the afternoon is because I am always so busy. I sleep because it makes me feel better rather than staying tired all day so when it comes to the point to do my homework at night I am tired and then go to sleep.
I decide to sleep whenever I have a chance to in between my plans. I enjoy sleeping because like I said before it makes me feel better. In my reflection I think I should sleep more so I don't get tired at night and I actually get to finish all my homework.:)

Academic Language Week 8 - Ten Commandments

I think junk food should not be banned from vending machines because according to myself some students would like a snack sometime like during passing period or whenever you come back from a visit to the doctor and you missed lunch. I also think junk food should not be banned from vending machines in schools because this can also be another way the school can earn money . I think most of the kids would ALTERNATIVELY choose junk food rather than their regular lunch. I also think this because  kids can pick as a STRATEGY anything they want. I also think junk food should not be banned from school vending machines because then they can change the snack from the ones that they had before and not have the same unhealthy ones. This is what I think about junk food being banned.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 8: Friends or Adults?

To me caring adults are more important than friends ,not saying friends aren't important, but I think this because caring adult can also be friends and help you when you need them like when you need a home. I also think this because caring adults can also become your friends and they can also become like your parents. You will also never have arguments or drama like you do with your friends your age. You will also never argue about stupid things like the person you like and who they like. I think that caring adults are more important or better than friends.

Autobiographical Narrative - Innocent to Compassionate - Adult Interview

I interviewed Shaun. He expiered a time a time when he smashed up somebody car. He was 17 when this heppened. He said he wasn't innocent. He thought he did something stupid, he said he  could've killed his  friend, his face went through the windshield , they  had to go to the hospital, his friend had  cuts all over his forehead, Shaun was afraid his friend was going to have scars all over forehead. He said that  if you are going to do something dangerous don't involve someone else.He said he learned to think more criticallly before doing crazy stuff.

Academic Language Week 8 - Ten Commandments

I believe both, the Ten Comandments do and do not belong in schools because most religion categories do not believe in some of the rules and some are not monotheistic. At the same time I do believe the Ten Commandments do belong in schools because kids need to consume what is wrong and what is right. The role that some of the rules play in schools is teaching students not to murder, steal, and more.

Autobiographical Narrative - Innocent to Compassionate Brainstorm

-When I was 11 I was innocent because  I thought telling my friends and social worker that nothing happpened between my step dad and I.
Then I experienced never seeing my mom and my brother again.
This helped me to become compassionate because I  learned that I would never tell anyone anything and and be mature and keep things like this to myself.
-When I was 13 turning 14  I was innocent because I thought life didn't matter - like a time when I used to be rude to my mom and go with my friend and sleepover her house and drink. Then I experienced being in the system and not seeing my mom and missing her everyday … This helped me to become compassionate because I realized that no matter what she will always be there and that I wasted my time doing stupid things rather than being with my mom and brother.
When I was 11 I was fake fighting with one of my friends outside and we accidentally broke my neighbors window. Then I experienced facing her face to face and she was not very pretty. This helped me become compassionate by knowing not to do that again because I didn't like talking to her at all.

Internet Safety Project - Public or Private Profile

I think teenagers should keep their social networking private because then otherwise they can prevent  themselves from the creeps trying to "hang" out with minors. I also think this because then if you do something and you don' t want the whole world to see you can just switch it to private. I also think if someone is posting something they obviously want the world to see if they don't have their profile on private, so if you don't already i recommend you to have your account as private. THIS IS FOR YOUR SAFETY!!! This is what I think about teenagers and keeping their profiles private.

Dragons Den 7: Would You Rather?

I would rather get caught singing in the mirror than spying on my crush. I say this because I really don't have a crush. I am not a very good singer so if I got caught it would be kind of embarrassing but it depends on who saw me or heard me. Who sings to the mirror anyways? That is the question. But anyways if I did have a crush and I got caught spying on them that would be embarrassing but I’m pretty sure I wouldn't be the only one who has done it before. This is what I choose between singing in the mirror and getting caught spying on your crush.

Practice paragraph

I think that yes that the popularity of vapmire's will fade away because it has been used for many books and movies so it is starting to wear out. I think that twilight is the only vampire movie that I like. I think that it would also fade away because the plot is always the same so it is starting to get boring. The factor that these types of things that vampire movies use are now getting older and during time directiors try to change it but it all remains the same. In my opinion the voice of the directors are more non realistic trying to persuade people to watch but it all like I said remains the same and does'nt ever change. This is is what I think about vampires in literature and in movies. I think that vampires will fade away.

"Marigolds" Summary Poem

Ashamed like a hare losing a race.
Behavior is like a little boy wanting ice cream.
Bored like a turtle in a lonely shell.
Brother is vastly inferior.
Compassion leads her a way that she has never been before.
Destroying her neighbors front yard realizing now she is changing, something is different.
Facing Ms.Lottie's she discovers someone she never knew she had inside her.
Father struggles with money while raising his son and daughter.
Flowers are flying everywhere like it is raining petals.
Great Depression, even the little ones felt the pain.
Innocence was once found inside Lizbeth but now is halfway gone.
John Burke son of Ms.Lottie who is hurt by her flowers that are gone.
Lizabeth does not know what to do after hearing that sadly her dad could not find a job.
Marigolds is now gone and so is Ms.Lottie's flowerbed.
Ms.Lottie is facing a girl soon to be adult.
Mother is blue about not finding a Job.
Pebbles are thrown to Ms.Lottie as she races towards them.
Rage is coming from Ms.Lottie.
Regreting the time she threw pebbles at Ms.Lottie.
Sobbing from when she was hit by Ms.Lottie's cane.
Throw the old innocence life you had and become compassionate.

Dragons Den: Campus Donations

What I think about the people that donate things to us is that I am very thankful because they not only help us but use their own money to give us things we would like or need for example the football field or shop til you drop. I think people who do this to give us things that we need are very awesome and giving because without them we wouldn't have a field and we wouldn't have school supplies. This is what I think about people who donate things or money to us.
