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.

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.
