Debate Reflection
In humanities, to take a break from our normal six week long projects, we decided to have weekly discussions, conversations and debates. We wrote a list on the board, mostly current events that we were interested in, and picked from the list what we wanted to debate about. Our first topic was about intervention in Libia. We took a vote about what our current opinion on the topic was and from there...

This time around, we wanted do in projects in only two weeks, which of course, had it’s disadvantages and advantages. Also, everyone chose to do the projects individually. These projects were definitely a big change and in my opinion, I think we still have to get used to this short of a...

Walking up to the stadium all you can hear thousands of screams and baseball cheers You hand to ticket to the man And he puts a souvenir in our hand Before the game starts you buy some snacks Popcorn peanuts and crackerjacks You sit down in your seat and just wait For the game to start before it gets too late The anthem is sung, and it is sung quite well The people around you are starting to smell...

Monkey Business
My second short story this year
I woke up just like any other day. I got out of bed, took a shower and put on my uniform and hat. I grabbed my keys that were hanging up on a hook by my front door and walked to work. The first thing I do in the morning is open the front gates. I stuck my key in the slot and swung open the huge black iron rod gates. Above the gates, I was welcomed by the big sign I...

Civics Project Reflection
A few weeks ago, in humanities, we chose to split up into groups and do a project under the category of civics.

Originally I was in one of the two, two person groups and was paired up with...
Rube Goldberg Reflection
Over the past six weeks in science class we have been studying simple machines, mechanical advantage, and work. We have been working on a big project, we call Rube Goldberg style Inventions.

Before we started the project the class made a list with Carwai of...

Rube Goldberg Update
In science, we have been working on making our own Rube Goldberg machines. I am in a group with Trevor and Sofia and we are hoping to make a machine that blows bubbles. We have tested a lot of things in order to make this work. I think that the thing we need help on now is making the pulley that pulls the sheet of bubbles up and balancing the weight of something else to pull it up. We still have a...
My Fall 2010 Short Story
52 Weeks
Here’s a thought. What if your job changed every week? What if people just rotated professions and switched people out every seven days? That’s interesting. I was bored, sick of my everyday life. I came home everyday feeling like I accomplished nothing. To think I went to four years of college just to be stuck in a crammed space typing away at my computer all day, wishing I was...

This year, the seventh and eighth grade went on a seven day class trip to San Francisco.

When we were first given the cow eye it looked gushy and it was about the size of a golf ball. We started...

I think that the the hardest part of the video making was the preparation process and...
Science: Evolution and Intellignet Design

In this trial there was a council for Evolution and one for Intelligent Design.

Project Shelldrake was one of my favorite things that we have done this year in seventh grade so far. It was definitely an experience that we learned so much from and will never forget.

Now this...
