Water Project Week #2

My partner and I have made a bit more progress at the moment. We've sold a few items such as custom made notebook covers ($8.) Right now, my partner and I are trying our best to post more on our Instagram store, selling homemade items, and to sell/make more items. If you have an Instagram, please follow and shop at @waterprojectsasstore. We are still trying our best and our goal is still the same. We're hopping we can accomplish this in time for the due date. We're also trying our best to update the website. I hope we can accomplish it in time!

"Later" By Avis Harley

Poetry can tell stories, or just information. A word we won't stop using is "Later" we use it when we get lazy and when we don't want to do something. With this word, we keep on procrastinating until the last minute. In "Later," Avis Harley tells a story about a kid who was meant to search the word "procrastinate" up, but ends up procrastinating and doing it later.

To begin with, Avis Harley uses details to help you create images in your head by using different words we don't really use often (like "bleak".) Another thing the author does is that instead of having Procrastinate in quotation marks, he makes procrastinate like this: PROCRASTINATE. With this action, it really hooks my attention, since its the only word formatted like that.

Later, Avis Harley also makes each paragraph a different time of the child's schedule. In the middle paragraph he talks about how the child spends his time after school with friends and that he doesn't have time to check the word out, while in the last paragraph they end the poem with what he does at night, making him to check out "PROCRASTINATE" next week.

In the end, even though this poem doesn't have a very serious meaning, but it does have a fun meaning. I chose this poem because I could really relate to the situation with wanting to be lazy and doing things later. It shows that Avis Harley really knew how readers could relate to this poem, and left us maybe thinking that we shouldn't always do things later.

The Water Project Week #1

This week my partner, Renee and I started working on our water project. The goal for our water project in science is to buy a well from Tabitha and to raise awareness about the sanitation of water in developing countries. To reach this goal, we will make a website and give off information about the water crisis in developing countries. To raise money to buy a well for those developing countries, we will have a bake sale and start an Instagram store selling homemade items, to get enough money to buy one or two wells. Throughout the process we will be blogging about our process/progress in this project, if you want to see more progress and information here is the link. Check it out, and help the water crisis!

Social Studies Digital Presentation

This is a digital video/presentation that Heleen and I worked on in Social Studies class about the ancient Greek fashion of the Social Classes. The process went a little like this, we researched about the fashion of the classes, then we started it on a Google Presentation, then we did a voice over for the whole presentation on iMovie. We hope you learned about the many fashion styles of the social classes in ancient Greece. Enjoy!

Measles Project

Microorganisms in Pond Water

In science, we were able to use microscopes to look at microorganisms in pond water. In the first video below, it shows an up close view of worms in the water. The second video below, shows an up close view of the air bubbles and the algae in the turtle pond water.
