Posters in the Hall

Today in class, many students created posters of inspirational quotes to share in the hall. However, the students in Study Hall noticed that many of the quotations are from White men even though the people reading the posters are very diverse. We think this is odd. Do you think it is wrong that SPA students just post the words of Caucasian men in our halls? Why or why not?

I do think it is wrong for our campus to post quotes that are mainly from Caucasian men and women. The reason is because I think that many of our students only know people that are famous because we mainly focus on American history instead of other people that are famous for example Tupac Shakir, Biggie Smalls, and Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta. I think that many students in our school need to look deeply into other people other then people that are recognized in educational books. I understand that many people don't really care what I might have to say but many places where mostly one race is residing at like barrios, or the hood maybe a reservation for example. I just think that we should look at unity more on this campus. Also, I think that we should have a ethnicity group on our campus like we can possibly have different races come together and talk about our background. We should have all of the quotes scrabbled up so that there wont be a whole cluster of white peoples quotes, instead it would be a groups of different races.

UnGoogleable Research Paper – Website Evaluation Tips

Who did you interview? One of the adults that I interviewed was Kyle Conwell from the tech center. What did he/she say? He told me that the way that he figured out wheather or no the website is accurate he would look if it was published my a Teacher or a scientist. The other person I interviewed was Paul (works for N.A B7). He told me that the way that he would figure out if the website is a reliable source he would check the publication of the website, making sure that it isn't false facts. The last person that I interviewed was a junior Tre aka Twin. He told me that the way he would figure out if the website was a good website for a research paper he would make sure the facts on the website is legit and not opinions. The advice that I obtained from the people that I interviewed will help me a lot in the long run by, double checking on the website making sure it is a reliable source. Special thanks to all the people that I interviewed I really appreciated it.

CST Testing Reflection

This week we had CST testing, which in my opinion were LAME.... Just kidding. First test that I took was the English/ Language Arts portion which was pretty easy. The next day I crashed on my testing I think because I didn't have a quite good nights rest. Another reason was because I had around 5 sodas that morning to wake me up and I guess I crashed from all of the sugar I drank. I still think that I got around a passing grade on the Algebra 1 test. Lastly I had the easy peezy World History exam which to me was EASY. Literally I think I got at least above average because all of the stuff I was questioned about it turned out that I have learned a lot about it without noticing myself learning about it. Overall my testing was pretty fun other then the teacher Mrs. Morris she was absolutely.... nicest teacher that anyone can ask for. The reason I wrote this is because she brought mint for us I know it is not the the best candy in the world but we wont be able to say that to her because she is old school (other then computers). Thanks to my teachers for helping me get ready for the test by teaching me the right materials that I needed to learn. But I think testing doesn't really help and that's my opinion so don't come yelling at me please..

Testing Tips, Strategies, and Plays Reflection

Knowing about testing tips, and strategies are good for testing because when you are on a very hard question you can do the plays which are: SURE THING POINTS, GOTTA WORK POINTS, PLAY FOR POINTS, AND GUESS POINTS. Those are the plays which help a lot that I learning in the last few days. Like for example today I had a quiz in Ms. Emily's class and I did the plays and I think I passed but I know that I did really good on it. My opinion is that tips for test taking are the best to make sure that you are going to pass the test.

My Feelings about the Upcoming CSTs

My feelings of the upcoming CST aka STAR testing are okay I guess. I am happy that school is coming to an end. I feel proud of myself because I am working my butt off to make sure that I dont fail any of my classes this quarter. Which means that I am going to get a high percentage on this test because
I am not going to just blow this test off.

Free Choice Blog Post

On my free choice blog post I will be writing about my incident that happened on the softball field when I was trying to demonstrate the girls softball team how to do a slide. I got ready to do my slide. I was wearing shorts and a weight lifting shirt with the sides cut off. So I got ready on third base and when they told me to go I ran to home and then when I slide my shorts went up to my butt and I got a major wedgie and everyone saw my right butt cheek. When I got up I was in pain and everyone including me were laughing our butt off. It was fun I got a couple of scratches though but on the bright side I got better at my slides because I usually miss time my slide.

Playwrights Project Inspired by Music Paragraph

In class today we listen to music and tried to produce a scene out of what you think the music was. At first I thought it was boring then when I closed my eyes it struck me and I loved to write about what I though from the music. While I listen to the first 2 songs I thought about a broken love then the next song I thought about a journey then all of a sudden a evil casted on the girl that was doing the journey. When we were done I really wanted to keep working on it because it got me stuck to the music. I loved what we did it was awsome.

Third Quarter Awards Review

On Friday, we had a awards ceramony and was really bored because it was in the auditorium during 5th period. All of the main faculty of the campus were there giving props and giving awards out left and right. A part of the asembly that I liked was when Mrs. Taylor went up and recognized all of the Key Club members and we got a certificate of membership. I hope the next award ceremony will be more exciting because I will be getting called up from right to left. So it was a okay assembly but other then that it was boring jkjjkjkj.

UnGoogleable Already Know Paragraph

My question is why does love hurt? There is a little that I know about my question.

1. Love hurts because you give up everyone for that one person.
2. Love hurts because you give your whole heart to the person.
3. Love hurts because you get attached to that person.
4. Love hurts because you think everything going to be fine but something might happen and it doesn't turn out to be fine.
5. Love hurts because you gave all this trust into the person and next thing you know they cheat on you.
6. Love hurts because you have to find out stuff from friends instead of the person.

Those are most of the things that I know but I hope to find out more about my question.

“Switch” Play Audience Member Experience

I didn't quite go to the play because I had some technical difficulties about my appointment schedule but instead of going I did the next best thing. I talked to some of my peers that did go to the play. They told me that the play was a fantastic heart breaking emotional story. They were crying from shoulder to shoulder. Instead of just crying during the whole play they noticed that most of the parts were similar to their positions in life. They noticed that they have been acting like it is the end of their life. It was possible that even though that you were take in away from your family, it doesn't mean that you just give up it means that you have a chance to start all new in his or hers life time. I believe from what I have comprehended that every year every foster kid should be able to go watch this play in the theater.

Who Cares

Who cares when you smell a scent from a mile away.

Who cares when you won a cent from a blue deer that happened to fall in a hole.

Who cares when you wear two weak knots in your hair.

Who cares when you buy a rats tail that was sewed on Britney Spears.

Who cares when you wait in a line to check you’re weight for your job.

Who cares when you rowed for a whole day when the wind and dirt blew in your eyes.

Who cares if Obama sent Mars a peace offer.

Who cares whether or not you write with your right or your left.

I care but nobody knows.
