I learned about air pollution that we have to try to clean up the air so others can breath well. You have to stop smoking, and no litering.

6/2/09- Angela's Ashes

The babies in the book kept getting sick because they don't got anything to eat. If I were the father I would not waist the money on alcohol. The mother shouldn't keep having babies than they would keep dying and dying so that was a bad thing to do. The father shouldn't drink on Eugene's coffin and he got to stop being alcoholic so that was a bad thing to do.

I think this family live under these conditions because the father can't find a job because he is limerick. This family should go somewhere else where they can find a job. I don't know family that live in poverty like this. The poverty in Ireland is worst than in America because you can't get a job in Ireland because you're limerick and in America you can.

The advice I would give to this family is to move somewhere else they can find jobs and have money for hospital and school.

IMOVIE BLOG- 6/1/09

It was very cool and fun working with my group. The best part was when we recorded our voices and when we made our beats for the movie. The worst part of working alone is that you're not going to have a lot of idea. The most difficult part of creating our I-MOVIE is that my group and me kept messing up in our recordings and we had to do it over and over again. I think my group did good job on working together. I would give an advice to others that they have to put more questions to their video.

3 Jobs

5/5/09

Top 3 jobs I decided to pick were professional athletes, lawyer, judge.

Professional athletes:

As I noticed I looked for finding jobs for my future. I found out that professional athletes get payed good and very well. For each game professional athletes play, like boxers, baseball players, football players, and basketball players can earn millions for each game. Professional athletes play in front of an audience and get paid for it. Professional athlete still get paid even thought they get an injury or something else like that.

Pilot:

Before pilots take off they plan their flights very carefully. Flying does not involve much hard physical work. Pilots can feel a lot of stress because they know that they are responsible for the safety of their passengers.

Lawyer:

Lawyers need a license from the State in which they want to work. To get a license, people need to get a college degree and then go to law school for 3 years. Even after they start working, lawyers need to keep on learning about changes in the law.

Why do I have to think about a career now?

Christian Nunez

I have to think about my career starting this grade because I have to think about what I'm going to do in the future and what I'm going to be. I'm thinking about career right now because sooner or later I'll be in college already, is around the corner. It is important because if you don't work on your career by now you will be in the streets picking up cans. I think this project is going to help me because is helping us to do pick things about our careers. Since I started working on this future I started thinking how does it feels like having a good future instead of a bad future.

I think Steve is innocent because mostly he haven't been involved in so much things. I think Steve only stoled like cigarettes, but didn't murder. I think the robbery occurred because Osvaldo and rest convinced Steve to do it so he can get in trouble not the rest. I think Steve doesn't know Bobo because Bobo said he just wanted to use Steve for witness so if someone goes in the store while they robbing. I think Steve is friend with King and Osvaldo because he thought they wasn't going to point fingers at them while in court, but now he's really not friends with them both only a little.

Steve was influenced by his friends because maybe they said they was going to pay him half of the robbery. I never been in a situation like Steve and never want to be. It is important to choose your friend wisely because you can't just trust on anyone. I think O'Brien feels mad because he never knew Steve was going to pick those kind of friends.

I think Steve is negatively being influenced by his friends I think Steve is not like that. He mostly don't have nothing the same as his friends. Steve is a Monster and the rest are Thugs and Liers. Steve doesn't want to be like James he thinks James King has a worse behavior than him.

I feel racism still exist because I always hear people talking about their colors. Racism exist in different type of ways like their color, where they from, and etc. I have never experienced racism only one ways when someone said something about where I'm from. I think Steve Harmon experienced racism because in jail without knowing him they considered him as monster by his colors and he is on trial for murder.

I think their is racism in our country court. A minority can get a fair trial because it's not fair having that for elders and then minors will be doing very bad things. I think Steve Harmon can get a fair trial because he murdered. I think he feels good because he I think he considered that as fair trial.

Some people feel that our country's court is racism because people be racism sometimes. I feel that their is more black people then in college because some people consider others to not go to college just go and buy things with the money instead of using it for college.

The language that we use is very powerful to be saying names to people. People call each other names sometimes to start problem or to make someone feel bad. I call people names when they say names to me or sometimes I say name to them, not really most of the times. I feel that some people just ignore when they call them names, but some feel very bad and offended. I most of the times hear and see people being called a lot of names. There is a boy in my school that is always being teased of being gay. People also feel like hitting other if they are being teased like 10 times a day, or more, or less.

Petrocelli called Steve a monster because he is considered for murder and stealing cigar rates and he don't really care about it.
Mostly when people are being called names they mostly put fat in it, stupid, or retarded. Steve feels sometimes upset about being called a monster or something he just ignores it. After he is called a monster he talks back or sometimes he don't like I said. I think Steve doesn't feel like a monster. I think Steve is a monster because he should have care about what he did and try to get a new life. I think Steve is guilty for doing things he not supposed to do.

I think the jury don't sees Steve as a monster. If I was in the jury I wouldn't considered Steve as a monster or else he will feel offended and try to murder again. Steve titled his book monster because he knew lots of people was calling him a MONSTER!

Hyperbole

I learned that hyperbole is when you over exaggerate something. Example of an hyperbole is like this; You so hairy you got dread lox on your back. Another Example is like this; You so fat when you scale yourself, the scale says "To be Continue". People use hyperboles because they want people to let people know more about his subject. The hyperbole that I mostly use every day is about the food that they give in my house after I come from school. The best figurative language that I have learned so fast is hyperboles. This is my favorite figurative language because I like exaggerating a lot of things.
what I learned about hyperboles?
What are they? Give me an example of two hyperboles that you made up. Why do people use hyperboles? What are some hyperboles that you use daily (think about it)? What is your favorite type of figurative language that you have learned so far? Why is this your favorite?

Proportion

4/3/09

Aim: How do we solve proportions by using cross products?


The term cross product can help you remember how to solve a proportion, by dividing the product by the number.

Example:
2 x
___ = ___ ; 2x = 36; x =18.
3 12

He did this problem wrong because if you cross multiply you're going to get 3x= 24. If you subtract 3 from 24 you're going to have 21. So he put x= 18, but it was x= 7. I know x=7 also because 21÷3 is 7.


Problem:
6 2
___= ___
45 15

15 • 6= 90 , 45 • 2= 90 So it's 90 = 90 This problem is Proportional.

Poem

You must be a young lady name Lou
Who would sit at a desk eating stew
You might think I would say
You can come home anyway
And ill watch two raccoons at the zoo

Summer

Summer
Hot like a fireball on your face
Where kids can play
People can go to beaches and have some fun
Where they can run just like the sun
Other people don't like summer
But I think in summer people can ride hummers
Waves in the beaches splashes very high
People almost think they about to fly
People can ride hummers
but it really sounds like drummers
Running in the hot
Sweating, but people already want to take a shot

Quizes

Paragraph 1: The math exam part 1 was really easy. No I didn't find it difficult because i knew some of the questions in that test. Part 2 was difficult . Part 2 was more difficult than part 1 because in part 2 we had to explain and it had difficult questions. I think on the math exam I had a 3. It took me 5 minutes before it was time to finish the test. I went over my answer because I wanted to know if I was sure with all my answers.

Paragraph 2: I feel I did fine because I got an 25 out of 30. I think it wasn't a hard part on the quiz except for the ones I got wrong. In the poetry quiz today I think I did fine too. I found most difficult when we had to underline the figurative languages and put it on which one is it. I think my grade will be about a 85%. I do feel like I was ready for this quiz today because I already knew almost all of the figurative language.

How do we evaluate expressions?

3/13/09
MATH

Today in math class I learned how to evaluate expressions.

A variable is when a letter represents a number that can vary.
A constant is a number that cannot change.

The difference between a variable and a constant is that a variable can change and a constant cannot.

10 Line Poem

Baseball

I was in the park playing baseball with my friends
He thought I wasn't going to hit the ball when I was batting
Pitcher pitched the purple ball
"BAM" I hit it
I hit the ball like it was the first time I hit it
It was a long meter hit
My head was screaming at me "YAY"
My friends were surprise because I was 5 years old that time
I thought I was going to be a good play from that day and on
After that day I was a good player like some of my friends

2/23/09

Over the break all I did was go outside and play. I also went shopping over the break, but it was still boring. I had a bad break because I didn't do anything only go outside to play and go shopping. I think the break went by very fast. For the break I wish I could have go to a club or restaurant and have fun with my family. I went shopping, I can't do that during school weeks because I don't got time by doing my homework and everything else. Now that im back to school im looking forward most to study more math and get ready for the math test. I missed my friends and my laptop.

Poem of Jim Crow

Jim Crow is a bad law,
Because Blacks dont get to do anything at all.
White People have rights to do anything,
Not like Blacks who get abused and arrested.
In buses Whites sit in front and Blacks in back,
Blacks felt offended except for Whites.
Blacks and Whites go to different schools,
But White command more things them what they do.
If a Black person go to a white school,
The Black person will get murdered and killed.
Growing up by 1950's like Malcolm X was a bad thing,
You would be treated Unequally just like he did.

Jim Crow

2/9/09

I learned about Jim Crow and about what happened by the 1950's. Jim Crow laws are that black and white have to go to different schools, they can't be in the same school. Blacks have to sit in the back of the bus and whites have to sit in the front of the bus. I think they felt non-noticed before that law. I think Malcolm X felt very good because he started to know that blacks weren't scare after Malcolm X gave his speeches. I think white people fought threw Jim Crow laws.

Langston Hughes was the guy who wanted to put black and white together so they wouldn't be enemies. Life started to get a little better because some people started to know it wasn't good what they were doing. The poem I read about today was called "Merry-Go-Round". I think black people got it easier right now than in 1930's because they know everything. Black people now have rights because when Langston Hughes grew up they didn't.
I feel sad because people wasn't never together so much and white people had privileges to do anything and blacks didn't. Langston Hughes fought against Jim Crow laws because he wanted black people to have privileges just like white. Shirley Chisholm fought against Jim Crows laws by giving speeches about trying to protect blacks. Malcolm X did almost the same thing like Shirley Chisholm. Martin Luther King gave a lot more speeches and people started to get used to it and know things about it. If people never spoke against segregation our life would have been ruined and we would have got killed very easily.

Black History- Shirley Chisholm

I learned some things about Shirley that she ranned for president. I watched 2 videos about Shirley speech. I feel happy about Shirley because she was brave enough to talk about black history. Yes I would like to learn more things about Shirley Chisholm.

I think Malcolm X feel very happy about Shirley Chisholm because she spoke very brave just like Malcolm X and she wasn't scared to speak. I would like to learn most about Rosa Parks. I learn some things about Black History of Malcolm X and Shirley Chisholm.

I think blacks were treated a little more respected because she ran for president and was the first African American women who ran for president. I can name 2 women who ran for president and they are Shirley Chisholm and Hilary Clinton. She is important to history because she was brave and talked about lots of things and was the first African American women who ran for president.

Black History- Malcom X

I learn lots of things about Malcolm X and black History. I watched videos about Malcolm X talking about the KKK. I feel Malcolm X wasn't scared of the KKK and he had to make people not be scared of them and fight them. I would like to learn more about Malcolm X and his speeches.

I feel sad because lots of things KKK did to lots of people. I would like to learn more about Martin Luther King, I know a lot of Martin Luther King, but I want to learn more about him. I only know a little about black History.

I never read any poems about written by a Black author and I would like to read some. I never seen any poem written by a Black person and I would like to see that. I really like writing poems, but I like it when it got rhyming in it.

Aim: How do we use spreadsheet to create graphs?

Date: 2/2/09



If you are doing graphs on lose leaf , now you don't have to do it on lose leaf. Now if you have a laptop you can tell your teacher to use "Microsoft Excel". In Microsoft Excel you can do circle graphs , bar graphs, line graphs, and others. First click on the Microsoft Excel then save it as anything you want. When you get there you can do anything. For Example, do your bar graph then highlight it. Click on view, then Toolbars. After clicking on toolbars press Standard, Formatting, then Chart. There they will show you your graph and you can look at it lots of different kind of ways.
Microsoft Excel helped me learn a lot of things about graphs, circle graph, and more. You can even put different colors to your graphs. I made a circle graph and a bar graph when I first used Microsoft Excel. The first day you use Microsoft Excel you can learn lots of math.
