Week #10

This week has been a taught week, but I'm still alive. So for English class I had my presentation last week, we turned our abstract, and finished our third book. My presentation was cool I liked how my class helped me by writing negative or positive feedback about love. I talked about my three books and how they helped me find the answer to my question. When I got to the sources I told them how my question changed a little bit. I was no longer looking at the characters and how they make the story be so lovely. I made a turn into seeing how much the author puts himself into the story. One of my sources was an autobiography about Nicholas Sparks, this source helped me the most. Just by reading about Sparks I noticed how much of himself is being applied on his books. I wished I had more time on the presentation to explain my books better but I didn't want to bored the class. Also I liked how my abstract turned out I liked the conclusions I came up with and my personal reaction. I really enjoyed this project a lot because I got to learn about something that I was interested on learning. The History Of Love ended really nice I liked the book but not as much as Nicholas Sparks books. Semester one has ended we get a break but when we come back we start working again.

Week #9

This week and last week have been really busy. We been working on all 3 period projects and getting ready for presentations and finals. For English class we just finish our mini grammar project. My partner and I created a poster about mechanical errors on quotation, and we presented them yesterday. I'm still reading my book "The History of Love" and once I'm done I can finish my abstract. The abstract is about the three books we read and other sources we got to help us answer our essential question. One of my sources is an autobiography of Nicholas Sparks, which has helped me answer my question the most. Another source I got is a video about Nicholas Sparks who is being interview about his books in general. I been gathering quotes by Nicholas Sparks that will help me for my project. The book is really interesting because it's different from the other books that I read. It helps me to see the connection the reader makes with the characters. For my project I will be making a poster with a heart, and for my presentation the audience is going to help me write down negative and positive that describe love. Then I will be applying what I have learned to each thing that we have written on the poster. Good idea or no?

Blog Week #8

This week we started a mini project and I started on my third book. We also creating an abstract writing for the books that we have read. The mini project is about the most grammatical mistakes done by people our age. We have to create a poster that shows us how to memorize the grammar so we won't make the same mistake again. My partner and I got mechanical error with a quotation. We got some few ideas but I have no idea what we would be creating. I'm thinking of doing math equations. For example, period(.) + quotations("") = (" . ") period inside the quotations. We are not sure if people would understand it but its pretty much straight forward. We learn where the punctuation goes visually so seeing it one a math equation can work. Well that what we have so far. For my third book I'm reading The History of Love by Nicole Krauss. I have just read the first 20 pages and so far it's fine and weird at the same time. I have a feeling it’s going to be different from the other books I have read but let’s see what I get out of it. I forgot about the last project we have before next semester starts. Once I’m done answer my essential question I have to represent it either through a poem, video, artwork, etc. I’m not sure what I’m going to do but I’m pretty sure it’s going to be some art piece. Well to be honest I haven’t thought about it good, but it seems like its going to be hard to come up with something.
