Project Time

I got my third book. I will be reading How Can I Talk If My Lips Don't Move? By Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay. This book is full of many little stories that Tito wrote about himself. By reading his adventures I will be able to see how Tito's life is like. I have read the first couple of pages and it's pretty good, because what I'm reading comes straight from his head. I'm almost done with my project page and its due on Monday. Also I have to start my abstract because it's due on Wednesday hopefully I finish it quick. I basically have so many things to do first is to finish my book so then I can do my abstract and wrap up my project page. I really don't want to get in the stage of stressing out because it's not good; I'm trying my best to do a lot but slowly.

Half Working Half Sad

The first half of this week I was working really hard getting all my project things together, but then my grandpa died. I haven't done no school homework this is the first thing I'm doing because I wasn't able to write a blog on Friday since I left to Mexico. This has been one of the worst experiences I have ever been through but it has also made me strong and want to keep going forward and make my mom and grandpa happy. If I can remember I never got my third book so I haven't been able to read that but I did got some articles that Stephanie, I forgot her last name but she works with Anthony, gave to Stephanie our teacher. I haven't been able to take a look at them but I will asap so the articles can be added to additional resources. I know I'm really behind I'm going to try my best to keep working on this project and at the same time being there for my mom because it's been really hard for her. I thank all my teachers for understanding my situation and I'm looking forward to see you guys tomorrow.

Back to School

Well during this week we got to finish our work for the Twelfth Night project. I got to work with Shanynthia we got to create a children book about a couple of scenes. The book covers Act 1, scenes 2, 4, the end of 5 when Viola comes in, and Act 2 Scene 2. The text is still the same from the play. I enjoyed coloring and drawing the pictures in the way I see them in my head. Today we got to see the presentations of my classmates as well. I have to say that Sam's made my day it was really funny. I also liked the visual presentation of Alex. We didn't get to see everybody's but we will when we get back. Also I need to get back to working on my inquiry project during spring break my mentor from volunteership told me about a show called Jenks World something like that I don't quite remember. The show is made by a guy named Andrew Jenks and every week he tries to spent time with people to get to know how their daily life is like. When I heard that he has done an episode of an autistic guy I went ahead and watched the episode and it was the perfect show ever for my project, because he was answering the question that I'm looking for. I feel really good about the answers that I have gotten. I'm not sure what book I'm reading next but that decision has to be made asap.
