English is a class I don't enjoy much. I don't understand it very much, and I forget about topics we learn very fast. I don't remember anything from last year. Our teacher is Mrs. Hill. I'm looking forward to learning and remembing English better then any other year. I want to memorize everything we do, and be good at it.

We are making laws in a Webquest. We are working with paragraphs. SS is also including with English this year, we are combining those two subjects together. In both subjects we will be learning about The Consitution, and things that involves the Legislative Branch, Executive, and Judical branch. We have been learning about all that in SS for awhile but we are now taking it to a farther point including it into our English Class.

Persuasive Writing: To begin writing persuasively, we learned how to effectively argue. We discussed different cases, such as wearing armbands to school and wearing band t-shirts to school. I learned how to argue good and be better at persuasive writing. Eventually, I chose my own topic in order to write a persuasive essay. My main argument was why Iowa State is the best team in Iowa.
Blue Ribbon Ceremony: I chose someone that made a positive difference in my life. In preparation for the Blue Ribbon Ceremony, I decorated a blue ribbon, wrote a 6-word memoir about my guest, and constructed a paragraph describing why and how my guest impacted my life in a positive way. I got to present my guest with these artifacts at the Blue Ribbon Ceremony on Friday, November 16, 2012. My favorite part of this activity was seeing everyone be happy when they got the ribbon, everyone that got it was all happy. Im glad they could be happy knowing that they made a difference in someones life.

The business I chose for this project is Starboard market. My group and I were able to interview Jen Coffman, the owner. One of the most interesting things I learned from the interview was how to set up and interview. I am looking forward to see what the documentary is going to look like.

This week we have been doing things that involve starting a business, we wrote a paragraph about it and how we think we would like it. We are also continuing to go with the business thing, it has been a month long project that me and some of my people in my group have been working on. It has been a fun time learning about all of this.
