Factory Game Reflection 2

I was sick so I couldn't do it.

Factory Game Reflection 1

As our factory game today, we had to make a present for our younger siblings with nothing but paper, glue, and markers. It wasn't hard, but it didn't turn out to be too attractive as a factory made product. This showed us that it is a lot harder to actually take the time and make a gift, like people did before the Industrial Revolution. Now, we can just go to a store and buy a factory made gift and no one takes the time to make a gift. The paper toy wasn't as neat of nice as a product sold in a store would be because my coloring, glueing, and cutting isn't that great. Overall, the activity was fun.

Roller Coaster Ride

There it was right in front of me, the most enormous, scariest, contraption I had seen. A roller coaster. How could anyone expect me to get on a 50 meter tall ride that would take me through hundreds of twists and turns even making me go upside down? I looked up at the people already on the ride screaming and shouting and the butterflies that were already in my stomach doubled. Then I felt someone pull at my arm, it was our turn to ride the roller coaster. I slowly trudged up to the ride and got in my seat, unaware of all the people around me, feeling more and more nervous every second. Suddenly with a sickening jerk, we started to move and with all the wind screaming in my ears I could hardly hear my own shouting. We were going so fast that I thought I would fall off any minute and I tightened my grip on the handle until my hands felt sore. Now, we were going over millions of twists and turns, up and down, left and right, until finally we jolted to a stop. I felt half sick as I stumbled out of our cart and walked on to the ground. My hands still ached and my head felt so dizzy that I was surprised I hadn't fallen down yet.
"Well, how did you like that?" My friend asked, bringing me back into focus.
I looked at her for a while, and then smiled, " That was fun, lets do that again!"

Necessity is the Mother of Invention

Necessity is the Mother of Invention

Necessity is the need of something, an invention is a creation, and a mother gives birth. So, this quote states that the need of something is the birth of creations. This basically means that when we need something, it is created for our pleasure. When humans need something, we can just create it.

For example, Wilbur and Orville Wright created the plane so that we could travel long distances in a shorter amount of time. Now, because of them, we can go across countries, continents and even oceans in less than a day. Another example is Alexander Graham Bell who created the first telephone. He created a telephone so we could communicate with people without actually talking to them in person. It’s because of these great inventors, and the necessity humans have for creations that we now have the pleasure of getting work done in a faster and easier way.

How I Learn Best

I learn best visually, when I can see something happening. When I can see something in front of me or I can read it, it sinks in better than when I listen to something. Usually when I do something, or listen to something I'll remember it for a while then probably forget it. I can remember information and learn best by visually looking at something. I think for me to learn most effectively I just need to read something or have it in front of me so I can see it. Pictures, videos, reading, and showing are all ways that I will learn best and retain the information.

Quarter one feedback and goals

1) What were two highlights from the first week of school?
For me, one highlight was to get to meet all my friends after a long time, and also to get to meet my new teachers. The other highlight was that I had a lot of fun and I have great classes and teachers.
2) What was your first impression of Humanities?
My first impression was that it was going to be a fun class because I have a lot of my friends in the class and I'd had Mr. Coyle before and I know he's a really great teacher. I also like humanities, so I knew it would be a good year.
3) What are two goals you have for this quarter in Humanities?
I want to learn to be a better writer because writing is something that I like and I really want to learn how to improve. I also know that this year there will be a lot of writing assignments in my classes, so I think improving my writing will help. I also want to get better vocabulary or learn how to use better, less ordinary words because that is something I'm not very good at.

My Gang

My gang consists of six people. First of all are my best friends, Neha, Deepika, and Nikhil who live America. Their in my gang because I've known them my whole life and they have always been there for me. We do everything together and we can tell each other everything. All of them have been with me through the ups and downs of my life and I can always count on them. They really know how to make me laugh.
I have three gang members in India. First is Niki, she's in my gang because she's a great friend. She really knows how to make me laugh and can really brighten my day when I feel down. Next is Tara V, she is always there for me and I know I can tell her anything. My third gang member in India is Sarah, she's in my gang because she is a great person to be with and has an awesome sense of humor. I can go to her when I want someone to talk to and we can have conversations for hours. These are the six people in my gang that I know I can always count on.
