This week in the Academy we started this pretty cool project in art. We are making short videos describing all of the different things we do in ILA and how it’s all constructed. I’m not that great and am really horrible at making videos but I’m willing to try my best. Once I heard that these were being sent to all of the 8th grader from all the different feeder schools for arrowhead I was very excited because I now a lot of them from Merton and am hoping that mine goes there. I really want to show them what the academy is all about because I now some of them will really enjoy it and if it’s around next year, they will probably join. In ILA English this week we were still reading the book Of Mice and Men. I usually don’t like reading books, especially the ones that we get assigned from teachers at school. Usually because they are really boring and what they are about, don’t really interest me. This book is totally not like that. It’s so interesting and I just want to keep reading. I like how easy to read it is. The swearing sort off weird cause I’ve never read a book with this much in it. I’m almost done with the book and am looking forward to how it turns out in the end. I think I have a pretty good idea but lots of people say that the endings exactly what you wouldn’t think would happen. In social studies this week we were working on our "Think Globally, Act Locally" projects. I’m really far behind on it and am working my butt of to try to finish it before Monday. I’m not exactly learning anything from doing this project. Most projects I’ve done in here I haven’t learned that much from. After this long break we are going to be starting a project with these projects. I’m sort off curious on what we’re going to be doing. On Wednesday for science we presented our skits. I thought they went pretty well, except for the fact that I couldn’t hear anything that they were saying. I thought some of the groups did a great job with their props and with their enthusiasm as they were reading of their scripts. I thought that we did a pretty good job, thought maybe we could have had better acting skills as in not reading of our script the whole time. Also we could have practiced it a little more than just once before we presented and also our props could have been better. Now we have to write a paper on all of the different scientist when I couldn’t get anything out of the skits. This is going to be very difficult but I’m going to have to make the best with the info that I already have. This is really pretty much just information on the JJ Thompson theory which is the guy that I studied.
