Lake Compounce

We went to Lake Compounce. It located in Connecticut. We left at 8:45 from the school. It take 45 minutes when they said we would leave at 8:00. The trip was I think 3 hours. I just talked and laughed we everyone. The trip was crazy and I was sick because of all the moving. We watched Harry Potter on are way to the park. The bus ride was so long. I felt very sick on the bus. I didn't like when I go on a car or bus because of the moving.

Once we arrived we chose our group and got our tickets. I was stocked at the park. I ha Sekouba, Alex, Jonas, Victor, Thalia ,Joshua, Ada, Grii, Linda ,saikou,and Mr.Osia. I was with Mr.Osia.I went on the Downtime first.I went with Sekouba, Ada, Linda, Jonas, Saikou.I went also on the wildcat.My favorite ride was the down time. I like the thrill of the ride. I disliked the Wildcat. I disliked the jumping of the car. I hit someone in the head. Only one because he was scared. The only ride was the wildcat. I eat a cheese burger and some French Fries. I liked it very much.

The last ride was the Wildcat.I see people dancing. I hated the bus ride going back to school. We saw Batman Return.I liked the rides.I would go back to ride the other rides. I hope to go back next year.

Angela's Ashes

Poverty affects the character in Angela's Ashes because they have no money and nothing to live with. I think the babies kept on getting sick because they had no food. If I were a parent I would get a job and to everything I could for my children. The thing the mother did wrong in the story was she didn't feed her children and care for them more,she also married a bad man.The father had no job and nothing for the children.

I think they live under these conditions because of they're parents. The thing that can help this family is money and a better life. Yes and it makes me really sad.Yes it much worse they're then in America.

In America people would think that everyone has money but things are much different and some people live much different. For the father to find a job and help out his family.

I-Movie

I really enjoyed working with my group and creating an I-movie. My group was crazy and we had to come and put together many different ways to do things together.The best part of working with a group was coming together and creating our great movie.The most difficult part of creating the I-movie was playing with the music and the talking on the video. I think my group at the beginning we fight but in the end the movie was wonderful. The advice I would give us is to never fight and work together with everyone.

What did we learn form Career Day?

The first presenter I saw was Alba Mota. She works as a social worker and community actives. She told us that been a social worker can be a very important job because social workers help people with problems and issues in they're life. Another thing that she told us was that she solves problems in peoples life like when someone it been hit , and take them out of that place. One of the together I liked about her was she also works as a community actives. When someone has a right to do something but is not allowed for some reason. She goes and helps them have they're right. I really enjoyed her presenting and understand why she chose that job.

The second presenter I saw was Adrienne Austin. She works as a lawyer. She told us that been a lawyer can help out many people. And she works with many cases and people. One thing that she told us was that had 2000 cases. I really enjoyed her presenting another thing I liked was she asked us questions. I hope she comes again next year for career day.

Career Day: Reflaction

Career Day was wonderful we learned many new things about other peoples career. Career day beginning with us having the honor roll luncheon 5Th period at the library. We meet the presenters and talked with them and learned about they're careers.I enjoyed talking and learning about different areas of careers. Also, I liked that we had to dress up and come to school with out uniform. The only career I was interested was becoming a television production for the Food Network. I didn't see the television production but I have always wanted to work for the Food Network. Everyday I see the Food Network and I never get hungry. The careers I want to learn about next year are a firefighter, chef, and police officer.

I - Movie

I really liked using I-Movie and creating the I-Movie for the book monster. I-Movie helps you create your very own small movie. Working with my group and making my movie. They laughed and thought it was really funny. The feedback they give us was that it was really funny and the said it was the second best video. The changes I need to make with my group are the wording, pictures, and my group answering the questions.

I feel that the other videos were great and they worked very hard to make they're I-movie the best that they can.I think my video was good but not the best because we all worked very hard. The groups video that I enjoyed the most was the first group from 702 , because they used good actors and lots of acting. I would tell them to make believe they are a big movie Creator and they are creating they own movies. No, because you need to explain to them what you are talking about before starting.

The things may group need to work on are explain to the people watching the video and we need to talk more.

Why do I have to think about a Career now?

I am thinking about careers right now to have a chance to know about different careers and to have a life goal to reach. Its important for me to have a life goal because it allows me to reach them. Everyone has a dream to do something in life. The project is going to help me reach my goal by teaching me about different careers and to help me chose a career in what ever I chose. I started thinking about my future a long time ago because you should always have a life goal and a career path.


Performing Arts and Music : Interior Designer

Sports : Personal trainer

Steve Innocent or Guilty Who Knows?

I feel that Steve is innocent because from what everyone did and said Steve sound like the one person who did something with out thinking. I think the role he had in this crime is looking out to see if anyone is coming. I think the robbery occurred with them going in to the drug store,yelling , and then shooting the man. First, Steve told them that no one was coming. Then, King and Bobo were auguring asking for money. Last, They killed the poor man who did nothing to them. I do think Steve knows Bobo but not as well as he knows King. I think Steve is friends with people like King and Osvaldo to act like someone he's not.

Our friends influence us very much some people are influenced more by others because of the ways we all think and act. Steve was influenced by his friends to do something that meant get him in jail. No, because I didn't like the idea of fighting and getting in trouble. Its important to chose your friends wisely because they're the ones who make you or break you in the end. I think O'Brien feels like Steve choice of friends is bad because they got him in trouble.

I think Steve is being negatively influenced because he was acting like someone who he is not. Steve has nothing in common with his friends. The difference are that Steve isn't a thug, fat, in a gang, and already in jail for something. I think Steve wants to be like James King because he believes James King is tough and strong.

The things that I already know were that I like to work with people, designing things, listening to music.

Words Yes or No

Words tell us everything and saw us how someone is, the way you explain something saws how powerful Someone is. Yes, I think words can reveal what we think about certain issues because the way we saw is how we feel.O'Brien told Steve the way she felt about the jury and the way she felt they were going against Steve. Petrocelli you can tell doesn't like Steve she even called him a monster for what hee did. Are words tell others what we think and how we feel about something. Its important to choose your words wisely because what ever you say will show someone how you are.

Monster Racism Or Not Way of Life

Yes I think racism still exists today because people even today fight over racism and judge people for they're color. When some people see each other they judge that person for they're color with out knowing that person. No, I haven't ever experienced racism. Yes I think Steve experiences racism because they're are judge him for his skin color .

Yes because people of color are treated much different than people who are white. I think a minority of color should get a fair trial because we are all equal. No because of what they have said about him and they judge him. I think O'Brien feels that the jury was selected to go against Steve. How do you think O'Brien feels about the Jury they selected for Steve's trail?

People are not treated equal when they go to jail or do something bad. Because they are always getting in trouble or something puts them in jail.

Monster My story

Language is very powerful it saws people how we are. People call each other names out angry and because they have nothing better to do. I really only call people names we they make me mad. I do think about how the person feels because I know I didn't like it when people call me names. I see people been called names all the time mostly in school. Yes but I didn't know the person. I know people must feel like why are they been teased constantly when they do nothing and that always starters it.

I think Petrocelli called Steve a monster to be mean and because she wants him to be put in jail forever. The metaphors I use when I call people names are compareing them to insects, bad words , and just menn things. I do feel bad after call people them. I think Steve feels like he is not human.Steve beginning to think about what Petrocelli said to him. Yes at that moment Steve feels like he is a monster for what he did. No I didn't think Steve is a monster because we all make mistakes. I think Steve is innocent for what he did.


I think may be the jury sees Steve as a monster because of Petrocelli. If I were on the jury I wouldn't think is a monster because we all make mistakes. I think Steve named the book Monster to saw how his life then waas like a monster ride.

Aim: How do we solve proportions by using cross products?

Jhoanna Lora


The term cross product can help you to solve a proportion by multiplication the numerator from one ratio and multiplication the denominator from the other ratio. After you can find out what the missing term is and if they're both proportion to each other.


The error in this problem is:
2/3= X/12
2X=36 X=18
The error in this proportion is that they multiplied wrong when they should have multiplied 3 x=12 , you would have left 3x=24 then divide and the answer would have been x equal 8.

6/45 and 2/15
Decide weather each product are proportional:
90/90 They are proportional and they both share the same answer.

Hyperbole

Hyperbole

Hyper boles are really funning and it makes everything sound so crazy. A Hyperbole is a figure of speech which is an exaggeration. Persons often use expressions such as "I nearly died laughing," "I was hopping mad," and "I tried a thousand times." Such statements are not literally true, but people make them to sound impressive or to emphasize something, such as a feeling, effort, or reaction. Two examples of hyperbole that I write were : Your dog is so fat , when he went to the doctor they had to get a whale scale , Your dog is so ugly even Godzilla runs away from him. My most favorite type of figurative language that you have learned so far were idioms, hyperbole, simles , and alliteration.

Idiom's

Today in class we learned about idioms and different type of idioms. An idiom is an expression that has a meaning apart from the meanings of its individual words. One example of an idiom is It’s raining cats and dogs. We created and showed what the different idioms meant. Some type of idiom that I had to show what it meant was Pins and Needles. I really loved learned about idioms but at the beginning I really didn't understand it.

Raining Cats and Dogs
Pins and Neddles

Aim: How do we elevate algebraic expresssion?

Write each expression another way
12x= 12÷x
4/y= 4÷y
3xy/2= 3*x(y÷2)

The difference between a constant and a variable is a variable varies with certain other quantities such as time or with temperature. A constant remains fixed with any variation of other quantities.

The Bronx Masquerade character that I relate to the most

The name of the book we are reading in class is "Bronx Masquerade". The book is about a group of high school students who write poetry and tell each other poems on open mic night. The number of we have meet is 13. The things I like about this book is how everyone decibels the way they are in they're poetry. Everyone show them self through they're poetry. The one thing I dislike about this book is how many bad tryings happen to the people in the story. The characters I relate to the most are Lupe and Dondra.

The one I have in common with both Lupe and Dondra is the problems they have with they father. I have never liked my father my whole life and he doesn't think its right for me to dislike him. Lupe and Dondra are not my favorite characters in the story but they are the ones I can relate to the most. Every time me and my father see each other I just walk away because I didn't want to see him. He has before called me names for not talking to him. The type of conflict does is person V person.


The character I can relate to the least would have to be Gloria Martinez because I'm not going through her problems she has son and goes to school at the same time. Gloria doesn't ever have time for anything, the only person that helps her is her mom. In the book the character I dislike the most would have to be Janelle Battle because she is not conformed with what she has. The type of character I would make for does story is someone who just loves life even after having to go through many problmes. He would be smart, caring,helpful, fun ,brvae and never the least the type of person when you need help he will always be there.

Racism-JhoannaLora

Racism

Racism can be find in everyday life. Everyone can learn racism because its all around us. Racism can be learned but it is not natural. Because your not born was racism you learn racism. I disagree with racism because its wrong to say bad things about a person just because of skin color. I hope for racism to stop one day.

Poetry Poem - JhoannaLora

Poetry Poem


He is like a dry flower
He is never happy
He is never with a smile
He is dry as a rock
When you talk to him he never talks back
His family calls him the black sheep
White like the midnight sky and dark as a flying bird in the night sky
He wants to leave but his mother finds him as her shining heart
To her he is the biting heart that gives her blood


My mom

My mom is my crying heart
She is there when ever I need her
She always has a smile and never says no to walking a mile
In the bad moments she while give you hug
Her hugs are like a warm teddy bear
when she smiles my heart is filed with the sky
Her eyes are like the shining blue sky
I love her so much

Similes and Metaphors

My bull is the silver fish in the river,

My bull is the shimmering crane bird on the riverbank,

My bull is fresh milk!

His roar is thunder to the Turkish cannon on the steep shore.

My bull is a dark rain cloud in a storm.

My bull is summer and winter.

Half of him is the dark storm cloud

Half of him is the dark sunshine.

My bull backs is a shining morning star.

His brow is the back of a horn bill red.

His forehead is a flag, calling the people from a distance.

He resembles the rainbow.

I will water him at the river,

With my spear I shall drive my enemies.

Let them water their herds at the well;

The river belongs to me and my bull.

Drink, my bull, form the river; I am here to guard you with my spear.

Poetry

Poetry is many things to people for some romantic, adventurer,and humor.To me poetry is anything in a poem you can write about anything your life,love,etc.People use poetry to show or write what they are feeling or thinking.You can show what ever in a poem. In my opinion I think people shouldn't write poems about hating and how much you wish bad things should happen to people or someone.Poetry is a way to experience yourself writing. The differnt things that are in a poem are a subject,tone,
theme,diction,imagery, figures of speech,rhythm, and sound.

Racism Poem-JhoannaLora

Racism is like trying to jump from the sky
You never know where you are going
Racism is like trying to find the sky
while saying bye
Whites were mean and never shamed to care
they just wanted to scare
Everyone is one color because we all are one big blender
Black, whites and in all in between
All mixing together like one big piece of pie
We should just come together and say hi

By Jhoanna Lora

Today in literacy class we learned about similes and metaphors.We write poems about racism.My poem is about how all of us come together and mix in as one. Black and whites and all in between we should just be as one. Racism is really bad and to this day we are no as one.

Black HIstory Month- Jim Crow Laws

My name is Jimmy Walker. I live in Austin,Texas with my two sisters and four brothers. My father works as a farm and my mother stays home. I go to school with my two brothers in a school for all black kids. The school is very different combared to white kids school. Our bathrooms are all messed up and the lunch is used sometime to teach,eat,and fight when every a white kid comes in the school. Once when I was going home a group of white kids try'd to tie me to tree. I was saved by my two older brothers.

Every time my family goes out to eat we all have to sit and eat in colored places. I just want everything to change so that we all can live together. Jim Crow laws made it seem like everyone of color was non human. On the bus I always have to sit in the back to let a white person sit in my seat. I always like telling them we all the same but if do I go to jail. I have never been allowed to do the same things as white people like go to the park,public restroom, libarys, and play with the our kids because of my color.

If someone who has to follow the Jim Crow Laws does not follow them that person will get in really big trouble and go to jail. I hope one day to see Austin,Texas with out Jim Crow laws.

Langston Hughes and Jim Crow Laws

Langston Hughes and Jim Crow Laws


Today in literacy class we learned about Jim Crow Laws. Jim Crow laws were laws that didn't allow African America to share with white people. Black couldn't use the same bathrooms as white people. Black people were biting. Lets say if they find a white women in pain the first person who they thought did it were black people. Jim crow laws made it shame like white people were humans and black people were animals.

Jim Crow laws were all about segregating. The main places segregating happened was in the south. In the north everything was so much different people didn't care if you were black, white or any color. As for in the south everything was different if you were color you were treated unfairly everywhere.

I think Jim crow were unfair laws been a person of color and not.Black people were treated like if they were not humans and just dogs. I Martin Luther King Jr. never stooped Jim Crow laws everything would be different.


Langston Hughes was an African American poet. He was famous for writhing poems about life, black people and black culture. Langston was born February 1, 1902 – May 22, 1967. Hughes is known for his work during the Harlem Renaissance.Hughes wanted young black writers to be objective about their race, but not scorn or to flee it. He understood the main points of the Black Power movement of the 1960s.

Black History Month is a remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated annually in most countries worldwide in the month of February. All through February people enjoy and learn all about African American people. I feel that Black History Month is very important and everyone should learn about it because African American people helped us all through history. I would be help learn about anyone like Tiger Woods ,Leroy Jenkins, George W. Johnson, James P. Johnson. In my opinion I think that I know a lot.

I would like to survey the number of people who have visited a supermarket in the last two days. I will sample 100 people who have visited a supermarket.

Random Sample: I would randomly put everyones name in a box and pick. So that everyone has an equal chance of being chosen.

Convenience Sample: I would sample the first 50 people that walk near the fruit corner.

Biased Sample: I would sample all the people coming out of a Chinese supermarket.

Today in math class we learned to use spreadsheets to display data. On our lab tops we created line graphs, bar graphs, circle graph. We created the graphs and write a respond to some questions. First, we used Microsoft Excel to create the graphs, and inserted a chart. Then, we write out the information and created the graph with the information. Finally, I write with graph would appropriate.

I had to figure out between a bar graph and a circle graph. The bar graph displays the student council budget better. The reason is because the bar graph shows the amount and compares how much the student council budget was spent on each. The reason the circle graph does not display the data better is because a circle graph shows a set by dividing it and the graph didn't give amounts.
The appropriate graph between a line graph , and a bar graph. The appropriate graph that displayed the data of the student council budget better is a bar graph because a line graph shows the frequency of values over time. The bar graph displays and compares the data.
