Assignment 21!!!

4: The four most interesting things about my topic were: I liked researching about the telephone, I also loved how we found out about the first words spoked through the telephone. Iksha and I also liked finding how thecamers looked back then, they were so intereting. Amrita liked talking about the sewing machines to the judge, All I know is she didnt talk that much, but itleast she tried !!!

3: Im proud of how much information Iksha was saying to the judges and the people, and really proud of it. Even thaugh I couldent really understand what she was saying I could tell she was saying alot! Im also really happy that more peaople came to learn about it then I expected, and little kids were actually asking questions about it. Im also happy that I really didnt have to say much, cause Iksha knew most of the text by heart, i just liked saying the speaches about the telephone and what the needles and thred were made out of for the sewing machines.

2: One of the things that made our poster really good was the title, and the seccond thing was how good Amrita and Iksha cut out all the pictures and texts and glued it onto the colourful backgrounds, our poster was really colourful !! :)

1: One thing that we should work on in the future to make it a better history fair is mabie we could go to the kids and like say : Would you like to learn about ...... da da da....... and then its like making them want to come, kind of like hipnatizing them !! Even thaugh all the grade 8's wont be here next year, these are good techneekes the grade 7's could use when they go off to be grade 8's next year.

assighnment 18, soles presentation!

I wasent here on the soles presentation because i was frely ill and my stomache hurt, but my group is: connor, hannah,mateen and me(charlotte)
our group presentation topic was : facebook privacy,
and we did a very good job researching our parts, as you can see my part got taken out for some variable reasons (i wasent here)
I hope you likes\d there presentation , they worked really hard:)

assighnment 17, the slam!

a) I learned from Greg and Beth Anne that a poem does not have to rhyme it should just have a few stanza's. Also you should try to put some emothion and actions in your poems.

b)In inspiration for my poem I used a song i made up for the first part and then the song Silent night kept coming in my head so I was writing about god and stuff.

c) Im proud of the detailed words I used.

d) I felt kind of nervous.

e) At the end I thaught I did well so I was proud, but the comments I got wasent very good; like I should of been louder, so I guess I did'nt feel good before or after .

f) I would change my voice, I would be  much louder, and change some of the stanza's.

Amen:(my poem): Honestly baby we are meant to last,
stormsand, sunshine
we've been through the worst and the best,
theres more to come, but it would be impossible with you not by my side.
So live with me in the water,
we can soak, it wont matter
so let us pray, to us we say:
god look at us here we are,
we've been here since the shepards quake at midnight rise
and all the people look at us and says; are they drowning?
but no we are not drowning we are simply soaking, soaking in water
but when the water is all dryed up it will straightly go to dust
(sparklydush, colourful dust, soft dust)
dust that wont fade away when you throw it,
but dust that will go up to heaven and bring them a noteof what we wanted you(god) to look at
So as I repeat; Honestly baby we are meant to lat,
stormsand,sunshine
we've been through the worst and the best,
theres more to come but it would be impossible with you not by my side
so love forever if you no its real, and whats the point to love if you no its just going to fade away.
amen.

assignment 16 (seccond part)

 My name is Charlotte I have been related to the book (black and white).
in my past years, probably in grade 2 I was harassed by kids because they were making fun of me and my old best friend Udai.
Udai was a really good friend of mine cause he was my neighbor when i lived on hopewell avenue.
He wasesent necessarly all black but he was darker then me im pretty sure he was indian.
Anywase we were really good friends and one time we were walking to school together and
we were crossing the street so he held on to my hand for safety. And this boy named Joey saw and he thaught we were dating so he made a rumour and everyone thaught we were wierd because we were a different race then eachother so me and Udai made an agrement that we wouldent hang out anymore because of this nonsence so right since then we havent talked to eachother and the rumour just faded away
and no one even thinks of it or remembers it, but me and him. Its like its stuck in our life and we cant get
it out!

assignment 16 (first part)

I think the main idea of the message in sketches by eric walters is: This girl named Dana
struggles to stay alive in the alleys and subway stations. Everyday she constantly asks
people for money because she left home and she needed money to buy food for her to
survive in downtown toronto. One time when she was doing graffiti she got caught by a
counselor and sketches (a drop in center which homeless teens could do art.
Dana was starting to paint but then started hesatating and explaining why she left home.
I have already read some of this book so i pretty much no alot of it.
And i think this is a very good book!

I think the main idea of the message in black and white by eric walters is: This black
girl named Denyse meets a white boy named thomas in highschool, and everyone thinks its wierd that they are best friends
but they find it even wierder when they start dating. Everyone didnt think it was right to date an oppisite
skin colour as you. But the couple did not no what was so bad about it so they kept on dating.
I have not read this book but Eric Walter's explained what it was about, very well so it feels
like iv'e already read it.

I think the main idea of the message in wave by Eric Walters is: This boy named Sam
and his parents are leaving for a vacation in lush, sun soaked thailand.
Sams sister Beth is staying behind, and driving her parents to the airport not knowing
that there is disaster of unimaginable proportions.
I have not read this book but I read the review of it.
