Ambush Reading Group Presentations

 Today in class we presented whatever assignment we were given based on the roles we were given from yesterday. My group went second and I presented first. I said my name, my role, which was the connector, and talked about my connection to the reading. In summary it was about my aunt who is also a US soldier but was drafted in the Iraq War and not the Vietnam War. And then my group member Nathaniel presented his illustration, as his role was the illustrator. Another one of our group members was supposed to present with us, but she didn't get to because she was not done with the assignment yet. Also, there was an internet outage at the school, so I had to wait until I got home to do my blog post and homework and instead of at school as I do most of the time.

Presentations of Countries in Asia

Today we did presentations of our group projects about countries in Asia. The countries presented were Thailand, North Korea, China, South Korea, the Philippines, and Japan. Some of the things in the presentations I knew already and some of the information presented was new to me. For example I was not aware that Thailand had temples or tribal villages. Some things I learned while doing our presentation on North Korea was that 3 languages most commonly spoken there are Korean, Chinese, and Russian, but most of the population is proficient in Korean.

Microwave Broke

Today was the last day to complete missing assignments. I spent the class period working on my final projects and missing assignments as per usual. After the class period was over we went to 3rd period and then lunch. I brought my crab cakes too school and they were really good. Though the taste seemed a bit off/faded out because they have been sitting in the fridge for almost 2(?) weeks because I forgot about them. It's a good thing that I brought food to school to warm up because I won't be eating much at home since our microwave almost caught on fire/stopped working right this morning. I hope it can get fixed soon.

Journey to School

Today we watched a movie about how less fortunate people go to school. The four kids journeys that were covered we Jackson and his sister from Kenya, Zahira and her friends from Morocco, Carlos and his sister Rica in Mexico, qnd Samuel and his brothers from India. They all take treacherous and dangerous journeys to get to school, with many risks and dangers along those paths. Such as losing their way, drowning in a river, getting kidnapped, injuring themselves, or getting killed by wild animals or dangerous people. I'm really glad all I have to do is walk to the bus stop or hop in one of my parent's car to go to school.
