Museums and Artifacts

 Today we practiced more essay writing using the articles we read yesterday. They were both about museums and had different takes on the whether or not artifacts should be kept in them. The first article was for museums keeping artifacts in them, and the second article was against keeping artifacts in them if the country of origin requested it to be returned to them. We created a intro and body paragraph based on which side we chose after completing the cluster. The side I chose was for museums giving artifacts back to the country of origin upon request.

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.

Some of my classmates spent the period watching this movie called "Pitch Perfect" on the big screen. We left the period without the bell again for some reason. I wonder why the bell stopped working. I think we were told why but I forgot.

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.
