Second Round

Today is the day that I go back to posting on my blog. I had created this blog last year for my English class and I thought that this was a good wayof showing what we’ve learned. In the 8th grade for English class, I had also created a blog and we would post our opinions and I didn’t really like it because others would see what I had postedin front of the class. Now I see it as something else because it’s just a different way of expressingour thoughts. I didn’t do such a good job of posting on my blog last year, but this year I will do better.

LES MIS VS. THE MOVIE

In the movie, Fatine prostitutes herself. In the movie they show the Tharnediers as people who steal from their costumers, but they show it in a comedic way. Mr.Tharnedier also doesn't go chasing after Cosette and Jean Valjean.

Spring Term Paper

Areli Garcia Dr. Preston English 25 May 2019 Room 619 Every morning is the same. I wake up, get dressed for school, brush my teeth, and head to school. It’s the same routine meaning that sometimes I’ll barely be on time for first period. I always thought about changing my morning schedule, but I never did until one day when I was writing in my journal during second period. We create these habits that aren’t that easy to get rid of. So little by little I would be changing the time that I would wake up and then I also changed my morning routine to the point where I would now shower in the mornings. Starting to shower in the mornings was a good idea because it has me awake. It would have me as awake as a person who for the first time would have Dr. Preston drop a textbook just to prove a point. Coming into Dr.Preston’s class each day is not the same as coming into any other English class. Each day we get a minute of mindfulness and that isn’t given to us each day by any oth

Monkey See, Hear, Do

I believe that kinesthetic learning is most effective because when you learn to do something you’re practicing. It’s like playing a sport. Unless you do the work, you probably won’t know how to play the sport. One of my teachers has always said that unless you do the work, you won’t know how to solve the problems. I don’t think that I’m going to have anyone do something for my presentation because I can’t think of anything for them to do right now , but if I think of something then I will have them do it. I will have some sort of visuals and it might be on my presentation. I want to have some recordings to have the class listen to, but i dont know if I’m going to be able to do that.

Jean Valjean essay

Jean Valjean is a dynamic character because he changes throughout the story. He’s not the same person he was when he met the Bishop of Digne. He became the person people looked up to and the mayor of the town. He was respected by many. Along the way he became responsible for this child that he now cares about deeply. Jean Valjean was once a criminal to the people except Monseigneur Bienvenu

Ignite Talk

How would people survive if they didn’t have meat to eat? How would they act? Would their physical self be different? To find out more about my big question, I researched the health conditions of not eating meat. Not eating meat means that you’ll be eating less calories and fats and you’ll have a lower risk of heart diseases. One connection that I can make is that sometimes what you want is not good for you. What I’m going to do next is ask people who have been vegetarians or vegans how their lives have been because of it.

Mr. Nice Guy 3/5

  We often think about kind actions in terms of how they affect other people -- but what do these moments offer the people who DO the kind things?  Can you become a nicer person by acting nice?  Please explain. I think that becoming nice by acting nice isn’t really the way it should be. I think that someone should just be nice and in return just expect respect from others. That’s what will make you a good person.
