In EAL class, we have been researching and looking the discriminations. Out of the discriminations, I chose to research about the age discrimination. This video on the top is the presentation I made about it.

In humanities, we have been learning about the climate change which is the global warming. We were asked to answer the presentation and record our voice of the things we want to know.

This is the speech about the things I want to know.

This is finally a start of unit 3 in music. In music, we started by having a visitor and playing us some instruments. There were 2teachers and 1 guest. By the way our unit question is ”What makes music sound like it belongs to a particular part of the world?”. We heard teachers and guest play 3different kinds of instruments. One, was Koto, 2nd one is 3string guitar and last one is shakuhachi.

I liked koto best because of the sound it makes and that there are 13strings on it which really surprised me because I can’t remember where to put my finger on a guitar but koto has way more strings.

I liked “Classical koto/shamisen/shakuhachi trio=Eghigo Jishi” song the best because I liked the way that the 3instruments combined and made a perfect music. I think the reason why this song made it sound like japanese is because it is more classical than any others. Koto and other instruments came from china but in china, chinese play like jazz.

In Art class for 10weeks, we have been looking at line drawings. Our unit question is “How can we communicate visually?”. We learned the different techniques of line drawing and some artist. After looking at line drawing and researching, we finally had to draw a land scape that we designed.

The one on the top is the picture I have to draw and the drawing at the bottom is the line drawing I drew.

I think I could have done better in the drawing for example the sky since there were a lot of empty space. I think I could have made the empty space lines like I describe wind and make the clouds blank since a lot of people will figure out the clouds easily and there won’t be a lot of blank space.

Also the trees in the mountain because the trees doesn’t look like trees because it is just all circles. If you look from far away, a lot of people might think that the trees are just dirt since my friends also said it looked like dirt.

And for the hot air balloon, I didn’t know how I could express the colors so I just put all the different types of line drawings which I could have done the tone for each space.

But I think I did a bit well on the road and the grass because since the grass is all lines, I easily found out that the dots are the path to the mountain. If you look at the left side of the grass, it is so organized that all the grass is lined up straight. I think that is what I could improve.

Overall I think I did much better on the line drawing because first my drawing was all messy and all the lines were overlapped but now I think I can do much better. I am very happy because first when I heard about line drawing I thought we get color markers but just one color and I did so much. I am proud but I think I could do better.

I have been doing a lot of fun things in science class. The experiment I liked the most was when we connected a copper to a electricity with a wire. And then we put the copper into a copper sulfite so that we can see chemical Reaction. Since I connected 2 copper with wires and 1 or them is connected positive wire, and the other one was connected with a negative. The reason why it showed the chemical Reaction to only positive is because the copper connected to a negative wire spread out in the copper sulfite and that is the reason why it showed chemical Reaction to only positive copper.

I would like to share this work with my mom to show that I really enjoyed this experiment and that I learned a lot of things. For example copper sulfide turn into copper and copper tuns to sulfide.

I think I did well on this experiment

In PE, we have been looking at sportsmanship.

I think sportsmanship is very important since if you don’t have good sportsmanship, you can lose friends and you will be left out alone. Also it is a good way to make other people feel better and also good way to interact with others. But people might quit a lot if people keeps showing bad sportsmanship since the person getting the mean things will want to quit.

Hi guys I don’t know if you heard about this game called league of legends! This is the link to sign up!

My friends and I play this game at home through skype. I asked people to play it but it looks kind of boring so they don’t play lol. But first I thought it was boring but when you get the game and know what you are doing you will have a wonderful time.

The game has a lot of champions. For 1game, you choose a champ and then you play a match with a champion you play. You play the game looking down and move them around by clicking on the screen. you use special attacks with q,w,e,r.

this is my favorite champ Fizz

Hi guys, I bet you heard of a game called minecraft before.

Minecraft is very famous in our school! We even use it in technology and humanity. Basically everything in mc world is made out of blocks so you destroy them and place them anywhere you want and build things. And sometimes there are mobs that might kill you.

We have started a new unit about chemistry so today we will be working on the types of chemicals.

Atoms are the smallest particle of an element that can exist either alone or in combination. Atoms are the smallest things that you can see with a microscope and also everything is made with atom. It is the simplest form of molecule. In Atom there are Electron on the outside, Neutron and Proton inside. 

Elements are the things that can’t be destroyed any further. For example Salt is not on the periodic table because it can be destroyed more so elements tell the things that can not be destroyed. For example co is cobalt. Cobalt is a chemical element with symbol CO and atomic number 27. It is found naturally only in chemically combined form. CA is calcium. Everyone in the whole world needs calcium. Most food have calcium in in. People need calcium to move around. Almost all calcium is stored in bones and teeth, where it supports their structure and hardness. And NA is Sodium. We use sodium to make our food taste better. Sodium chloride is the chemical name for table salt.

Molecule is a group with 2 or more atoms. It is representing the smallest unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical. For example Fe is Iron. Iron is used to make the production of steels. We use it to make cars, etc. He is Helium. People use on Earth mainly comes from mining underground gas pockets of helium. And CR is Chromium. Chromium is critical in the manufacturing of stainless steel. Most stainless steel contains about 18 percent chromium and also it is what makes things hard and toughened.

Compound is a thing that is composed of two or more separate elements. For example water it is HO because of Oxygen and Hydrogen which is used for a lot of things such as science experiments, drinking, etc. Salt which is used for cooking. If you don’t have salt, everything you cook will taste bad because Salt let’s you to make it taste better. And ice which is water but stayed in a cold place that water turned to ice. Mostly people use ice to cool water.

A physical change is when there has been a change in a state such as ice to water. A chemical change is when a new chemical or substance is formed. For example, Cooking an egg, rusting an iron pan. Basically, mixture is physical change and compound is chemical change.

In music, we have been recording our instruments. I chose to do the song called over the rainbow because it was on TV a lot and also there are different notes like high and low. I think I did kind of good because My Song(over the rainbow) was sometimes high pitched that I couldn’t make that sound so sometimes there was “pii” sound. I think I could improve on that and I need to play my song more smoothly.
