English
I have English as my fifth class and Mrs. Hill is my teacher. Right now we are working on Weebly. I am looking forward to writing more and working on projects in with other students. In this class I like writing and doing DOL rather than learning about sentences.

In English, we just finished making a Making Laws Webquest and are now working on paragraphs. We have started sharing lesson plans with the Social Studies class too. Everyday we do five problems in our gold packet for DOL.

Persuasive Writing: To begin writing persuasively, we learned how to effectively argue. We discussed different cases, such as wearing armbands to school and wearing band t-shirts to school. I learned that you don't have to agree with the side that you are arguing for and also that there is no right side of an argument because all of it is based on opinion. Eventually, I chose my own topic in order to write a persuasive essay. My main argument was that the Super Bowl is the best show on TV.
Blue Ribbon Ceremony: I chose someone that made a positive difference in my life. In preparation for the Blue Ribbon Ceremony, I decorated a blue ribbon, wrote a 6-word memoir about my guest, and constructed a paragraph describing why and how my guest impacted my life in a positive way. I got to present my guest with these artifacts at the Blue Ribbon Ceremony on Friday, November 16, 2012. My favorite part of this activity was socializing in the commons afterwards. I enjoyed the food and being able to talk with my guest as well as others and their guests.

Entrepreneurship Group Project
The business I chose for this project is Azzolina's. My group and I plan on meeting them today after school for our interview. I am looking forward to learning new things about the business and working with Ali and Kiersten on the documentary.
