7Emma's STEM project page

Emma is very organized. In ECS, we are doing a project that is called a webquest. Webquest is kind of a funny word. Although if you are doing a webquest, then you are doing a project on the computer. That is why it is called a WEBquest. Now, a webquest is used so that a student can research and learn about a new topic. Have you ever heard of a muckraker? Well, until last year's webquest, I didn't either. Using the Internet, I learned all about muckrakers and what they did. Another thing that is in a webquest is tasks to do. If you have a job, then you know what I mean when I say that there are tasks to be done. In a webquest, you will have tasks like going to a certain website and completing quests. One last thing that I will tell you is that in a webquest, some webquests, you can complete on paper, but some are all centered on the computer. In certain projects, you will use paper like in your everyday classes. On some projects, you are required to use a computer like a power-point presentation. So hopefully now after reading my explanation of a webquest, you will know what it is. || = = || My new years resolution is to drink less pop and exercise more. I order to make sure I follow through with it, I will make a calendar to mark whether I excelled at exercising and drinking less pop that day. Pop is high in calories and sugars, which makes pop not a very healthy drink to have. Calories and sugars build up in your body to make fat. I would like to use exercising and drinking less pop to get rid of most of my body fat. Certain types of fat are good but the kinds that come from pop are terrible. Exercise is not just good for losing weight. Exercise also helps people raise their self esteem and their confidence. Mr. A, maybe you should try exercise, it would help with your low self esteem problems. This generation is very full of obesity. I am getting close to that mark. I would like to be as lean as the rest of my friends. Having all of these things in mind, I am going to try especially hard this year to reach my goals. || || My teacher, Mr. Agamenoni, is most like the character, Benjamin, for the following reasons. Benjamin is an old donkey who is very literate. Mr A is very literate in my opinion because he speaks very well as a teacher. He is also a very good reader because he can read really advanced books and can understand each and every word like posthumously. Benjamin is old enough to retire, but he just keeps working to help out the farm. Mr. A tells every student that he is apparently 79 years old, so he is old enough to retire though he keeps working with students in ECS while being a great teacher. He keeps being a great teacher because he wants to do his share and he is always working hard. Benjamin is just as literate as the pigs but he doesn't want to speak up. Mr. Agamenoni like I said is very literate, but he always tells us that he didn't question authority enough. Just like Benjamin he is in the working class, and he is ruled by a higher power. These are the reasons why I think that Mr. Agamenoni is most like Benjamin in the book, Animal Farm. || || The bird man of Alcatraz. He found a baby bird. kept it in his cell with him. He taught it to fly.He created a bird cage for it. He got more and more birds. They got sicknesses. He studied all kinds of books and types of things to figure out how to treat his birds. He asked the warden for lots of birdseed. He started to write a book about his experiences. He was giving birds to all of his cellmates. All of the cellmates loved the birds and the birds were taught tricks. He was having a great time with all of his birds but then one day he got sent to Alcatraz. He had to get rid of all of his birds. When he was in Alcatraz, he continued to write his book and sooner or later he finished it. After a while in Alcatraz, he was sent to the Levinworth prison to live out the rest of his life sentence in prison. Thy bird was flown out of his jail room and was brought back via missing his convict. Thy bird got sick and had his sick self away by his convict studying bird sick selves and how to fix it.Thy convict did publish his book. || || The animals in animal farm that are most similar to me are Boxer, Snowball,and Benjamin. Boxer is a beast like, 18 hands high, horse and his motto is, "I will work harder!". One reason that I am like Boxer is that I work hard if I am given a job to do. Take this essay for example,I am putting in a lot of thought to figure out what characters I am like and how I am like these characters. One other animal that I am like is Snowball. Snowball is an intelligent and inventive pig who loves having power. I am like Snowball because I am very intelligent, especially in math and science, also, I love having power at certain times. The last animal that I am like is Benjamin. Benjamin is very wise but he has a bad temper at times. I am like Benjamin because I am very wise sometimes, but I can also have a bad temper. I, Emma Loney, am very unique,extraordinary, and very hard-working, but I have a lot of special traits that make me this way and these are the animals in animal farm that I most resemble. Emma, I thought that you did a FANTASTIC job of following the rubric Mr. A set up for us to follow. I like the picture you put. It shows Boxer and Benjamin. || media type="custom" key="11640594" || Even though Thanksgiving is this weekend,there are still a few things that i am not grateful for. I absolutely do not like homework. I always have homework, but it is so hard between all of my sports,music,siblings sporting events, and family events to ever get any of my homework done. Homework is good though because it gets me prepared for things like college,a job, and maybe just some extracurricular activities. I am always teased by my older brother. I hate it and he just does it to get me so mad.The good thing is that to me it is very humorous because I know that he is just teasing me for a sense of security.I am pretty sure that at one point, every kid has hated chores.Chores are so annoying because sometimes you are just so tired that you don't want to do anything.Further in life I will have a job and I will have to do chores, so I might as well get used to it now while I am still young. There is always going to be things that I am not grateful for, but I will learn from my ungratefulness. || ||
