Why I wont make some of the changes my friend suggested

I don't see the need of putting synonyms to the words I think the meaning is all ready clear enough also synonyms can mess people up  and get confused with the definitions. It is better this way.

Comments Of my project

My friend said that my overall work was good but would have like to see a more detailed descriptions and also maybe some synonyms. For the putting the words in the sentence he said that he liked the words i put in their but that sometimes instead of putting one word for one word I put one word for one sentence.
For my book review he said to maybe say less why he was so good and put some errores if their was o that the readers get a full understanding.

Book Review

                                               Book Review

The story begins with 13 year old Hannah not wanting to attend the Seder.  (Jewish feast). She doesn’t see the reason to remember her family’s history nor she wants to spend time with grandpa Will.  But when the time comes to open the door to the prophet Elijah, she is transported to the past; Poland 1942, specifically to her family’s shtetl, in Viosk.

When she is in the past and gets closer to the Shul and sees the  Nazi trucks,  she knows the Holocaust  is coming. The author doest a great job representing a worrisome child that as she worries she is also maturing into a less selfish person.

It’s a historical fiction story   where author Jane Yolen does a fantastic job describing how time changes from the present to the past making the scenery virtually come alive.

Jewish children will enjoy this thrilling story, however, the author’s research is so well done that non-jewish readers will learn about history as well as of Jewish culture making sure that the average reader doesn’t get confused with all the Yiddish words like for example: yarmulke, pilpul and, sherele. Malach ha-mavis. Also, the reader gets to learn about some traditional entertainers like the badchan, and the klezmer.

In some places, the author misses some information like what Gitl and Shmuel are to Chaya.  Also everyone calls Gitl, tante, so its more confusing to the reader. 

The author also didn't explain how the concentration camp was so that kind of bad especially when she tries to escape with Gitl you don't know where they are or anything.

Reading the book is like eating a herring, a little oily at the beginning but quite spicy as you go on.

I would rate this book with a 7/10. However, some topics are intended for a minimum age of 12 years old.

Our script

Have you ever wondered why children don't like to go to school? Why every single Monday the people are extremely bored. It is hard for some people to see it, they say its because the weekend ended but its actually because they've done the same thing for the past 9 or 10 years.

The idea is to change the schools in various little ways, 4 or 5 maybe. For example children can configure their schedules, you can make sure that you have no stressing classes in the morning and harder ones in the afternoon making your learning experience better. Also we could reduce the schedules by small amounts, say 5 or 10 minutes. The change would be appreciated. Even by parents because their child would have a better chance if gettung good grade and enjoying the school environment. The administrator would benefit because their school would become very prestigious about making almost every body in their school successful.  Teacher would also benefit because kids would want to learn and could get more done in a day.

What we want to do is in an instance make the learning environments in schools more likable. Un-bore students if it could be referred to as that. Our plan is to have everyone see something new constantly, to make sure that learning is always encouraged. New people, new projects, new schedules, and even new classrooms. We want to make everything fun for people. It might have some costs, the constant changes might have confusions in the systems and papers, but a system can be created in which there is patterns and there is always a backup for all of the information. Plus, adults also can have fun with something new happening.

Studies show that when students are happy or not stressed there brain preforms better. We also want to discard the ADD because to treat ADD you sedate children and they feel sleepy unable to perform at their maximum level.

Haven't you thought of that? Just eliminating the boringness at school. We can make classes more personalized in order for kids to study what they want. And by mid- middle school or high school they can study specifically for their career if they want to, making the, be prepared for the career they want. That's what we want, we want to stimulate learning, make people like what they do and how they do it. We want to make everything better somehow.

story board for school

Final draft MYTH

Once upon a time there was a boy named Peter Smith. He was a nice boy; good at sports and he was popular. When he gets to school everything gets bad; he sucks at school and Bob Murphy isn't any help. Bob Murphy is a nerd who loves to bother Peter because he is dum. Peter has tried really hard to be good at school but he just can't. He has a tutor and that's why he hasn't been failing any class but he just died of a heart attack. Poor Peter, what was he going to do? To make things worse, his parents are kind of cucu and he had to take care of them. His uncle pays his tuition in the best school possible, the CNG. Most people were normal at the school, got 3 as an average but there was always the kid who almost failed each year but managed to pass, that was Peter. Most people lived in big houses but Peter lived in a small home with all of his extended family. The reason his family didn't  help out with his parents because they think they already do enough for them. Also they thought peter was crazy because when he got nervous he started playing with things in his pockets which were weird like old gum trash. Also at night he swore at the god to the mysterious god of ESOB he said he hated his creations.

He only gets cheer up when he see's his best friend Jimmy Delano; he never bothers Peter because he knows his situation and his DEEP DARK SECRET, so he is very careful about that by the way Peter deep dark secret is that if he gets bothered to much he wil turn into a monster. That day Bob Murphy is more of a jerk than usual and it finally gets to him; Peter becomes a monster!!! Zoom he ran by fast, he started to destroy all the homework in CNG but that wasn't all, next all of south America's homework was gone and after only 5 min. there was no more homework left in the whole world.

After Peter the monster destroys all of the homework he goes back to his school CNG and makes his den/home there and each day he destroys a little more of the school and eats one teacher a day but his first victim was Bob Murphy and made him suffer a minute as much as he had for 3 years. After 2 days after Peter had taken over the school, the CIA and the FBI arrive at the school. After planning what to do for hours, someone finally shoots at the monster but it melts as it touches Peter. What were they going to do? He can't be touched by metal or the metal melts.  After many days of stalling a CIA agent that was desperate said I'm going home so he went up to peter the monster and said you sucks you know I know what school is like but I didn't go all psycho so just turn back into to pete... ahhhh help !!! The CIA agent was eaten. So the FBI called president calls an emergency meeting with all presidents and says we have a monster that is a potential threat to the world, then the a stupid president says why don't we just shoot him with bullets. All of the president sighs with that question. We told you it melts as we hit him. Then The president of the FBI says that maybe he can't melt plastic. Everyone laughed and someone yells out: "what are we going to do, make bullets of plastic? hahahahahahah. He replies "no we are going to hit him with the strongest of tranquilizer in the world". At dawn, the snipers are ready  to shoot. The monster has woken up and as soon as he is about to eat another teacher, the first plastic tranquilizer hits him, but he only feels a little dizzy. After 20 shots he is dead or passed out. As soon as the CIA and FBI agents get 15 feet away from the monster he starts to rise and goes to the Heaven of Homework, where he will be punished for his actions of destroying HOMEWORK.  Where the god of gods of homework ESOB will punish him for cursing at him

What does our changing the school project meet

Well our change is to make the classrooms/school a safe learning environment where you're not exhausted   where you can feel free to talk, and to feel at home.
 Our changes would meet the needs of the students because they wouldn't be so tired and could excel more in their learning so if you increase more learning in less time. Also there would be more teachers than now.
Our motivation will be that kids will be less stress out. They will feel safe asking questions and kids will want  it because they will have more free time. The other thing is that the school won't be a bad thing it won't be like free time but it will have more facilities it will incorporate games into the themes you are working on but only once in a while

How would i change my myth

Well I would add a little more action because my publics children from 8 to 12 and when I was their age i loved for bombs to explode for them to almost catch the criminal but it gets away, but it always ends well for the good guy.

What would I use to visualize murphy school in a video

I would use example of real live schools I would use photos that who how it wou D be The sound track wiil

How it would look

Depends what rubric they choose has to be approved by teacher More indepentednt To make the changes to the school would cost more because. Of design and more teacher

My peers suggestion

My first peer: he said that it was well written but he would like to know a litle more about ESOP. Also he said that why did Peter destroy homeworks. Second peer:Why is jimmy Delano his best friend and why is Peter bad ate school does he have a problem or is he just dum also. What did he do to bob so that he suffered 3years of pain in 1 minute. Father: he said that it was good but it could improve first there are some grammar mistakes but that could be easily changed he also said that why didn't his uncle help more or why didn't all of his family take care of his parents if they were cucu He said that maybe the ending is too short and that it should be extended, like the god (Thor)comes to fight him but loses so he gets his hammer. Something like that

Book reviews

Una to write about Favorite character Quotes from the book Favorite parts Theme or something I learned from the book How it made me feel Have to recommend

Picture citatio

Have to put the link, have the copy right, tell in your blog who crated it.

Reaserch and obsatcles

Some of the obstacle s in the way of changing the ways school works and the way it looks are the old fashioned  parents who are very squared which means they think there is only on way to do things and it is the old way.
Research : As one of the ted talks said if you feel your in a safe learning environment you brain excels in everything. Also since schedules would decrease because more leraning cold be done in less time kids would feel less stressed and would have more time for homework and more time to relax.

The work i want to improve is the myth why because it has a good stoy but a lot moer could be added and also alot more grmmar could be added

My 3 Best works

My 3 best works in eighth grade have been: 

• Social Studies semester exam, it was a long DBQ and my paragraphs were well written, long and straight forward.
• Sociales portafolio, this was a written essay about everything we have done in this year with examples. 
• English math song, it was really hard to put all the explanatory lyrics on a fast beat song like, Move like Jagger, but overall you could really understand the meaning.

What Makes my work great?  Great work is when you excel in something and really get the meaning, but also is that you can teach other the meaning in creative ways and if you feel you put everything you could into it.

What would it look like
How are you going to keep our students concentrate

My favorite sport is soccer why because it is the most physically demanding spot and mentally challenging sport you have to be strong but light fast but not to thin you have to withstand grueling tackles you,have to be alay maker you have to be a defender and a striker a the same time. A good example is ronaldinho he is one of mthe best players of the 21 century but even he doesn't compare to ...PELE the best player of all time

Digital story telling

Point of view: what will be the Dramatic questions Emotion or making your viewer care Voice The sound track Economy Pace
