      This will affect my personal health practice because I now know ways to help my sleep. My sleep will finally be sound, and I know that I'm not the only one who "suffers" from this "epidemic". I'm always tired in the morning because of time management. That sounds pretty vague, but what I really mean is that I finally know that I feel tired in the morning because of how I don't have a lot of time on my hands.      Some ways I could advocate this are by posting things on social media. This would probably be the most effective way because this is something that 7th graders are on EVERYDAY. Some other ways are in casual conversations, I can bring this topic up, and that person can do the same (the chain keeps going). The last way I could do this is by something I have already done, and that is by conducting a survey. I conducted the survey that is featured in my article, and this got people wanting to fix the fact that they think they don't ...

Political Cartoon: The Unit We used captioning and labelling in our cartoon because it really helps our message get across, so that people can understand what we are trying to say. We also used symbolism in our cartoon because people are able to understand pictures and words together really well, and symbolism was an easy way for us to get a message across using something small and easy to draw. The message of our political cartoon is that we take things for granted without know where they come from and what it’s doing to our environment. This connects to globalization because in our political cartoon it shows a line of children with no access to their own basic needs going into a factory that says "Globalization". Globalization represents all the major companies in our world. On the other side of the factory shows deforestation and pollution. This connects to globalization because it shows how from one place, the child labourers and other workers work hard and in a more...

During P.E., we had a task to build the tallest tower. We were separated into teams, and I had a really good one, as we had built the tallest tower with the Toobeez plastic tubes and connectors. I think that during this process I was the brainstormer and a little bit of the leader because I was the one who came up with how we should build the tower (I thought about the Burj Khalifa's structure as it is the tallest building in the world). I was a little bit of the leader because I kept everyone on track, and I also directed people on what to do next. We were a very cooperative team as we worked together by using each other's back as  support to reach the higher and taller parts of the building. My teammates thought I was the brainstormer, a little bit of the leader, and the peacemaker. I do agree with this, but I don't think this was my dominant trait. They said that I was the peacekeeper because when everyone was fighting about what to do, I told everyone to calm down and t...

Reverse value is when you have an object on a white or black background and the object is the opposite color of the background. The details on the object are the same color as the background. It's REALLY confusing! The tools I used were ink, fountain pens, pencil, eraser, light table, paint, paintbrushes, and Copic Multiliner Pens. I drew a gymnastics trophy, a donut, a water bottle, my SAS card and a drivers license from a Disneyland ride (Autopia), my wallet, money, scissors, my phone, my headphones, my hand, and a softball. The most challenging part of this assignment was figuring out what to make black and what to make white. Once you figured that out, for white, you had to re-outline things and you had to do a lot of small, fine, details. https://lmpta.wordpress.com/art-docent-program/5th-grade-projects/lines-create-illusions-op-art/ I like this optical illusion art because this person also used a bit of reversed value to make this look like a room. This helped...

The farther away the planet is from the sun, the slower it rotates.

       During this unit, I learned about poverty in my family. I also learned about poverty cycles (focusing on Papua New Guinea) and how micro-financing works. This makes me think that there is so much left to do to make the world a developed place. I am so used to developed places that sometimes I forget how big the world is. I forget that there are places who aren't even close to being as fortunate as me. We learned about social entrepreneurs, KIVA loans, and NGO's. One of the activities I found interesting was interviewing my family . I learned that my family has connections with poverty, and that my family escaped the poverty cycle by getting a good education . This is important because I didn’t think that my family would have any connections with poverty, and it is relevant because I learned new things about poverty, and I know how my grandpa escaped poverty. I’m now inspired to learn more about him because then I will understand so much more and this wil...

1. My snack was very healthy because there was protein, and it was high in vitamin c. It was made of greek yogurt, granola, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. There were many more good things on the calorie counter than there were bad things. The only bad thing there was, was that there was too much sugar. This isn't added sugar, but it is sugar from the fruits, so the sugar is healthy. 2. I don't think that much about if my snack is health because when I do gymnastics, I burn a lot of that fat off. I now realize that burning it off doesn't mean I got rid of it. My goal is to start eating healthier. 3. I think food is meant to be eaten with other people because then you can share how much like or dislike the food. Some effects of eating and socializing is that sometimes you forget about you manners. You may talk with your mouth full or just be rude. 4. I enjoyed preparing my food because I did some of it with my friends and some of it with my mom. I think if you put...

a) Determine the cost of each plan if you send 500 text messages in one month. Show your working out. Plan A: $79.95 Plan B: $90.2 Plan C: $74.95 I worked this out by looking at the graph where the x  axis was 500 (the x axis was amount of texts sent), and then I saw where each line landed on the y axis. b) Your boss asks you to visually display three plans and compare them so you can point out the advantages of each plan to your customer. c) A customer wants to know how to decide which plan will save her the most money. Determine which plan has the lowest cost given the number of text messages a customer is likely to send. For anything less than 400 texts, Plan A is the best (cheapest). For anything more than 400 and less than 800 texts, Plan C is the best (cheapest). For anything more than 800 texts, Plan B is the best (cheapest).

You should eat bugs! I mean, firstly, you already eat them. Next, there are so many more options! In the US, the food standards for canned fruit juices allow 1-2 larvas and 5 fruit-fly eggs. This is the maximum amount of insects that are allowed to be found in foods. So, if you already eat them, why don't you just know that you are eating them, because they are pretty healthy! They have a lot of protein in them. Also, there are so many bugs, humans could never run out! There are around 6 million different species of insects, and 80% of all animals walk on 6 legs (insects). This means that there are about 200 to 2,00kg of insects for each person on earth. Compared to how much protein you are getting now, the insects will provide you with much more. There are already 1,000 species that are being eaten around the world, and there are so many different ways you can prepare them. Also, we will have to. I mean, without insects we wouldn't be alive. The types of mammals and other anim...

This activity was about using proportions to find measurements. It was also using prior knowledge (such as my height), to find the height of the pole which was unknown. We took a picture, and then put it up on our laptop. Then, we measured how big we were on the screen (I was 1.5 cm, and the pole was 6.3 cm). Since we already knew that I was 57 inches, we had to find the scale factor. To find it, we divided 6.3 by 1.5, and the answer was 4.2, the scale factor. Then we multiplied my real height by the scale factor to find the height of the pillar in real life. 57 x 4.2 is 239.4. The height of the pole is 239.4 inches.

Understanding his point of view: I had an idea that I would prank my brother (17 years old) by going on his Snapchat and taking a picture of him sleeping. I wanted to see if he would notice. The outcome I expected was for him to just laugh if it off. At first, I felt really mischievous about this, but after my brother found out and got mad, I felt really bad. I felt like I had invaded his life, and I thought that he would be mad for 3 more days after that. I felt super guilty. I understood his point of view because I thought about how I would feel if I was him, and I realized that I would also be mad. Later that day I made a little "sorry" card and gave it to him. My brother forgave me and said that it was okay. He told me not to do anything like that again. The strategy was successful because by understanding how my brother felt, I managed to resolve the issue (him forgiving me).
