Half year, Half way, Hindrance.

“It goes slow but gain’s speed.” It reminds me of a train, it slowly floats by, then it adds speed untill it is at full capasity. Like my half year has been. This school year has been very slow until three weeks before exams.

8 things about exams that have changed this school year to last school year for me.

1)Were you satisfided with your marks for this mid term (1 to 5)?: This year 5/5,  last year 4/5.

2)How long did you study for exams?: Two weeks.

3)How did you study for your exams?: Read notes, studied text books, made tests, question, made lists, reviewed important facts also reviewed work.

4)How could you have improved in studying?: I could study longer than two weeks.

5)How could you improve in your exams?:I could go back over my tests and check over harder questions.

6)What was your goal for the other half of the year?: Full exemtions.

7)How close are you to your goal?: I think I am on my way to completing my goal.

8)How has your six word story involved your half year?: My six word story involves my half year because in the beginning of my year it seemed to take forever, but now it seems like it is going really fast.

Mission Nimpossible

The study of chimpanzee has decline almost entierly. The reserch done in the 70′s has proven that chimpanzee’s are capable of comunicating with people but not with there voice’s. It has been proven that there brian can prosess symbols and sign’s so they are able to comunicate with humans, with sigh language.

The reactions of this testing has very bad reviews. Animal testing is tests done for the good effects for humans but bad effects for animals apply.

This is the moral to the novel, Half brother. The book is partly based on a true story. A family has takin in a chimpanzee and treated it like a human. But what is the problem with this is it bad, good what dose life think of this? How dose it affect everyone involved?

My Vital Group Collaboration

Collaboration, colaboration is a group effort done by many people. In my case 58 students split bettween two provinces, in small towns, 27 hundred killometers apart working over the internet.

The  task at hand was to make prestaions about different topics related to a book that we are going to read in the near future. The book is called half  brother, this is partly a true story. Based on project Nim, project Nim took place in the 70′s and the book is about a monkey named Zan. scientist are trying to figgure out if chimps can  learn at a human level.

Thanks to Google and it’s many tools and working pages these groups are alloud to work together. Google Docs has supplied online working tools such as the documents that we used and the presentaion pages, but there is much more to work with on Google docs. But there was one problem with Docs when are groups were chating in the documents there was no chating in the presentaions, so we needed to have are document page open which was quite anyoing! The problem was we had to go back and forth to prestentaion to docs to finding images.

But over all the trouble that had happend work with these students had become not a task, but a plesure. It was fun to work with someone you have never worked with before even if you have a disagrement or two.

Well my conculsion is if you think your good at working in groups you should try working on line with one no face, no emotioin, no phiisical contact.

The Last Wave Of The Wave.

The closing of The Wave has come. The title wave has to end, as lots of people say!

Laurie and all of the non Wave members were all celebrating about there news paper. It was completely sold out, there wasn’t a single paper that was not sold. After the party ended everyone left except Laurie because she had to clean up.When she left she had to walk down the Erie hallway without anyone when she finally got to her locker there were the words painted in red “enemy”. she slowly walked back from her locker, and she started to hear foot steps. Laurie was deeply frightened, she started to walk to the doors at the other end of the hallway. The foot steps grew louder, terrified Laurie started to walk faster. The foot steps were getting very loud now, and Laurie was now running. When she finally reached the end of the hallway it seemed to take forever, she banged her hips against the door to open it, but it was locked! Laurie got though the next set of door with little hope. she ran out of the school as fast as she could.
David and Brian sat in Brian’s van and wait for Laurie to come by. The other Wave members said, David was the only one who can stop Laurie from writing things about The Wave (because Laurie was his girlfriend). When Laurie finally came by it had almost been a whole hour. David caught up to Laurie but Laurie kept on going. Finally Laurie stopped when David garbed her arm and started yelling at her. she squirmed to get out of his hand. then he grabbed her with his other hand and pushed her down. Then he realized what he had done and he went down and apologized to Laurie. He said it felt like he woke up from a trance. the same trance all the other Wave members are in!

Mrs.Ross was Very worried  about Mr.Ross, she was worried because he might loose his job if he dosen’t end The Wave. He also needed to talk to Owens about how he is going to stop The Wave. He needed to figure out a plan to end the wave. he had finally made up a plan, and he went through the plan in his head over and over again.
When Mr.Ross was just about to go to bed, David and Laurie came up to Mr.Ross’s house and rang the door bell. Mr.Ross opened the door and said to Laurie and David “it is late shouldn’t you guy’s be at home?”
David told Mr.Ross all that Happened that night. He said he had almost hurt Laurie to save The Wave. He said that it was like he was in a trance that was hard to get out of. Then David told Mr.Ross that The Wave needed to be stopped and Mr.Ross agreed. The next day they stop The Wave, and every thing was better.

When Laurie and David were fighting I thought that David was going to start beating up Laurie! But I was deeply surprised that David did not beat up Laurie. They were getting so mad at each other that Laurie was going to get home with a black eye. When David pushed Laurie down I thought I knew that Laurie was going to be beat down. But when he bent down to say sorry I thought what this couldn’t be write did I skip a page? Then I read it over again and it was written right there in the novel that I was reading! So when I got back to the book I thought wow this guy has a short attention span. He felt Like he was in a trace I thought that was really strange because I thought it was all most impossible to be in a trance. So when he got down and said he was sorry I thought he was trying to make her stop writing those things. But when he went over to Mr.Ross’s house I knew that he wasn’t David was actually trying to help Laurie! I thought ok Laurie it’s ok I think you can trust him “but by this time I was totally zoned in to the book.”  

The Wave. The Sound of Them Crashing! Enjoy

Through chapters 9-12 I have learned some new information, that I am willing to share with you. Read on if you are pleased so far!
Mr.Ross wasn’t very sure of  what he thought of The Wave. It was just a simple experiment, and now it is everywhere. In the result, there was more and more students coming in to Mr.Ross’s class every day! There were even students coming in from other schools.
They were not falling behind in their subject, but in fact they were get them done faster. Ben noticed a improved preparation in class, but he also noticed there was less thinking in preparation. The foot ball team was induced to The Wave and were actually starting to be a team. The Wave was so well prepared that they only needed a half of the class to get the lesson done.
Mr.Ross was trying to understand, what attracted the students to The Wave so much? some say that it is new and interesting, like a fad. Others say they like the democracy of it. All of they students were equal now and there was no more competition of who was the most beautiful. Most of the students thought it was a good idea to increase the discipline.

Laurie was sitting in the publications office, chewing on a pen. Several members of the Gordon Grapevine staff did to. They were all supposed to be in a meeting talking about things that they were doing for the Grapevine, but they were just sitting there doing nothing, like always. Then Laurie got up and said “okay”, we have the same problem as usual. The paper is due out next week but we don’t have enough stories.” She was asking all the staff for the publications office for there stories, but they always had a new excuse. Then a staff member asked Laurie, “why not do a story about The Wave, everybody is talking about it.” Another staff member said, “I thought you were apart of the wave are you or are you not”. A third staff member said “or are you just saving the good stories for your self.” Laurie replied “well we don’t know enough to write about The Wave to write about yet.”

She talked to her mom about the wave and ever since she talk to her mom about The Wave she tried to avoid it ever since. But her mom was really worried about her because she saw Mrs.billings, which is Robert the class nerd’s mother She said Robert was a totally different person. But Mrs.saunders didn’t trust his dramatic change.

This is the very last part of the book.
There was a rally in the gym called The Wave Rally instead of the Prep Rally Laurie did not go because she was afraid of The Wave. So she didn’t go what she did was she went in the publications office to work, but actually she was hiding. But she also broke up with David. (and it was all a big mess.) So her and some other publications office members that were not a part of The Wave disided to expose The Wave for what it really was!

Dear, Mr.Ross
You are a Interesting and smart man. You have created a experiment that is not just a experiment, but it is a experience that I will never forget since I have read the book about this. But if you ever read this I have one question. If you could discipline your self would you. You said you felt so powerful even though you got sucked in to your owen it experiment would you want to be disciplined like this again?

The Wave, Starting Off New!

The next day all of the kids came in slow a tired, others stood some where and talked to each other. Robert Billings is the class creep, all the people that are kind of strange have a tormentor. In his case it is  Brad was Roberts tormentor,  Brad walked by and patted Robbert on the back, while leaving  a sticky note on his back that had just happened to say… Kick me!!! One on the kids happened to notice on the board there was  big letters, “Strength Through Discipline”.
A student said.”what is that supposed to be”. while pointing up to the black board.
Mr.Ross replied “I will tell you as soon as your are seated,” they sat down and Mr.Ross started. “Today I am going to talk to all of you about discipline,” all of the kids started complaining but Mr.Ross said “hold it, it is not what you guys think. When I talk about discipline I mean power.” He continued ” success is through discipline.”
He used people in the class for examples to show the class his point. First he used people on the football team  but it didn’t sink in. Then he used Andrea for example because she was a ballet. she was sitting taller than all the other students.
Mr. Ross said to Andrea “dose it take lots of time and discipline to be a good ballet dancer”
Andrea replied ” yes it dose take a long time and lot’s of discipline to be a good ballet dancer.”
Mr.Ross said “the same with all of the other art’s you people practice.”
After that all of them played this game that they were so interested in they didn’t want to leave. When the bell rang for the next period they were still sitting in their seats. This game they had played was all about discipline even though they did not know it. Mr.Ross would ask them a question and they would stand tall and say Mr.Ross, and say their answer and sit down.

The part that surprised me the most was when they played the game again. I didn’t think Mr.Ross would continue the game because he got so sucked in to the game the day before. The reason I thought he would stop playing the game because the game was like manipulating them. it was like they were hypnotized by discipline that was what the game was all about discipline. They wanted to be discplinedand when they were they felt powerful and strong.
