Old Yeller

The person I can relate to is Travis from the movie "Old Yeller". Old Yeller is a famous American movie about a boy living in the middle of nowhere in Texas. This boy dad leaves on a cattle drive and leaves the rest of the family home. It's just him, his little brother Arliss and his mother. He has to take care of them both and is assisted by this stray dog he calls old yeller. I can often relate to him because I have to take care of my mischievous little brother.

My overview on "Ransom"

So far the book Ransom has been very good, I chose this book because I saw it on the shelf and it looked fairly interesting. My expectations are very high because the book has started out veery well and it's very gripping. I like that the author uses a lot of descriptive words to really help you understand the setting. For me so far it looks like there are no problems, I will have to see as the book progresses.

Science Unit: Chemical Reactivity

This science unit was a great one. We learned a lot about the periodic table of elements, ionic and covalent bonds, and much more. This unit was quite interesting, we learned a lot about chemical equations and how to balance them. We also learned about which elements react and which don't, and why they are more or less reactive, things like the valence electrons helped us to understand why elements were more or less reactive. I also learned more about the periodic table than I knew before. I can place some of the elements on the periodic table now. I will never likely forget the periodic table of elements and their groups because I have learned about this for two years now and I feel I will remember it for a long time. My favorite thing we did this unit was making the chemical reactions with the compounds we were given. That was a very interesting and exciting experiment that I really enjoyed. In this experiment you were able to see the chemical reaction take place before your eyes. I am still curious about chemical equations because I don't understand them very well and I had problems with them on the test. But overall, this science unit has been a great one.

My blog about school at stuff

     So far in class I've learned how to set up a blog, before I came here to this english class I knew nothing about blogging and how to set one up, but Mr. Raisdana has taught me how to set up and post things on the blog which is really cool. One thing I enjoy about this class is that we get to spend so much time on the internet checking out our blogs and looking at other people's blogs, it helps us learn on what to improve in our blogs and also is something fun to do. Finally one thing I wish I could do differently or I could add is I would want to be able to do more collaborative work in some ways like maybe working together on a blog post on some awesome experience the two people had together or something like that. Because that would be fun and collaborative and people would enjoy being able to work with their friends on something really cool.
