Recently in LA, we've been doing a making laws webquest. That is an online form we fill out by using icivics.com. LA is now sharing a lesson plan with Social Studies, so we'll be studying the constitution and the Government. We also take weekly spelling tests, with a pretest on Monday, and a final test on Friday.

To begin writing persuasively, we learned how to effectively argue. We discussed different cases, such as wearing armbands to school and wearing band t-shirts to school. I learned how to make a solid argument and find evidence in writing. Eventually, I chose my own topic in order to write a persuasive essay. My main argument was "Dogs are the Best Pets"
I chose someone that made a positive difference in my life. In preparation for the Blue Ribbon Ceremony, I decorated a blue ribbon, wrote a 6-word memoir about my guest, and constructed a paragraph describing why and how my guest impacted my life in a positive way. I got to present my guest with these artifacts at the Blue Ribbon Ceremony on Friday, November 16, 2012. My favorite part of this activity was writing the 6-word memoir on the ribbon. It really made me think about her.

Entrepenuership Group Project - My situation is a bit different than everyone else's. My business was Sips, the first restaraunt I went to when I moved here, but I tried to call them three separate times, and all three times, they didn't pick up. Since Sips was a failure, I tried to call CL Tel, but they never called back, so I had to join Leisure's group. Leisure had already conducted the interview, and made the call, successfully. I am going to help him with the presentation, and hopefully this project won't be too bad for my grade.
