Cst Reflecting Paragraph

When I have started the CS T's testing I felt anxious about if I'm going to pass. The first part of the testing was the English part and that was a little bit difficult. I began to look at the questions and read the passage over and over so I can understand the passage and the main idea. When I started evaluating with the questions and deciding what are the best answers that answers the passage. The second part of the testing was math which I did not take instead I was in the gym with coach Burgos I had fun and I was just doing some other homework from other class that I needed to make up. The other test that we are having is science and some students are taking biology and chemistry. I wish that all students can take biology so it can be easier and so the school does not have to separate a different pile from biology or chemistry.

Testing Tips, Strategies, and Plays Reflection

By knowing tips,strategies,and play reflections can help me on the test by many reasons. For example tips will help me because if im looking for the right awnser and I start to cross out the anwsers that are not correct then I am showing myself that I know how to look for the corect awnser without guessing. Strategies will help me because I can make many strategies that can help me with the test and I can take the steps from beggining to the end when taking the test. Plays reflection will help me because, when using plays there is like this rountine that you do over and over until you get it right. This rountine is to get the right awsner and it is called practice.

My Feelings about the Upcoming CSTs

I am scared and anxious about the cst testing that is coming up next weekend.For example when I took the test last year and I felt that I can't finish the test but I finished the test. The reason why I am anxious about the test is because sometimes I feel that when I am taking the test a lot of teachers and peers sometime pressure you to do good, which I understand there are trying to make you feel good but at one point sometimes you dont wan tto pressure them to much because it can make you off track when it's time to take the test. Currently I feel less pressured because I can focus better and I dont really have to worry about people some what pressuring.

This weekend I had a great time with my brother and with family. I ata a lot of ice cream and I had ate some tangerinnes. When I had ate ice cream and tangerines my teeth and my mouth started to hurt really bad and I did not know what to do and so I just went to sleep for a long time. Then Saturday I had braided my hair in individuals and I feel pretty good about it. I achieved something that I have not known that I can do.

Playwrights Project Inspired by Music Paragraph


In class today I listened to some music from Ms. Olivia iPod. When I was listening to the music I felt calm and in a happy mood. At first I had thought the music was going to be hip hop or country. While listening to the music I had a lot on my mind like family, friends and my future ahead of me. I felt that at that time my family was standing right in front of me and talking to me. While I was writing I had not figured out which ideas I should put and so I had Ms.Cindy help me with ideas. Afterward, I felt good about playwrights and I know more about playwrights then I ever knew.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Website Selection Reflection

Today in class, I searched for websites for my research paper and information about my assignment. To search for websites, I had Ms. Cindy and Ms Priester help me on finding ideas and articles about my topic. When I found a website related to my focus question, I started reading the article about my focus question and looking over the article to make sure that the website was the right one that I picked up. I knew some of the websites I found were unacceptable because they had no titoles and they also had advertisments. I know the websites that I selected are good because they had a good subtitle, regular title, date of publication. Tommorow, I expect that Ms. Priester will tell me to look over a couple of websites that I serched and find some more websites.

Third quarter Awards Review


Today was the assembly award for students from the teachers, county social workers and the manager of the SPA. Many of the students that got an award was for getting a 3.0 gpa in both scholarship and gpa or a 4.0. I had got an award from the county social workers for chaanging both my academics and my behavior at SPA and always being positive. After the awards assembly the students that got an award got to stay after and eat pizza for doing a great job. Next award assembly I would like to get an award for getting a 3.0 gpa or higher.

Unggogable Research- What I already know

“My focus question is what motivates people to abuse children”? I already know people get a kick out of abusing children. I also know that when children get abused they don’t want to tell any authorities because there scared if they tell anybody, then the abuser will hurt them more. Additionally abuse is not okay in any way or circumstance because you’re taking a child from his or her childhood and leaving bruises in and outside. By doing research, I hope to learn about the symptoms of abuse and a lot of information on abuse and how it affects children.

“Switch” Play Audience Member Experience


Today I went to the playwright play downtown with all the sophomores and some juniors. When I was on the bus on the way to the play I thought to myself that this is going to be a really good experience. My favorite part of the play was when it first started the jeopardy about the foster kid system. For example when the play had begun and I seen the kids acting their parts that really touched me. I related to many things in the beginning of the play because I have social workers and I have been through many homes and group homes for the past nine years. One of the parts in the play that I mostly liked is the castors were dancing to the music in jeopardy because they have nice dance moves and they enjoyed dancing. For example that part of the play reminded me of me when I’m in a good mood and just for fun because ever since I was little I enjoyed dancing. I liked the play a lot and it taught us about our self and how we can come united as a whole instead of one. I would like to go to a field trip or a play like that again because that play was interesting and educational.

UnGoogleable Research Paper – Website Evaluation Tips

I chose to write about child abuse. I interviewed Derick and his response was if it was a website from either doctors and universities then he would go on to the website. But if it were a student from campus then he wouldn't rely on the website that much. I also interviewed Kristan and she had said if the website was from . org, . gov and . edu then she would go on the website. I asked Jabreil and he had said he would use the same sources as Kristana used. The advice that the people gave me will help me because I feel it would give me a good benefit for My research paper.

UnGoogleable Graphic Organizer

Homonym Poem

I went to the store to buy a bag of twizzlers
I had to go home and so the cashier had said bye because I had to go home
On the way home I passed by my school's field.
The sky was blue, and when I said achoo my hat blew.
Why is it Christmas there are so many deers, I had asked my grandmother why she always calls me dear.
My grandma asked me what am I gonna do after I eat stew and I had said I can eat alot of honey dew when the science project is due.
All i can hear is alot of fear but from what I know it was here.
