If I had $1000 dollars and 1 hour to spend it I would go to the mall.

Too much testing

Filed under: Uncategorized —— austin221 @ 9:47 pm

Assignment:

Respond to Obama’s opinion http://tweentribune.com/content/obama-says-too-many-tests-make-school-boring that less testing and more technology integration and meaningful activities are needed in classrooms.

Do you agree or disagree that you test too much?

I agree with Obama’s opinion because students are gretting tired of taking tests for no reason.  We need to take less tests so we can have more time for studying.  We’re not getting enough time to study.  In my opinion, we should take less test but learn about more

Chimamanda Adichie

Filed under: Uncategorized —— austin221 @ 1:39 pm

Chimamanda Adichie was born in Nigeria. She’s a story teller. In this paper I will talk about her short stories.

When she first went to her university, her roommate was an American girl. She wondered how Chimamandas English was so good. She was surprised when she found out that English was the official language in Nigeria. When she asked to hear some of her tribal music, she was embarrassed to put in a tape of Mariah Carey.

When she was a girl in Nigeria she would right stories based on the American and British books she had read. They would drink ginger beer. In the books that she read they would talk about the weather. But there was no need to talk about the weather in her stories. It was the same from day to day.

When she was growing up her family got a house boy. His name was Fide. All she knew about his family was that they were very poor. When she went to through her food away, her mom would say not to do that, because fides family would do anything to get that food. Not to waste a thing. Sometimes fide would come over and have dinner with her family. But he would usually take the food home for his family.

Everyone thinks that people that live in poor counties have nothing at all. But Chimamanda proved everyone wrong.

Deserted Island

Filed under: Uncategorized —— austin221 @ 1:36 pm

If I was stuck on a island for 1 year and i could only bring 5 things, i would bring;

1) My 20 gauge shotgun with plenty of shells. I would use this to hunt and to protect myslef from  any predators on the island.

2) My best friend Jamie. She could help me set up camp on the island. She also knows alot about plants. She could tell me which ones are poisoness.

3) A book on survival. Hopefully it could give me tips on how to survive.

4) Fishing nets. I could set the up around the island. Hopefully it would get me lunch.

5) Lighters. They should help me start the fire.

Famous Person

If i could meet anyone in the world, alive or dead, it would be General Dwight D. Eisenhower. He was a general in the 2nd World War. After that, he became president in 1953. I want to personally meet him because he was in the same platoon as my grandfather. He was a Marine for over 20 years. He lead the attack on Pellelu. I would ask him what it was like during WW2? How many peopledied in his platoon? And what was it like to be president?

Single Story

Filed under: Uncategorized —— austin221 @ 1:22 pm

Some of the stories she would talk about were: When she went to a university and her room mate judged her. When she felt pity for that other family for not having anything.

This made her a better person. It helped her understand what people thought of people who lived in Africa.

Default Settings: When people would think the same things happen in every country. Where all countries had big cities and nobody lived in poverty.
