One main character was Byron, someone whose character drastly changed after the trip.]]> 2018-03-21 20:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/3094321/5gp8wq3p5mov/wish/244745600 3094321 https://padlet.com/3094321/5gp8wq3p5mov/wish/244747439 Towards the end of October, we made a google slide with the theme, "Music Sends Messages". We were told to present a section of one song, and explain how that section relates to many current struggles.]]> 2018-03-21 20:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/3094321/5gp8wq3p5mov/wish/244747439 3094321 https://padlet.com/3094321/5gp8wq3p5mov/wish/244748817 In my opinion, the best thing I read all year was "The Watsons go to Birmingham", because it addressed the fact that many people were, and still are racist towards people of a certain race,  religion, or ethnicity. Many people look at others and judge them at first glance. It also showed me that because of this racism, acts of terrorism are being caused and worst of all, the people causing them believe that they are correct in doing so.]]> 2018-03-21 20:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/3094321/5gp8wq3p5mov/wish/244748817 3094321 https://padlet.com/3094321/5gp8wq3p5mov/wish/244750783 I believe that I have done many things this year, but what I am most proud of is learning how to write essays quickly. I now know how to write a decent essay in an hour or two, given that I have a topic to write about, and that i know information about the topic. Thanks to many essays and character analysis', I know a standard form of writing essays, how to write them, and how to include evidence and keep the reader interested. ]]> 2018-03-21 20:27:34 UTC https://padlet.com/3094321/5gp8wq3p5mov/wish/244750783 3094321 https://padlet.com/3094321/5gp8wq3p5mov/wish/244755320 A Socratic Seminar is similar to a debate, in which we talked about a topic, with a moderator who keeps the conversation going by asking questions about the topic. We had a total of two seminars, with one topic being about civil rights, and another on  the contribution of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". In the Socratic Seminars, I found that I was prepared and had a good amount of information, but, I think I talked too much... In both Socratic Seminars...]]> 2018-03-21 20:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/3094321/5gp8wq3p5mov/wish/244755320
