Goals/ Quarter 3 Evaluation

I completed almost all my goals that i set for 3 quarter! I improved my Socratic seminars, and some of my tests and quizzes. But i didn't complete AR by the second week of school. Though over all i think i id a pretty good job.
Some goals that i would st for myself for fourth quarter, are to finish AR as quickly as possible, get a head start on UBD or (poppulation Project) and make it easy to finish rathher then craming it all in for the last few days, and a goal for entering high school would probably be to achive and have fun!

Oxymoron

The phrase "Holy War" is an oxymoron because war is usually not considered as a holy act. If you're religion prevents you to kill someone, but whenever you have war you do kill someone, technically you're not following you're religion. This is not always a bad thing, if you kill some one just because you want to and you're holy book states that it is a crime to kill a person, then, yes you've committed a crime, and it is considered a terrible act. However, if you kill someone with a decent reason, like the man is a terrorist, even if you're book tells you not to, it wouldn't be considered that bad. Also if you're in war, then its also not considered a bad thing because you're fighting for you're country.

Experiances With King Coyle

Our experiances with King Coyle were awfal! Our experiances with King Coyle, were definatley simaler to what the colanists faced with British goverment, only less harsh. For example: The colonists had to pay taxes and extra money to have cirtan things in there life, like tea, and cloth. We, the M1 students faced simaler conditions. We had to pay King Coyle if we wore denim, orthodontic products, or jewlry. This would be considered injustice. And beacause we didn't like the conditions we were in (tyranny) it led to self determination to rebel against King Coyle and put him out of leadership so we could live normally again.

Where Does This Book Take Place?

I think the book 43 War too place in El Salvador. Some reasons are, that El Salvador is in central america. This is important because on the back cover of the book it is mentioned that the book takes place in central america. Another, is that Honduras lies north east of El Salvador. This is also importent because Honduras is also metioned in the book. Some geographical confermations are that the climates and tropical suroundings discribed in the book match with the ones in El Salvador. Some economical simalarites between El Salvador and the unknown location in the book are that both don't have booming econemys which is clearly shown in the book. And lastly, the foods which are consumed in the book, such as beans, and tortials, are some of main foods eaten in El Salvador. And thats why i think the story 43 War take place in El Salvador.

Thoughts on Joining the Military

The country I live in, India, does not require military service after high school. I think this has posative points to it aswell as negative. Its good because youre not being forced to join the military, but then again, it also may be bad because youre county needs help if its fighting a war. The only way i would fight in the military is if my family or friend life was at stake. Otherwise i'd probaly be too scared to join.

Which Animal?

Out of all the animals in the book “Animal Farm" The character that i think i share most similarities with, is probably Squealer. Here's why: Squealer likes impressing everyone with his long, fluent, and rather complicated sentences, you can gather from that, that he likes to talk allot. And every one who knows me is certain that I do to. Another similarity between us is that we both seem constantly hyper. You can tell squealers hyper because he always hops around and wags his tail even when he’s making an important speech. And of course squealer wanted power, and let’s face it everyone wants a little bit of power, so in that way he is also like me.

Cold War Simulation

When playing the Cold War in class, there were five teams or "countriess"; USA, USSR, Latin America, Africa and Europe, and Asia and the Middle East. My team was Africa and europe. The objective for the game was for the top two countries "USA, and USSR", to get as many allies as possible, and for the other three countries to get as many assighned points as many possible. Happily, My team won the most amount of points, a total of 115! I was really suprised by this because at the very beging of the class we had the least amount of points. Out of the top two contries, the USSR, won the most allies.

One reason I enjoyed the game, was that it had many realistic features to it, such as miltary, allies, purchusing of countries, and techniques such as brinksmanship. I cant wait till we get to play another one of these games.

VC Project

First, you need a good topic idea for you're project. Then you need to make a script to go along with whatever picture or idea's you will present on you're movie clip, and save it on youre computer. Then, open VC (Visual Comunicator), and follow the instructionthat the program provides for you. These instruction will include choosing a title, backround, subtile, opening music, and whether or not you will will be using a V-Screen in youre back round.
Once this is done it will take you to the page on which you will begin to create you're movie on. Now, wherever you saved you're sript, copy and paste it into the given area on the VC page, it will say something like this "Copy Script Here".
Next, to go along with you're script, save any picture you have that go along with you're topic in any file on the computer. Then open them up on VC. Next to the script, you will se a little rectangle with a camera in it. Once you've goten you're picture up on VC drag it into the epmty box next to the camera. Then ajust the box and position it next to the writing you want the picture to come up with. Do this with any pictures you want on you're movie. Once thats done, you also need to drag a picture onto the V-Screen section. when doing this make sure that there is nothing in front of the computers camera.
Now, youre pretty much done all you have to do is publish the movie by clicking the publish button. Wiat for the video to load and you're done!
Some tips I should give you are to make this video in an as quiet area as possible, make sure you're computers camera is working, and lastly, Make sure you have VC!
