We just finish working on a Making Laws Webqest and that had to do with the legislative branch of government. We are sharing lesson plans with Social Studies so that is why we are doing projects with government. We are also working on our gold packets every day, and with those we work on correcting sentences and the parts of speech.

*Persuasive Writing: 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... that arguing doesn't always have to be verbal, it can be arguing on paper too. Eventually, I chose my own topic in order to write a persuasive essay. My main argument was... that sports are the best pass time.
*Blue Ribbon Ceremony: 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... being able to get up there and telling about how my mom made a positive impact on my life. Although it was scary when I was up there presenting, I'm glad I got the opportunity to do it.

Entrepreneurship Group Project
The business I chose for this project is Images Photography.My group and I were able to interview Craig Kienest on Monday, December 9, 2012. One of the most interesting things I learned was that he originally didn't want to photograph people. I am looking forward to seeing the finished project of our documentary.
