Blog #13

Week 13

       So this is the last blog of the year and it's about how we did on the 20% project. I didn't know what to do because I came into the class late and I didn't really understand the teacher's explanation about the project. I thought we just had to do blogs on random things like what we did that week or anything you wanted to. Then the 3rd quarter ended and my teacher talked to me and said what I've been doing for the 20% project and I said nothing. He told me I'd loose a lot of points and I did. I finally knew what we were suppose to do for the 20% project and I was going to do it with a friend named Diego. I then realized that he doesn't really care about school so I asked someone else named Victor if I can join him on his project. He said yes and I started researching a bit about the topic. I didn't have much time because I joined him about a month before it was due. So i basically did nothing for 20% of my grade. We actually started working on it about two weeks before it was due and I guess we both got lazy and barely did anything. We were suppose to do so much more but our procrastination got to us. Basically we didn't finish and just showed what we were suppose to do for the project. It was horrible and I don't expect to get a good grade. I did pretty bad this year and I'll try to do better next year.

20% Project Week 12

Week 12:

    

       We already started our presentation and all we need to do is finish it. I hope we do a good job because I need my grades to go up. Trending shoes is our topic and we need to practice what we're going to do. I don't know what to do it on because we haven't talked to much about it. When we finish it, I'm going to practice it the day before because after all, it's worth 20% of our grade. I'm going to work on it at home because my partner can't so I have to do the work after school. We barely started working on it like 3 weeks ago to be honest but we had the idea for like 2 months. 

     

20% Project Week 11

Week 11:

     We know what we're going to do our presentation with and it's with google presentation. We're starting on the project today, 2 weeks before it's due. I think it's enough time if we work on it and put effort in it. I'm going to practice my slides and he is too so we can be prepared. I'm really going to try on this because it's worth so much of my grade and it's the end of the year so I'm going try my hardest.

Week 10:

I haven't done anything because I've been busy or lazy the whole time. We know what what we're going to present with and it's with google presentation. I'm doing doing formal shoes and Victor is doing random trending shoes that a lot of people are buying. I'll try to put more effort in this the coming weeks because I think i'll be as busy when my season is over. I really like certain formal shoes because they're a mix of formal and street shoes at the same time. I think that'll make the project easier for me since i'll enjoy it instead of doing something i don't like. Our presentation will be honest like in the beginning, we'll say if we wished we put more effort or not and not BS it. 

                                                      

Blog #9

     Week 9:

I haven't worked on the project lately because I've been sick and busy. We're still doing it on trending shoes and there hasn't been much of them lately. Almost everything is girl shoes that are trending. The few men's shoes that there trending are business shoes. The formal kind for jobs and stuff. I'd expect there to be more but not surprised that mostly all of them are women's. Victor is doing running shoes, like from adidas and nike. I'm doing the formal shoes because they're interesting to me.

Week 8:

   We changed our project to trending shoes. Not all shoes are like super nice for style but for protection. Like for the cold and hot weather. The trends change periodically aren't always the best.

Blog 1 and 2

Week 1:

I plan on doing American sports in the 1930's for my 20 percent. I like playing sports because they're fun and this would be a good fit for me. My partner and I both agreed on the topic so that's good. I'm into baseball and he's into soccer so we could both focus on something different. We're not just doing those sports, but others like football, basketball and even boxing. The 1930's was a really long time ago and I'm pretty sure the sports are different from how they are now.

Week 7:

     Yesterday we finally won a game and it was a league game so we're now 1-1 in league. We've been getting better ever since our game on Friday. We were doing okay scoring every once in a while and the other team was still winning by five. In the last inning, we brought five runs in to tie the game. For third period, the class made ice cream for a lab in chemistry. It took a while to make and there wasn't enough for everybody so everyone ran to make it pretty much. A few people didn't get any like me, but I shared with my friend. It was pretty good and I put so much chocolate it didn't even taste like ice cream. After my game on Friday, I got a PS4 game I've been waiting for over a year. It's called Infamous: Second Son and it's amazing. It looked great visually and the story was also good, but short. I don't play games lately unless great games come out like Infamous or other games. 

Blog #6

    I'm on the frosh baseball team at Savanna and we haven't been doing good at lately. Aryan getting hurt just makes everything worse and we need to get better soon because league is coming up. We're 0-4 so far and been killed in three of those. I've been practicing outside of school to try and get better. I've stricken out every time I've gone to bat. I'm excited for baseball season because its coming up the week of spring break.

The Past Week

     The past week, I've been doing good in school. I've completed and turned in most of my assignments for my classes. I'm trying to keep my grades really high because I want to go to a four college and I recently talked to my councilor about my future. On Tuesday, we had a game against Northwood and I'd rather not say the final score. I think I did the best defenselessly, but I did really bad offensively. I still don't know what to do with the 20 percent project because I wasn't here that long.

Week 3 30's Research Project

Week 3 30's Research Project

     I've researched a bit of my 30's paper and I found some interesting that I didn't know about. Like that two leagues joined together to form the NBA or that an African American won gold medals and proved Hitler wrong about Aryan superiority. I knew notable baseball players at the time and learned two other players team I didn't know they were on. I didn't know boxing was so big at the time. They sold over like 70,000 tickets to see a fight at Yankee Stadium. The NFL had a first college draft of some sort and some player used a move and was used often. Horse Racing was also quite big at the time and three horses accomplished amazing feats of some sort. I still haven't started on my 20% project because I don't know what to do and what to do it on.
