An exhausting week!

This week has been an extremely busy one. We had a lot of work to turn in, 2 tests, and 2 quizzes. I think I did quite good on them. In our History class, we're starting a new chapter on African in WWI. I hope it'll be as interesting as the previous ones. 
In IT class, we've started our class blog. We're still deciding on the title, so if you have any suggestions, you can say it in the comment box. 
We had activity day today and I had student council. We've decide to have a spirit week in march, and we're trying to plan a badminton tournament. We'll see how it turns out. 
Tomorrow's finally friday, hopefully I'll have a great weekend. 


African-American month is approaching and the theme this year has to do with Martin Luther King and Non violence. Here's a link to an article about a guy who talks about how to remove a dictator from power non violently. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/17/world/middleeast/17sharp.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=mr%20sharp&st=cse

Cry, the beloved country

We've started reading a book in class called "Cry, the beloved country". I really like the theme of this book because it talks about the troubles that black go through in a society where they have few rights. The main character of the book Steven Kumalo worries  that blacks are living their native land to go to other cities. The black society is struggling to keep their native land together.

School week of 02/07/11 - 02/11/11

We've been doing a lot of interesting things this week. In French class, we had to do a research project on the origins of Valentine's day. I learned that Valentine's day is not just the day when you celebrate love and friendship the day of celebration of the Roman Saint Valentin, a martyr of love. 

In history class, we've been studying the colonization of Africa and the colonial rule. I find it very interesting because it explains a lot of things in today's world. 

In science, we started Nuclear Chemistry which is very interesting. I learned you can create bombs with Uranium.
Finally, the parent-teacher conference is tomorrow, and I hope teachers say good things about me to my parents. 

Creating a blog

The third quarter has started an our first LITC project is to create this blog. Today, we learned basic information about blogs. I learned that a blog is a social network where you can post information about yourself, share ideas with friends and participate in discussions. The teacher says we have to post one blog entry per week and I have no idea what this blog project is going be like. I hope it won't be boring. I also hope to get a good grade at the end of this project.
