on In Refugee, the characters all leave there countries for different reasons. Josef left because he was a jew during the start of world war 2. Isabel left because she had a bad leader and her dad would go to jail if she didn’t leave. For Mahmoud he left because he was living in Syria when they were in a civil war. They are all similar because they were dangerous times.
on The book Crash by Jerry Spinelli is about a football player in middle school. He is a bully to a kid named Webb, because Webb is different, and he doesn’t realize who is doing it. He also likes a girl who hangs out with Webb and not Crash, because she knows that he is not nice.

When my group first met we all agreed to start a fan at the end of our project. We planned on dominos hitting the button. We tried, but it was too hard to hit the button to start it. It was too hard because the domino was not heavy enough to push the button down. I’m glad we switched to the toaster because it was easier and cooler to watch.
I think my favorite part was watching our project work. I liked that part because I got to see all of our hard work pay off. We wouldn’t have done as well if we didn’t put in the second hot wheels track. There’s not much I would have done differently if I did it again.

on Our group finally had a successful run of our Rube Goldberg machine after 50 attempts. Even though it took a lot of time, it finally worked. Throughout the project, there were many times when we couldn’t figure out how to make a step work, but we kept changing our steps and eventually made all of our steps work.
During our successful attempt, there were a few points that it looked like it was going to fail. For example, we had a cup attached to a popsicle stick by a string, but during the run, the string almost came off the cup and that would have ended the reaction. Also at the end of the run, the last book almost did not push the lever on the toaster. If that had failed, we would have been really annoyed. Even though our successful run was a little crazy, we did it!
