This year has made me very curious and excited about the new year. The projects we did were very fun and required a lot of cooperation and teamwork. This year we did learning from our differences and learning to look. Some of the projects we did were our passion projects, our toy theater, and our PSA project.

One of the read aloud’s we did was Tiger Rising, Blood on The River, and Book Scavenger. My favorite subject is art. The reason why my favorite subject is art is because I love to be creative and express my feelings through art. My favorite read aloud id Book Scavenger because it was a mystery and I love mystery’s. My favorite project is Toy Theater because it requires art work. 4th grade has been an amazing experience and I made new friends.

PSA Reflection

This year we did a PSA project and I really enjoyed it. PSA stands for Public Service Announcements. We were supposed to pick an ecosystem to do the PSA and I picked Oceans. Once we picked an ecosystem we researched our ecosystem. After, our research we made a script for our PSA. Before we started our Wevideo we made a storyboard. Once we finished our storyboard we started our Wevideo. The wevideo was fun and it was hard but before are final draft we had to do a couple of other drafts to get it perfect.

 

I had a fun time doing my Wevideo project and I want to help my ecosystem survive the pollution. The reason we did a PSA is because we want people to help our ecosystem to become a better place. I had so much fun doing this Wevideo and I hope people all over the world help my ecosystems.

Samuel Adams

This year I researched about Samuel Adams. I was interested in him because he was a part of the American Revolution. Samuel Adams was a strong men. I wanted to see what challenges he faced as a child and an adult.

 

Childhood

Samuel Adams was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on September 27, 1722. Samuel had a brother named, John Adams. As a boy, Samuel studied at Boston Latin School. Samuel went to Harvard College when he was 14 years old. After graduating college, he studied law for a short time. Samuel’s father was a church minister.

Samuel got his name, (Samuel Adams) from his father.

 

Adult Life

Samuel never wanted to learn how to ride a horse. Samuel was scared to talk about independence, but by 1775 Samuel was talking openly about independence. Samuel was on the top of the Kings “most wanted” list of american traitors. Adams went to work as a businessman. Adams took a job as a tax collector in Boston in 1756. Samuel represented Massachusetts at the Second Continental Congress. Samuel worked to get the first United States Constitution approved. Samuel helped form a group called, The Sons of Liberty. The Sons of Liberty was started to fight for their independence from Great Britain. Samuel Adams died on October 2, 1803, in Boston, Massachusetts.

 

Challenges

He was born at the time Great Britain ruled Massachusetts and other American Colonies. Samuel didn’t want to learn how to ride a horse so, he had to travel another way, when everybody else rode horses. As a tax collector, Samuel learned about Britain’s unfair taxes. Adams often took extreme steps to fight British laws.

 

Impact On The World

Samuel fought in battles for our independence, and he helped American soldiers fight the British. Samuel was included in the American Revolution. Samuels work helped form the United States. Samuel continued to be a part of American politics even after the War of Independence ended.
