I personaly like the poetry unit because it is really fun to write poems and I think I am pretty good at it my favorite poems are the funny ones I have wrote a lot of poems and I like doing it. Everyone had to make a where i’m from poem witch is a poem about your origins this is my where i’m from poem.

I am from

A piano that plays a soft smooth melody

From books and bookmarks

I am from a land of chaos

And yells and screams of anger

I am from a loud house but silent street

I am from a cherry tree

Whose roots are strong as iron

From Kolb and Cheevers

And from crazy and annoying

I am from a Thanksgiving feast

From turkey and potatoes

I am from doctors and lawyers

From a little pig toy

I am from a train and a car

I am from the moments of pain and misery

I am from a land of chaos

I am Matthew
-by Matthew

Overall the poetry unit is really fun and I want to do more of it.

During the immigration unit my main assignment had to pick a country in the 1890’s – 1930’s make up a person from those times and make a realistic video on Wevideo.com.  I chose france 1910 in Le Mans my person was Louis Petit. He had a brother named Hugo, a sister named Angelique, a mom named Marie, and a dad named Leo. He leaves because of poverty and wanting a new life. he has to pack and say goodbye to Astor, his cousin. He takes a train to Havre, France aand takes a boat called the S.S. Chicago. When he gets to Ellis Island he gets very confused but over his course of time on Ellis Island he gets less confused. In the aftermath he is happy with his new life but when he figures out that Astor died he gets very sad. Overall the immigration assignment was great.

I think that my second and third Sphero lessons did much better than my first because we did not have technical difficulties and it just went smoother. First after they signed in we would teach them how to do a rectangle then we taught them about loop and reset aim. then we made them use a ramp. This was hard for them but they did it. Our First group was better but they were both great. Overall the second and third lesson did a lot better than the first. Here is an image of my group working, I am  taping a ramp down well everyone else is working on the program.

I think our first sphero lesson was good except for the technical difficulties our first group Matthew and Zach were better than Jack and Megan (our second group) We got everything done so i’m very happy. I was scared that I would mess up before but then I stop feeling that. during the lesson we taught my groop roll and how to make a square. they understood it well. at the end we showed them the fortune teller program and they liked it. Overall it was a great experience.
