When I found out we were doing a debate about plastic bags I was very happy. I got a group and we started reading articles, highlighting, and annotating. That is how I got all my research! When we found out if we were on the pro or con side I was very happy with what I got! Even though I did not really agree with my topic I still researched it.  I got a lot of research from the articles. We started writing down reasons and evidence. I was focusing on how plastic was bad for the environment and my partner focused on how it is bad for the animals. We started doing counterarguments with My other group members that were doing the pro side. I did the intro and reasons. My partner did the conclusion and reason.  The debate experience was really fun!

Rube Goldberg – First Blog Post

The Rube Goldberg machine is a contraption made up of a lot of objects. You could use simple machines or other objects. It is hard to make and while you’re trying it out you may go through a lot of failures in the process. That is a very frustrating part of the Rube Goldberg machine.

When I heard about the Rube Goldberg machine I was excited to try something new and be very creative about it. Even though it was fun it was also really hard. When I needed to figure out all the steps and the objects it took a while. I needed to redraw my machine because the first drawing did not work out. Those are challenges of the machine.

While making the Rube Goldberg machine there was trial and error. If one thing did not work I would try something else. I needed to add simple machines and also replace objects with other things. That was very hard. While testing it out, it did not work sometimes. I needed to redo it. That was what it is like testing the machine.

Making the Rube Goldberg machine was very fun and hard at some points. All of the mistakes and revisions were hard to create. While making this project I needed to be creative and smart. The Rube Goldberg project was very fun.

I have been learning about how to write summarys. This is a book I read so I am writing a summary about it. I learned to tell not every thing in the story. Just a little. And  I also learned you should call the characters by there name.

New neighbors moved in a house next door. But there was a tree that was a little special But Bradley, Brian, Nate, Lucy left toys in that tree. They need a way to get it back. They spy on them all day. They tried so many ways that they got it Operation Brian They snuck out at midnight and every buddy helled Brian up with there hands Brian jumped over the fence! But there was a dog that was named Daisy and jumped on Brian! Two ten year olds came out of the house! And grabbed Daisy. Brian and Bradley dad mom  came out. Everyone went inside the house. All of the kids toys were on the table.Mrs Sargent and Mr Sargent knew they were coming. Just then Josh said he heard the crew tiptoeing in the hall way.
