The problem I choose is I have to stop lying down in class. This matters to me because even though it helps me write better it really ennoys people. Some ideas I have been thinking about to experiment is to try different things everyday like one I’ll try sitting on a table and so on to see what works best. Some idaes I have been brainstorming to  is mabey there could be a place in the room where I could lie down and it won’t ennoy other people. Or could the sulltion be that I could sit at tables and still be okay.

My Teacher gave us an assiment to change a problem in the classroom.

• Some problems I have been brainstorming is I need to stop laying down in class.  I know thatit is very enoying to other kids that I lay down, but it is hard for me to write neet sitting chirs cross apple sause. I do wondor if I can sit at tables and write neat and not be ennoying to my fellow classmates, orf could the sullution be that I can get counsiquince?
• Another problem I have been noting is that my class takes to much time going over the directions again.  My teacher a number of times a week. Mabey if our teacher only would only say something once those kids would learn there lesson, or could the sulltion be that those people who ask what to do will not be talked back to?
• Another problem I am noticing is that our room is a mess. Loseleaf pappers are everywhere. Maybe if we did more stuff on the cumpture it would be less of a mess.

Shake Shack

 

First 2 Weeks

 

At first I wanted to study Italy, because I always wanted to learn about a country. My teacher told us we had to narrow down our idea. In other words narrow down what we are studying. When I started thinking of Italy I thought of pizza and I decided to study how and why is there an impact on pizza from Italy. While I was thinking of pizza I was also thinking of pizza restaurants, but then I got this idea how do you run a successful pizza restaurant. After that I thought to myself why should I do pizza, I want to study how do you run a successful restaurant. I was thinking of money and how much you pay your workers and commercials and secret recipes. The only problem was that there are so much restaurants and it still was such a big topic. Then I narrowed it down again and chose Shake Shack to be my example and that is the story of how I got from Italy to Shake Shack. I learned that this is how the thought process goes.

 

How I develop questions. This part was kind of easy because there was so much I could wonder about and follow up on. I had so many questions because I  did not know that much about Shake Shack. I was lucky that I picked something that I am very passionate about and willing to do. I’m willing to visit Shake Shack and do work. My questions were so much different than my classmates. I did not know if i had the right questions. But, my teacher said that there is no such thing a wrong question. I have a different topic than anyone in my class. There was no other kid in the class doing something on a business. My questions ending up working out. It was a good start because it pushed me to research different topics and helped me to organize what I needed to do.

Doing the research was easy at first because there was so much information on Shake Shack. But, when I later tried to do some more research the same articles kept popping up. Then I decided to buy the Shake Shack Book that tells all the recipes and stories and when it came in the mail I was safe again. The book tells everything from the plan in the beginning to how and why they are a worldwide phenomenon. It took me awhile to figure out doing text structures on the computer. It took me a long time to do it on top of that, but once the teacher showed the class an example of what it should look like I got it.

 

My teacher always said take it one step at a time don’t think about the end process. She was right. I was thinking about doing a video of Italy but it all changed now i’m doing Shake Shack and have all of this research. I don’t know what I would’ve done if my teacher did not show me the thought process.

 

Next two weeks

 

The second two weeks were the eassist for me because I scooped it out I made a plan it my notebook it was like this for site visits I could go to the shake shack in yonkers, for making things I could make the burgers, and I could get an interview with someone that works at the shake shack in yonkers.

 

What I ended up doing was going and eating at the shake shack yonkers and getting an interview with susana the manager at that shake shack. Coming up with the questions was easy I just used what I wanted to know about shake shack. I ended up making the burgers Which tasted so good. The recipe is in the video. This was so easy and fun.

 

Final two weeks

 

The final two weeks were Easy then chanling for a while then easy again. At first it was fun learning how to do a wevideo but then it got very changing, it took so long I kwas making the video one step at a time which took hours for one topic. So I decided to write a script I wrote everything I wanted to say then recorded  it and added images to go along with it now it was easy again.

 

Here is my note book
