Servive learning

Day 4 I think is going to be another very important day. Now every body has jobs that they need to do.I also know that we are going to be doing a lot of running around because we already have the paper typed up that we are giving to the teachers and studeants so all we need to do is print enought out and hand them out. But we need to get all the papers back because there's questions on their that needs to be answered. So we know how every one feels about our service learning since they are going to be invloved.

Day 3 of service I knew it was going to be the most important service learning day because we did a lot of things on the last service learning. I actually hsd some form of homework to do. I had to go home and type up the paeper that we were talking about during the class. So I knew that that this class was gping to be a lot about fixing the paper and making sure it was good enough to hand out to students and teachers.

Day 2 of service learnrig I was thinking that it was going to be so hard because we kinda did some work but it was not all that yet. I thought that we were going to talk about weather we was going to teach at a middle school in the neighborhood or teach 9th and 10th graders in our school because that issue came up in the first servive learning. So I thought that this service learnig was going to be kinda harder because we actually had questions that needed to be talked about and answered.

Day 1 of service laerning I did not have any thing prepared because I did not want to get work and every thing all ready because I heard that we were not doing the same thing as last year tourting. Anyway I thought the fisrt day was going to be easy any way because we were just going to set arorund and get to know every body in the group and talk about what kind of work we were going to do for the next service learning day.

SERVICE LEARNING [APRIL 25]

On friday service learning went well. We finished a lot of things in our group. Last service learning we made questions for the teachers and the students to answer. Well I was the person who had to type the paper up. I typed it up over the weekend and brought it in on friday. When my group cam together we printed the paper out that I typed and then we read over it as a class. We fixed a lot of things on the paper. Then I went and typed the paper over and made it better and make more sense. As I was typing the paper up my group was talking about what we would do for the next service learing. After the paper was all typed up and done we gave every body a job. Like we have a leader, reporter and more. I think is was the best service learning so fat because he did a whole lot and because the class went so fast.

SERVICE LEARNING

On the last service learning day I felt as though we did a good job. Every thing worked pretty good. In my group so far we have made questions for the teacher and students about how they would feel about having us help them with any work that do not understand. So far my undersatnding of my group so far is that we cant go out and teach younger kids from another school so we have to help students in our own school. I like my group a lot so far we are working well together. In my group I'm supossed ti=o write the questions for the students and teachers so they could pass them out and answer them.

Empire of the Sun


In English class we saw a movie called empire of the sun. The main character of the movie was a young boy named Jim also known as Jamie. In this short essay I would like to talk about how Jamie had a major character change in the movie. In this movie I would like to tell you his behavior when he was rich, poor and had nothing.

When the movie first started Jamie was rich and he had every thing. He had family and a big house. So as you know having every thing Jamie was very happy but he was kind of rude to his maid. He felt as though they had to do every thing he said.

After Jamie lost his mother and father in the big crowd you could see Jamie’s whole attitude changing. He was very scared and was acting like a crybaby. After his mother and father were lost in the crowd he returned home. You could see Jamie felt so sad. He looked all-lonely. When Jamie went out to find something to eat, He was real scared. He then gave up and started walking around saying he surrender to the soldiers.

Towards the end of the movie, the most interesting part of the movie to me Jamie made a total change. He walked around like he was a gangster but he cared about a lot of people though. Jamie did things he would never have thought about doing in the begging of the movie. Jamie was stealing from people. You can tell he hit rock bottom because in the begging of the movie Jamie had it all, he did not need to steal. He stood up for his self and others. For example the soldiers was about to destroy the hospital Jamie stood up for every one and the solider backed down. Even though Jamie was acting so hood he still was kind of soft. He cared a lot about his friends or family.


In conclusion I think that Jamie had so many character changes this movie. He went from happy to being a crybaby, to becoming a gangster. I really liked this movie it was so interesting and I hope that we could see some more good movies like this one.

SERVICE LEARNING

In my service learning group all we really did was talk with each other and the teacher. In my group we talked about what we wanted to do with our service learning. We did not really come up with anything in the group. It was kinda a waste.

three postivies

1. Mostly ever body got along in our group. so I know we are not going to have so many conflicts between the students because we all got along with each other.

2. Our group is small. That is good because sometimes when there is a big group of people trying to talk about a big topic such as service learning. With so many people trying to talk it wont work.

3. A good amount of people including me in the group did this same service learning last year so we were able to talk to the 9th graders about what we did last year.


three Negatives

1. Somebody acted liked they anit want to be in the group so they did not really care about it.

2. It was to funny some people were not getting along but I found it very funny.

3. I don't think this group id going to get to far I dont see where we are going with this. I dont understand why we can't do what we did last year.
