Daily Routine II

For the past two days in American Studies Class we talked about all of the different plans that were proposed regarding the Executive branch. There was two sheets involved. One sheet was what each plan proposed in paragraph form and then we we asked to condense it down into shorter notes. Then today we focussed on the checks and balances that all of the different branches have with each other. First we cut out the checks and balances and glues then to another page with the cycle on it , then Mr. Boyle asked us to go on our iPads or laptops and create a better looking  visual representation for the jobs of each branch. The website didn't work on iPads so each group had to simply draw out the chart instead and now I have to ask one of my group members for a picture of it and post it to my blog ( I lack a smart phone).

Daily Routine

For the past two days in my E period history class we touched upon 2 large topics. These topics are the preamble to the Constitution and on how the legislative branch should be elected. On Tuesday when we were focusing on the preamble, we were split into 5 or so groups, which were spread out at desks around the room. We each had a line from the preamble and our assignment was to go about the room and write on each paper (at each desk) what the line meant to us(in our own words) , an example of how its working today, and an example of how its not.Today we were split into to different groups and given a paper with the opinions of the political figures in 1787. They all had different thoughts on the matter of electing officials to office to our job was to match each of their names with a summery of their ideas. There you have it, my honors history class for the last 2 days. More of this exiting material to come. Stay tuned.

Sam's ancient artifacts.

 Soccer Ball
This item is important to me because soccer is my favoirite sport and inturn the sport that I am best at. I would hope that if an achihologist was looking for in formation on me and found this item he would infer that I like to have fun and play sports with friends.


Skis
The skis also repersent my intrest in haveing fun with my friends. Skiing gives me a sence of freedom and is a feeling like no other. Nothing can match the magic of speading down a hill on snow or weaveing through trees with friends.


 Christmas Decoration
These Christmas decrations reopersent my enjoyment of spend quality time with my close and extended family. I do enjoy my time with friends but family is the most important priority of all.
