*Persuasive Writing: To begin writing persuasively, we learned how to effectively argue. We discussed different cases, such as wearing armbands to school and wearing band t-shirts to school. I learned that no argument has a true "wrong" or "right" side. Eventually, I chose my own topic in order to write a persuasive essay. My main argument was that school should start later in the day so they can get more sleep.
*Blue Ribbon Ceremony: I chose someone that made a positive difference in my life. In preparation for the Blue Ribbon Ceremony, I decorated a blue ribbon, wrote a 6-word memoir about my guest, and constructed a paragraph describing why and how my guest impacted my life in a positive way. I got to present my guest with these artifacts at the Blue Ribbon Ceremony on Friday, November 16, 2012. My favorite part of this activity was being able to see how many people, that are so different in personality, make a huge difference together. Watching all my classmates go onstage and tell how they have been affected was truly inspiring.

Entrepreneurship Group
Project
The business I chose for this project is I'm not doing it. My group and I were not able to interveiw an imaginary person so we didn't interveiw anybody.
One of the most interesting things I learned was that Ashley can't hold a camera steady. I am looking forward to the reaction my mom has when she sees I refused to do it.
