Conclusion
·         What did you notice while using each ingredient?
·         Why do you think this occurred (use scientific language)?
·         Did everything go well during the lab? If no, what would you change next time?
 
 
1. I noticed that even though all of the ingredients were different it still increased the density of the water until the water was more dense then the egg causing it to float.
2. I think this occurred because the ingredients increased the density until the water became more dense then the egg causing it to float.
3. No everything did not go well in the lab because a past student from Fairhaven school came to help and talk to Mr.Catton and he broke an egg and it splattered everywhere.

Progress Reports Reflections

  1. What do you think of your progress report?  What are you happy with?  Why are you not happy with? 
  2. What can you do during term 2 in order to improve your progress report?
1. I am quite happy with my progress report because of my grades.   I do need to make a few changes in my behaviour at school so i do not need to be sent out of the room or need to be talked to privately.  I am happy about the grades i got on my report card but not the comments from my teachers.
2. I can behave better so i do not need to be sent out of the room or be talked to or get bad comments from the teachers on my progress report.  Hopefully my grades will not lower next report card on go higher so i can get into Tommy Douglas Collegiate without any troubles.

When I form an impression...

1. When you form impressions or opinions about people you people you first meet, what kinds of things do you consider: their looks, clothing, where they are, what they are doing, etc.?

When I meet someone for the first time many things go through my head.  The first thing i notice when i meet someone for the first time is how they look.  I notice first of all what they wear and what there features are.  I notice what there face looks like how well they are in sports and if they are friendly.  I notice if they have a good sense of humour and how they act, if they are nice and humorous I enjoy being around them and hanging with them. If they have a poor sense of humour and are mean and rude I will try to avoid them.  I notice if they are annoying or just act idiotic i do avoid going near them. That is how i judge the people i meet.

2.How would you answer the question Who are you?.

If i were to describe myself to someone I would tell them I am tall and big I white with brown eyes and brown hair I am Partially deaf and I wear glasses because i and far sighted so i can’t see far away objects as well.  I enjoy playing sports such as Volleyball, Football, Kickball, Badminton, Dodge ball.

D-day veteran interview

Holocaust-Expository Writing

By: Aaron Vukelic
Holocaust-Expository Writing
Directions:
Imagine Erica, Peter or Daniel's mother are still alive. Pick one of the three characters and ask yourself, "What questions would you like to ask the character?” Explain why your questions are important to you. Tell the character what you've learned and how you feel after hearing their story. If you can relate her experiences to any conditions facing your generation, explain those connections. Describe for the character what you will do to teach future generations the lessons you've learned from studying the Holocaust.

The person I chose to do is Daniel’s mother. The first question I would like to ask is how does it feel to lose a loved one to the likes of Hitler? Another question I would like to ask Daniel’s mother is how do you feel about the German race today? One more question I would like to ask is how did it feel to watch all those people die? My last question is what were you thinking when you were split apart from Daniel and Daniel’s father? These questions are important to me because I have wanted someone to answer these questions since I have read “Daniel’s Story”. I feel these are the most important questions to know the answers to. I have learned about one of the darkest times in history known as the Holocaust. I have learned how Adolf Hitler took over many countries and how he discriminated the Jewish population from the German race forcing them into ghetto’s, death camps, and work camps with no one to rescue them until the day had come that the Russian’s had gotten enough information to form an attack on the Germans to free what was left of the Jewish population. I have learned how Jewish people were killed and tortured and how cruel the guards were. I have learned that the guards were not mean people but were normal people who only did it because they needed to provide food for their families. I learned what the swastika meant and I had learned why the Holocaust had started and how it ended. I feel that I am quite happy and sad because Daniel and his father and Rosa had escaped but his loved ones and friends did not. I will teach the younger generation by telling them stories, showing them pictures and videos and reading them novel’s about the Holocaust. I will show them what happened in the camps and even outside the camps. That is how I will teach the future generations.
