Describe and explain what is the one thing you like the most in this class? What was your least favorite and why? What is the one thing you would improve about this class? How?
   The thing that i like most in this class is that it is quiet. I like it being quiet because i can concentrate better. I cant concentrate when there is a lot of noise. Its hard to concentrate with a lot of people talking around me.
   I can do my lessons rigorous. When i can concentrate, i can do the things right. Another thing that i like about the class is that it is always fresh. It isn't hot anymore like in the past.
   One thing that i would improve about the class is to stop procrastinating in class. I wouldn't leave my journal behind anymore because then i get too lazy to do them and then it takes a long time for me to finish them when they are due. I would also do my lessons on time.

If you could be either the most attractive, the most athletic, or the smartest kid in your class, which would you choose? Why? What are the benefits?

   I would want to be the most athletic. I would want to be the most athletic because there are ways of getting into colleges for being such a good player. the colleges notice you and the they would want you to play for their team.
   It would be vanity to be the most attractive because I don't think it would get you far in life. being athletic can make you go pro and you can make a lot for being a professional at any sport. I would ant to be a professional basketball player.
   Being the smartest kid in class would also be good but i don't want other people to think I'm a nerd. i would want to be a normal kid with good grades and to be the most athletic. That would be good.

Do you agree with all 11? Why or why not? Which one stood out in your mind the most? List the 3 most important too you, prioritize them and explain why you chose them.

I do agree with all 11 because they are true. They are true because they have happened to people in life. The one that stood out the most was number 11. It stood out because the nerds usually end up with a really good job. They put in a lot of work and all that hard wok gets them a good job.

I prioritize numbers 1, 5, and 6. They are important to me because life is not fair. You cant get the things you want unless you work for them. There are times when you don't get opportunities to do things because another person took your chance. Thats not fair but its just how life is, it isn't fair.

Number 5 is important to me because before people had a hard time looking for jobs. We have the chance to get good jobs but thats if we go to college and look for a well paid job. In the past that wasn't possible. People had to be flipping burgers because they weren't citizens or residents so they would have to flip burgers.

Do you think we should have a final for this class? why or why not? What is a good measure of what you learned this semester?

I don’t think that we should take a final for our class. People who are in the border line of failing and or getting a good grade. We have had a lot of lessons and we’ve tried really hard.

We don’t want it to go down just because of some assessment. That would just put all of our hard work go to waste. That’s not fair. other people would think the same.

I have learned a lot this semester. I have a good grade and if we take this test it will affect it badly. I don’t want my grade to go down.

What does the phrase "when you know better, you do better." mean?

The quote means that the people who know more do better in life. They know what’s right and what’s wrong. They try to do everything right. This makes them successful in life.

People who do things wrong in life make them suffer. They struggle because they make wrong decisions in life. They learn from their mistakes though.

The people who learn from their mistakes do better. They do better because they learn not to make the mistake again. It’s a good lesson learned.

Would you rather live in a cold region that snows all the time or a hot region that is over 100 degrees all the time? Explain why. You have to pick one.

I would rather live in a cold region because you can keep yourself warm. When it’s really hot it’s hard to get some coolness in you. the hotness just makes you frustrated and its really uncomfortable.

When it’s cold a way you can get warm is by putting on a lot of blankets and drinking hot chocolate. You can’t do any of these things when its hot. You cant be shirtless outside either.

I don’t like it when it’s hot. I hate arid weather. I just like the cold weather. That’s why id rather prefers living in a place that snows a lot.

What are the dangers of the internet? Are the parents in the video Justified in their concerns? How can parents be more vigilant and protect their children?

The dangers of the internet are the things that are being posted. There are sites that make kids want to kill themselves. There is also face book which lets you know what’s going on in people’s lives and the events that are going to happen.

People are vigilant in the internet. They don’t recognize the dangers. The parents keep an eye on their children in the video. Other parents just tell the parents to not get into their kids lives.

The parents make their children feel trapped. They are always keeping an eye on them and it just doesn’t let them do much.
