Soccer doesn't take talent it takes passion and dedication

In 1986 on a floating village in Thailand a group of boys loved to watch football but never actually played. One day a boy had the idea to make their own team.
                                                           Space
They had nowhere to play so they  gathered wood from around the village and started to make their own pitch There were nails everywhere and it was really slippery so the ball went in the water and so did they. They saw an ad for a championship so they decided to enter. Once the villagers started to believe in them They got jerseys and uniforms and boots.
                                                          Championship
When they got to the Championship they were nervous  but turned out even better than they thought.At the end they ended up at the semi finals.
                                                      How they knew how to play
 At the semi finals it was all wet and their boot filled with water.They were losing by 2  at halftime. They didn't know what to do they took off all their shoes and they played how they were used to. Then they tied up but the other team made a last second shot. The team was devastated but they were happy thy got that far. They made third place. After they made their team Football became Panyee's number one pastime.

Trimester reflection

Iv'e enjoyed being in the blue group in math because it make me feel like i am definitely improving in math. also enjoyed learning about the american revolution. We got to watch movies about the revolution and they were really cool and informational. We had a simulation where we pretend to be people from the american revolution and we got to chose which side to be on (if you were neutralist) and you could be a Patriot or a loyalist. I chose to be a Patriot.
The blue group in math has also been hard though.It had harder work than everyone else and at times I wished that I had everyone else work. I had to have a lot of help on negative and positive integers. Especially when they were decimals.
I can not wait for summer. I am going to California to visit a lot of people. I think middle school is going to be very hard because I am not good a homework. I do homework I just don't turn it in.

Emma's Timeline

Independence

The Patriots have gained more people. I have now decided to switch to the Patriots too. I switched to  the Patriots right before a congress so I gained 40 pows so now I have 63 pows. The Patriots have started to win more arguments or propositions so it looks like the Patriots are going to win our revolutionary war. Here is a video of one of our proposals in our continental congress.

I liked doing the speeches and asking questions that affect which faction we are going to go to. I didn't like answering all the crisis questions and the quizzes we took after congresses. I didn't like it when the loyalists  took a pact against me and they arrested me.

Math Night

I was in the blue group so my group did a project on paper airplanes. Our Question was which style plane would go the furthest. It all depends on thrust drag and lift and weight.we found out the destroyer went the farthest and the lame mobile went the least farthest.

I liked our game we got to pick out a plane and throw it at Gabe and if we hit his stomach we get a ticket. Also I didn't like when we had to stand at our tables for nothing because no one came.I think Math Night was fun and not fun but i mostly enjoyed it because of the game.

Narrative Reflection.

I think I did well by narrating the story and painting pictures in people's minds. I think it was a lot easier than dialogue. You can read my narrative right here. I enjoyed writing it and making the plot diagram and editing and revising and peer revisions. I liked revising shoshana's narrative it was very good you can read it here. What do you think I did well on?

I think I could work on putting in more dialogue. I think Putting in dialogue is harder for me because I cant really fit it in. I don't know how to put dialogue in.  Like how to fit it in like if you say and she said... or if you say "  blah blah blah" she said It is just hard for me.

literary essay self reflection

I think I was good at looking deeper into what the connections mean like why losing their mothers was important or why it was important that they were so alike. I think the most fun of easy thing was getting evidence like why i thought that she said that I had to look in the book to see if she actually said they were alot alike. I think the hardest part for me was finding things to support my thesis. I had to find certain part in the book that supported the thesis. like when I said she grew to love her I had to find evidence in the book that that was true.what do you think I was good at and what do you think I was bad at?
