Weekly Blog #10: Pls let's go already

HIIII, I feel really crappy today I don't know why, I have fever and my joints hurt so bad.  Guess I am finally dying and have a good night of eternal sleep. However, I am still doomed with this blog, so here's what we saw last week (even though I don't remember that well).

What I learn last week in SMRT 140

• Controlling deforestation in Brazil
• Paraphrasing 
• Xmas Exchange

You know SMRT wanted us to solve dorestation? Well we did, and this week we had an activity that consisted on watching a video that was related with deforestation. I was paired with Paola, and we had to watch a video about how Brazil is dealing with deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. It was really unfair that we had to make an outline of TWO VIDEOS, and everyone else just had to watch one, but it is fine, I'll get over it. It was really sad that we worked so hard to make the outline and we couldn't present. All because of a policemen presentation about how we shouldn't throw shade at them all the time. We'll probably present tomorrow so, prepare for awesomeness.

Another skill that worked last week was paraphrasing. There were several paragraphs that were taken from previous activities.and that we had to write again but weith our words. It was easy because we've done it several times in the past blocks. I don't have complaints about this, can you believe it?! WOOOoOooOw

The coolest thing about last week was that we planned our Christmas exchange, I am very excited and I want to give my gift already.

The word of the week is:

Deforestation (because it's the only word I remember)

Sorry for not adding gifs, I feel really bad. I love youuuuu byeeEEE.

Weekly Blog #9: SCIENCE FAIR STRESSES ME OUT

EDIT: I ADDED THE GIFS HIIII

HELLOOO IT’S YOUR FAVORITE ANNOYING TEEN GIRL.

As always, I did this at the last minute posible and the internet is gone! My sister and I are having a breakdown; however, I am a responsible procrastinator so I am doing this on my phone. There won’t be funny gifs becausr of this, so I apologize in advance. I love you. ❤️ Here’s what we saw last week:    

What I saw last week on SMRT 140:

• Deforestation 
• HOW TO SOLVE DEFORESTATION FOR DUMMIES 101
• Science fair is going to be the death of me

Last week we made activities about deforestation in Canada, mainly reading and listening, and it wasn’t that boring actually. We kept seeing how Canada manages to be one of the countries in all the world with a big forestry industry that doesn’t exploit their forests that much. I think we should learn from them and start taking them as an example.

Remember how Smrt wanted us to learn how to solve world poverty? Well, now they want us to solve deforestation too, isn’t that great? Hormonal 17 years old apparently know better than world leaders, but oh well. Miss K gave us time on Thrusday to come up with our action plan; I couldn’t work that well because I was really stressed out because of SCIENCE FAIR, but I believe Janice and I have a not so bad plan to keep trees alive on Earth.

In other news, SCIENCE FAIR ALMOST KILLED ME! It is relevant because it is our Smrt grade for our project this block, so it is important. We made a thermoelectric flashlight, and IT WORKED! All the presentation were amazing, I thing that the first places are going to be very tied. Omg there was a team that lasted for 48832884&328 presenting, it was super long, I thought their presentation was never going to finish, their idea was cool though.

Let’s all thank the revolución mexicana because we didn’t have classes today, thank you Mexico you are the real MVP.

This week’s vocabulary word is:

Afforestation 

Sorry again for being late and not having gifs, once I have internet I’ll edit this and add some images, I love you and thanks for reading. 💙💙💙💙

Weekly Update #8: Meh

I guess I am back with this blog because I have to, and I don't want to disappoint Miss K.

Not feeling good, but here's what we saw last week:

What I learned last week in SMRT 140

• Nuclear Energy
• Extreme Quiz of Animal Farm
• The Old Man and the Sea
• Unit 8

Remember I was complaining about how we had to make an essay about nuclear energy and how I was dreading the fact that I had to present, well it happened.

We kept seeing this topic and we did the essay (which turned out to be a lot more than 500 words), and it wasn't that bad. At first I thought it was going to be a boring topic and that I was not going to like it at all; however, I feel like we learned a lot from it. Nuclear energy is not that bad, sure it has its ups and downs, but it is a grat source of energy that can satisfy a lot of people.

A bad thingfrom this presentation was that it got very repetitive, but still, I found it very fun and interesting, plus we got to see me have a breakdown so, you're welcome (sorry about that).

We also had to make an extreme quiz of animal farm last week. IT WAS OF 64 QUESTIONS WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!!??!¡ Some questions were really specific and I had to look at the story several times. However, the story was really good and I enjoyed it a lot. 10/10 would read again.

Now that we are talking about reading and stuff, we also had to read the first part of the "short" story The Old Man and the Sea. So far I am liking it alot. It is about an old fisherman in Cuba, that has had a bad luck streak and that is not planning on extending it, so he goes one more time and has spend, until now, 3 days on his boat trying to catch a fish. 

I feel really sad about the old man, and how he is trying not to give up. I am looing forward into finishing it and finding out how the story will end. Please don't let the old man die. :(

On friday we started Unit 8, with deforestation. We couldn't finish the activity but it seems like a nice and not so boring topic, so I am not complaining about it ... yet.

The word of the week is:

Livestock

Thanks for reading, and sorry for my breakdown. I love you.

Weekly Update #7: I AM BACK CHUMPS!

I thought I wasn't going to come back to this hell, but here I am so, SURPRISE!

I know I haven't updated you with my boring and sad educational life, but i was so relieved when I though I was going to get rif of this, BUT WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD LIFE SUCKS! And it also hates me so I am here with new boring content that I will complain about. Enjoy :) Here's what we saw last week (and two days of this one):

What I learned last week (and 2 days of this one) in SMRT 140

• Homelessness (Paola's lifestyle)
• Nuclear Energy
• ANIMAL FARMMMMM
• THAT'S IT BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER K BY

Last week and this one, we kept working with different abilities to develop with the topic of homelessness. The information was quite repetitive, talking about how this social problem is happening in Canada, its main causes, and what thr country is doing in trying to solve it. 

Thy introduced us to a new type of writing exercise, where they make us agains our will,try and correct certain parts of the main text we kept reading, but without looking to the original one. Even though I am very lazy and I do not enjoy doing it, I recognize that it is a great way to improve our wirting skills and test our grammar knowledge that we've learned through the years.

Reading and listening is basically the same repetitive stuff theu make us do, that we still do not do correctly.

OOOOH SOMETHING REALLY COOL was the football cup the organized for homeless people around the world. Even though I am bad at any sport that you could think of, I believe that this is a great way of motivate and improve the lives of numerous homeless. 

THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE THAT POSITIVE AND SERIOUS FOR THAT MUCH TIME? HAAAAA think twice. Even though homelessness is a real problem that we need to solve and deal with and that affects a lot of people, SMRT needs to step it up with the topics. YOU LISTENED CANADA?! I propose: Life and carreer of Robin Sparkles.

We are now entering to a new topic, which is nuclear energy. I think there will be a lot of debate on this because I think it is very controversial the usage of this type of energy in developed countries, since a lot of accidents can occur. 

HOWEVER, THEY ARE MAKING ME DO AN ESSAY AND PRESENT ABOUT IT, which I am not happy about but I have to suck it up and do it as the school slave I am to keep up with my nerdy image.

The last thing that I am going to talk about is animal farm, which is a reading that only Aaron finished reading because we are all a bunch of lazy losers that never puts attention and we didn't realize it was for homework (just like we sordear with the blog) . We are doing better and doing what we are supposed to now (really late as always).

The word of the week is:

MUNICIPALITY

Sadly, we are going to keep seeing each other every week again, let's cry together. I LOVE YOUUUUUU THANKS FOR READING DRINK WATER THANK YOU BYEEEE!
