This is about A Midnight Summer’s Dream by William Shakespeare. I choosed the character Helena because she has a “bad” play but also has some interesting plans. I picked this image because it is not overly beautiful but also beautiful at the same time. I’m proud of the picture that i found .
Overall, I would say that i am a 85% Humanist. I would say this because I like to discover artifacts and humanities. But however, I do not study a lot in science and culture.
The little girl said to him: “Red Squirrel, you don’t have to work, do you? You may just play and eat nuts from morning till night. Isn’t that all?” “’Not work!’ chattered the Red Squirrel. ‘Why, I am working now, and I worked all day yesterday, and all of the day before. I have a family living in the old oak tree, and I must store away nuts for the winter. I have no time to stop and play.”’ The little girl’s mother wants the little girl to work, but the little girl doesn’t want to work instead she wants to find someone to play with her. But they all refuse the little girl and states that they have work to do. If you avoid working or tries to be lazy, then you will not be able to reach anything.
In the book “The Little Girl Who Would Not Work” by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey, an elementary school principal. The author believes that if you avoid work or try to be lazy, you will not reach anything. At the start of the story, the little girl’s mom wanted her to work but the little girl only wanted to play: “Oh, mother, I do not like to work. Please let me go to the woods and play just a little while before I do my tasks” (Bailey 3). This shows that the little girl does not want to work and tries to avoid working by playing in the woods. One connection to myself is when my mom wants me to help her do some work like doing dishes, I always would find an excuse to not do the work. As the story continues, the little girl asks the ant to play with her, but the ant said, “’ Oh, no, I couldn’t stop to play. Once someone stepped upon our house and crushed it.” […] “We Ants thought we would go and hunt for a ready-made house, but we travelled a very long way, and we were not able to find a house ready-made, and we were obliged to come home and build” (Bailey 11). This shows that even if you were working, but if you are being lazy your entire progress might be destroyed, and other people’s work might also be destroyed because of your laziness. I have a connection to myself, when I was working in a group, I was being lazy and didn’t want to work and because of my laziness, it caused my entire group to have a bad grade. Overall, if you try to avoid work or try to be lazy, you will not be able to reach anything.
The found poem was found in “Thank You, M’am” by author Langston Hughes. It shows an external conflict between a women antagonis t Mrs. Jones and a boy named Roger. In the rising act of the story the boy runs behind Mrs. Jones and attempts to snatch her purse but he ended up failing. Roger comes across as a poor boy that wants to buy a pair of shoes, but he does not have enough money so he has to go steal people’s purse. However, while robbing, Mrs. Jones was able to catch him. Hopefully this conflict will not last long and the boy will be able to get his shoes and Mrs. Jones will be able to get her purse back.

Below is coding of screen 1
When the start button is clicked it will start randomising the choices. There is 10 items in total and there is 4 Choice_1 so that means it is 40% chance of getting that. And the below one is to go to screen 2 when clicked and start value is basicly sending the code to screen 2
<<–– On the left is coding of screen 2
The first code is meaning that the global “random” is set to whatever the text says.
Second code is to tell the global random to get the value that was sent in screen1(the randomised text)
And then the last one is getting the global “randomised” that just got the start value, so then it will show the randomised text
And then the Go_Back_Button is to go back to screen1.
Phones should be Banned in school
By:Bryan T 7-5
Phones should be banned in school because it is a distraction to students. In addition, it allows chaeting which will affect grades and an unfair advantage. some say that phones should not be banned because students need to communicate, but there is more disadvantage than advantage.
One reason why phones should be banned in school is because it is a distraction. Forexample, an advanced chemistry teacher at Decatur said that she allowes students to use phones as a calculator, but they are more of a distraction because students might not be using their calculator app but games or social apps. Another example is that students can text during class instead of listening to the teacher. An experiment has ran with 118 Rutgers, phones did not lower their comprehension exam, but their end-of-term exam was lowered by atleast 5% percent or even have a grade. This shows that, phones will lower the grades and school’s job is to educate students to get a good grade, students’ grade will keep on lowering if school doesn’t ban phone. So, Phones should be banned in school
Another reason why phones should be banned in school is because it allows cheating. Forexample, students can search up the answer on their phone for the exam. In addition, students can send answers to other students and also students can send the test questions to other students and also send the test questions to student who didn’t ake the test which then the student will know what to study or what to remember. A survey by Pew Research Center has found that 35% percent of students have admit that they cheated in tests with their phone and the other 65% percent of students that took the same survey has said that they saw students cheating with their phone during tests. Tehrefore, students will have an unfair advantage. So, phones should be banned in school
Some say that phones should not be banned in school because students need a phone to communicate with their parents and incase of an emergency. In addition, Peter Brosnan auther of “Smart Phones, Smart Kids” said that “many parents and students rely on cellphones to keep in touch in case plans change after school.” However, schools will provide phones and some schools will even provide emails so as recieving messages, “if our game is cancelled due to weather or anything else changes in our schedule, our administrator sends a notice to all parents immediatly.” This shows that students does not need their own phone, but instead they can just find any staff to contact their parents . Therefore, phones should still be banned in school.
Overall, phones should be banned in school because it is a distraction and it allows cheating. Also, there is more of an unfair advantage and disadvantage than advatage. Also,

What was the most difficult aspect of this project?
The most difficult aspect of this project was the pig tail because I tried different ways to let the servo move the pig tail, but it always fail, until I stick the servo on the back of the body, and it worked so smoothly.
What was the most enjoyable aspect of the project?
The most enjoyable aspect of the project was coding in hummingbird because we can just sit there and start coding with friends and chatting while coding, and during coding we can test out our robot, so it was fun.
What did you do well?
The designing and the pig tail were the best because it was funny looking when it was wiggling, and I tried a lot of times to make it work so I am very happy that it worked.
What would you do differently next time?
I would add more features like more sensors for example using distance sensor and the light sensor, I also would add more movement and sounds like the pig sound and making the pig moving or just the pig foot move and the head.
What did you learn physically?
I learned physically that it looks easy to glue the servo on the specific spot because it sometimes slips down or when it is moving, it just falls. Also, the cutting area was kind of hard because it is very hard to cut straight and exact dimension for the body, head and tail.
What did you learn about programming the robot?
I learned in programming was that it sounds easy to program but it is actually hard because you don’t know how the codes work. But after the class I understand how most of the codes work and how if it is servo you need to use a servo command.
What more would you like to learn about the building and/or you like to learn about these robots?
I would like to learn how to how to let the robot jump and use other coding programs like Arduino because it can challenge myself to do better and have a better knowledge of programming.
Percy Jackson can manage his emotion and positive relationship by his choices, and it can affect his life. Firstly, in the start of the book Percy is saying words that he regrets, and it could affect his emotion and Grover try to calm him down when Percy is getting mad which shows a caring friend.
Percy’s emotion can be managed by his choices. In the book page 39 “’Because you don’t want me around?’ I regretted the words as soon as they were out.” Research shows that “think about how you will feel as a result of each possible action” (Self-management/managing emotions, Skills you need-Helping You Develop Life Skills, 2019). This shows that Percy does not consider what result will happened and might affect on others. Another quote in page 17 “I snapped. I called him an old sot. I wasn’t even sure what it meant but it sounded good” This shows that “the best decisions are made using both logic and emotion.” (Self-management/managing emotions, Skills you need-Helping You Develop Life Skills, 2019). Therefore, Percy’s emotion can be managed by his choices.
Percy’s positive relationship can affect his life. In the book page 3 “Grover tried to calm me down.” this shows that “the support offered by a caring friend can provide buffer against the effects of stress.” (University of Minnesota) this tells that having a caring friend can help us in many ways like stress and others. Another quote in the book page 29 “Her name is Sally Jackson, and she’s the best person in the world.” research shows that “A stressful task experienced a faster recovery when they were reminded of people with whom they had strong relationship. (Those who were reminded of stressful relationships, on the other hand, experienced even more stress and higher blood pressure.)” (University of Minnesota) this shows that they can recover faster and better when their relationship is strong. To conclude, Percy’s positive relationship can affect his life
Finally, Percy’s emotion and positive relationship can affect his life but also be managed himself. This shows that, having a caring friend with strong relationship can reduce stress and Percy can manage his emotions on what his choices are.
Percy Jackson is a troublemaker, stands up for his friend, also very brave. This is because in the book “I had this accident with a Revolutionary War cannon” in page 2 because he’s had a lot of accidents in this case, he shot the school bus. And also “I sort of hit the wrong lever on the catwalk and our class took an unplanned swim.” This means he always get into trouble and very curious. In page 3 Nancy was throwing peanut butter on Grover, his best friend he said, “I’m going to kill her” and later he stands up, but Grover told him to stop because he was in probation. This shows that he is being helpful to his friend and also is trusting. Later in the story in page 13, Mrs. Dodds turned into a monster and tried to kill Percy, but, “the metal blade hit her shoulder and passed clean through her body as if she were made of water”, which means he’s brave and a fighter. In the book Percy wasn’t concentrating in the museum and he didn’t listen to the teacher, but he understood the carving and he recognized it, “I looked at the carving, and felt a flush of relief, because I actually recognized it.” This shows that Percy is very special. So, Percy Jackson is a troublemaker, curious, helpful to his friends and brave.
