In my notebook, I tracked the major events in Staggerlee’s life with a timeline. Each point of the timeline includes how Staggerlee felt during that event, and a brief summary of the chapter. My notes of what I learned helped me better identify code changing and charachter development.

Tuesday of the other June found poem
In the short story “Tuesday of the other June” by Norma Fox Mazer is where the main protagonist June is having an external conflict with a main antagonist also called June. The “other June” (the antagonist June) would bully the protagonist June every Tuesday in swimming class by pinching her, and calling her names like fish eyes, buffalo brain, and turkey nose. In the found poem, I highlighted how the other June bullied the protagonist June and how the protagonist June didn’t want Tuesday to come because it would mean going to swimming class with the other June. The artwork around the words that are left out fills in the otherwise blank spots of the page and helps with both indicating where the words are more clearly, and making the page look more interesting and presentable.
How Percy Jackson’s Personal Relationships Affect his Life at Yancy Academy
During the book “Percy Jackson and the Olympians book 1, the lightning thief” chapters 1-3. I realized that Percy doesn’t actually have any friends that can actually help him. (he actually only has one friend called Grover.) Grover usually tries his best to calm him down, but it’s usually no use because Percy also has a hard time controlling his emotions (I used to try to calm my sister down after making her mad, but that just makes her scream at me even more), especially when there’s no friends helping him, so it’s affecting his attitude towards school thus making him really miserable because he’s constantly Kicked out of multiple schools and gets into a lot of trouble. So in this blog post, I will give him some advice on how he might be able to solve his personal relationship problems. (which I think are the most important.)
His personal relationship problem is making him stand-alone all the time, (like when I had no friends at kindergarten.) like when everyone was saying that there wasn’t a Miss Dodds the day after he was attacked, Mr. Brunner (his favorite teacher.) expects him to be better than everyone else when he’s never made above a c- for on his report card, and strange things happening but he seems to be the only one that feels it or sometimes the opposite. The only sweet place for him is his home with his mom, but his dad was gone before he was born so all he’s really left with is his stepfather “smelly Gabe” which is one of the people he hates most.
Possible solutions
First of all, the most important part of solving his personal relationship problem, is of course getting more friends because he only has one so far. To do that, he could try to be interested in the things the other person likes. like, if you’re trying to befriend Bob, “you could ask more questions/pretend to be interested in the topic” that bob is interested in, apart from talking about the things that you’re interested in. (unless Bob likes it too.) Once you’ve done that, the way to make that relationship even stronger, is to remember the above; “spending time with your friend while they’re going through a hard time, to them, means more than gifts of any kind”, spending time with them in the holidays is also a great way to strengthen their relationships, even “checking in with them to see how they’re doing every once in a while could mean something”.
If Percy manages to do all of the above/get some more friends with the advice that I gave him. He would be happier, which could potentially lead to a better attitude towards school and an easier time managing his emotions.

our stories make history
Final reflection: I feel like this project went pretty well even when we’re not at school, but also we wouldn’t have this unit if we were at school because that would only mean that the COVID – 19 wasn’t there. I organized my project in the order that I created them to hopefully match the timeline.
This project would be useful to future historians because this will provide them with information of what students were doing during the coronavirus outbreak.
The thing that went pretty well was my emotional timeline being the first one and the one that took the longest to make but I think it turned out pretty well and the dates were pretty precise.

How has technology influenced humans throughout history?
This is my Thinglink about my research question which is the title of this post, and there are links that you can click on to get to a new Thinglink that explains that specific thing.
Reflection:
Something that went well was that I’ve learnt a lot of things about technology during this project. But I also had some trouble uploading my video because it was uploading very slowly. So next time I do it, I will double check on what I did wrong and fix that problem as soon as possible.

I am from poetry
I am from family, the love stronger than anything. when we stand together, nothing can stop us.
I am from the museum, with my curiosity, I just cant stop looking around.
I am from school, even if I need to learn, I can always pick some fun out of it!
I am from hopes/dreams, always have something big planned out. if you believe and reach out for it, It will eventually come true.
I am from playstation and video games, using up my spare time in the click of a second, leaving me begging for more time.
I am from the twist and turns of skiing, the screams from roalercosters, and the speedy cold wind while ice scating.
