"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious" - Albert Einstein
The book I am reading is The 57 Bus by Dashka Slater. It revolves around an accident on the 57 bus and why it would happen and how it was solved. The plot is in Oakland, California. This book tells us the third choice outside of the usual binaries: male or female, good and bad. One of our main characters is Sasha and they are agender. They tell us about Sasha’s journey and what they had to do to come out as a third gender. Then our second main character Richard is very funny and jokes around a lot. He does not like people who don’t identify as male or female and wanted to joke around and accidentally lights up Sasha’s dress. Trials were then held and Richard felt sincerely sorry for his actions. Richard is not an evil antagonist but simply someone who made a bad choice. This story also through Richard’s POV points out the issue of colored people not getting enough education and skipping school. The slight discrimination is also hinted in the story.
This found poem page was an expert from the book lamb to slaughter by Roald Dahl. This is from page 7 of the book. I believe this story contains both internal and external conflict. For external I think it is the conflict Mary has with her husband realizing that her husband is going to leave her. This lead to the death of her husband This would be a character vs character conflict. Evidence I would say is that Mary rejecting to believe that her loved husband is going to leave her which leads to her killing her husband with the frozen lamb leg. For internal I think it is the inner thoughts Mary has after killing her husband, she wonders if her unborn child is going to be affected, this lead to her final decision of covering up her crime. I drew this image and believe it is an representation of the mood and ambience in this story from dark red to light red it feels like the mood change of mary and the lines represent the complexity of the story and how the story is led up to the point that I wasn’t expecting at the start.
Mine is spilled so I haven’t tried it yet next time I can add more oil and less essential oil.

2-gram beeswax
0.5-gram aloe vera
1-gram coconut oil

First, melt the beeswax
Next, stir in the aloe vera, coconut oil and shea butter
Then add the essential oil
Last stir it all together and pour it in the container
I think the biggest success in our game was making the claw work because it is pretty hard to glue and think of ideas and try again and again to glue the strings to the claws to make it work. and drilling some holes and stick the pole in there, so basically everything in the claws has to be just right to make sure it works.
The skills I learned was cutting the cardboard with knifes, not that I haven’t cut stuff with that before, it is just that it is really hard to cut straight and curve lines, so most of the lines that came out was this wavy or wiggly lines that isn’t straight buy isn’t really curved. So over the practice, most of the lines I cut became straight or curvy, not in the middle.
One thing I would like to change it to change the size of the machine, it is too tall but could be a bit wider and the hole could to bigger and the walls to surrounding the hole should be taller because it is still easy to knock the toy in there.
The main concerned I had was that I did not know how the claw worked so I haven’t really thought about how the position of the strings glued to the claw really matters of how it works so I tried dozen of ways to glue .
The Hardest thing to do is trying to make the best of it using the limited materials and time. I learned that a insulator isn’t easy to make because the most materials we used made little difference
The problem was tryin to keep teacher’s coffee for a longer time. First through the define and inquire stage we decided what our prototype would look like what what materials would we use. Next throughout the develop and plan stage we hot glued every thing together and made it reusable and removable. Last we changed and added sth to our insulator to make the heat last longer.
Hot glue melt with hot water vaper easily. The evidence of this is every time when we take off the cap of the mug the hot glue melting everywhere on the mug making it poisonous to drink from. And I saw other group like this too their hot glue sticked to everything after 10 min. The reason is that the hot glue can not take like heat above 80 degrees and it melts 
I am proud of what we did for the overall design, ever though we “failed” it was a fun experience and we learned sth. Next time we wouldn’t stick things with hot glue anymore because it melts easily. The hardest part is we didn’t have enough choice of materials and time so……
When you blog you create posts and posts are categorised according to your subject. Some categories have already been set up for you. If you need more categories you can add them as needed. It’s important that your posts have the following:
- An engaging title – this should not include the name of the subject since this is referenced in the category.
- Body – this is where you share your learning. This can include text, images, embedded videos from Dragons’ Tube or elsewhere. You should always consider how your post looks to your audience. Is it engaging? Do they want to keep reading?
- Category – select one that has been set for you or add a new category. Posts can have more than one category e.g. Humanities and Myself as a Learner
