A read an article about Tresha Souza who started a program where she would give free meals to homless people or people who are just hungry or have had some tough times. She had a lot of points to start this program, but one of the bigger ones is to teacher her kids how important compassion is. The President of the Town Council was not aware of her program, but when he found out...

I thought it was very interesting to make a documentary because I felt like I had put a lot of work into it, and it made me feel like I kind of specialed in my topic. It was the first time I made a documentary and it was a really good experience. It was fun making the audio and finding the pictures and just everything about it was pretty interesting
One thing that was frustrating was working with...

Some Of The Kinder Planets
Some Of The Kinder Planets by Tim Wynne-Jones is a book with four short stories including Night of the Pomegranite, Tashkent, Strangers on the Shore, and Tweedldum and Tweedldead. These stories are based in Canada and are very unpredictable, but quite humourous at times. These are not the kind of books I usually read, but I have found that they are okay. These books remind me of Ned’s Head...
CSL Weekly Call To Action
I read an article in the newspaper about Scripps Ranch High where a lot of the inner city kids were having very bad grades. So they created this program where the faculty would meet wiht 40 kids after school and work with them very hard. Before the kids never did homework in class they would just look at the clock and would wait for the bell to ring, but after they were taught after school half...

Afterwards, they go to Down Town San Diego and give people in need the bowls of soup. This program was...
ALHOTW Review
I thought that ALHOTW was a great book that anyone could learn a lot from. The book teaches you about a lot of ancient civilizations and their cultures. You will also learn about small tribes, and wars that went on and the dates of when all this happened.When I read this book I was inspired to research more about the civilizations mentioned, I’ve played a game called Civilization 3, and that...

Immediately after that,...

In Tanzania a family was living on just 50 cents a day when they received their chicks they had food to eat, had money from se.ling the eggs which raised their income to two dollars a day this allowed them to pay for school fees. 2....
CSL 5 (Three Ideas)
1. We could make bracelets and sell them at school and donate the money to buy chicks from The Heiffer Society. It could be like the live strong bracelets, and when you wear them, it could be a symbol that you helped prevent poverty. The chicks provide food and money, and helps kids go to school. 2. We could have a bake sale where we sold semi-healthy treats like Rob’s Monkey Bread, Banana Bread,...
Where The Wild Things Are
I think this movie will not be successful because the movie seems not as kid friendly as the book, and I think kids will be scared and would have enjoyed the pictures in the book more. So overall I don’t think that the movie will be successful. I was a fan of the book and still am, but Ido not plan on seeing the movie.

TSB Assignment 2
Can someone who has committed murder ever be fully trusted again? Explain why or why not.
I don’t think someone who has commited murder can ever be trusted again. This is because murder is such a terrible crime that anyone who would do that would have poor character. Someone with poor character is probably not very trustworthy, therefore it would be hard to fully trust them. Also, a lot of...
List of Gods
Here is my list of gods for our film
1. Zeus - I like Zeus because I think Zeus is a leader and I like being a leader. Also, Zeus was the father of Hercules and Perseus, who are two heroes, and I want to be a father when I grow up. Also, it would be great to have my kid/kids be heroes too.
2. Apollo - I like Apollo because he is the god of music and healing, and I like music a lot. Also I think...

TSB Homework
I think that the Circle of justice is a good thing because it gives people that have done crimes a second chance. It’s a better alternative to our sytem of justice today because it gives criminals a chance to calm down by themselves, and go on an island and think about what they have done. A bad thing about it is if the criminal doesn’t become a better person at all and just keeps...
Alexander The Great
Alexander’s “aim was to combine the wisdom and splendour of the East with the clear thinking and vitality of the Greeks, and so create something entirely new and wonderful.” Why was this such a different approach than those of previous empires? What might have led him to develop the idea? How successful was he in meeting this goal?
Alexander wanted to create a new world and to conquer. Previous...

I walk out my door And leave my wife To go to war The day I leave My son begins his life
I sail to Troy Hoping to get back to my boy But not knowing what to expect

Then me and my men begin to fight We fought through darkness We fought through light We...
Ancient Greece
Here are three things that we inherited from the Greeks:
1. Architecture - The Greeks used columns in their architecture to support the roofs of their buildings, but the columns were also beautiful and decorative. Nowadays we Americans use columns in our buildings. For example, The White House and buildings in Balboa Park have them too.
2. Democracy - The Greeks brought us democracy which means...
Life Skills Call To Action 17
When I see drivers cut other people off, the people who got cut off tend to get angry and throw their hands up in disbelief. I think this happens because if there had been an accident, the driver who wasn’t at fault would be angry. Even without an accident they want to let the person know that cutting people off is wrong. If people cut in front of other people in line, those affected tend to...

Friends Poem
Friends
By Timmy Chesney
Friends are great.
They always have your back.
If your in a bad situation they always cut you some slack.
Whenever you need them they’re never late.
If somethings wrong they will always show their support.
Now all your enemies can do is just snort.
If your sad they will always cheer you up.
Now all you have to do if your a real friend is fill back up the...
