My 30 day challenge
For my the 30 day challenge I did not succeeded at any of my challenges because I was either to busy to do any of my challenges or just forgot about them. What I am going to do for my next 30 day challenge is to only pick 1 to 2 challenges, and tell my mom and brother to help stay on track for my challenges.

Result Of My Challenge
The result of my challenge about no watching anime for 6 days a week for 4 weeks succeeded! Well, I sort of slacked off on days that I could not read farther on a manga. Usually on the manga that I read, there is already an anime so if the English version of the manga is not in the library or online, I watch the animated version. But because of the challenge, I restrained myself from watching it. But the suspense gets to me sometimes and I watch the anime to figure out what happened. The only reason I succeeded on this challenge was thanks to my parents reminding me not to watch the anime or reading the manga version. I had another challenge at first about drinking 5 or 7 cups of water a day but it failed because I tend to forget over the weekend and sometimes I get to full from drinking a cup that I give up.
On my next challenge ( if I decide to do another one)I hope to better by sticking to my challenge and actually remember it!

What did we do..?
Today , we needed hand in our diary for the roles. For the people who didn't to the diary project, they needed to do it in class time. The teacher divided the people who did their homework randomly in to groups of five people. We worked on our drama script which is due tomorrow. We needed to think about what props are we going to bring, how are we going to wear when we are presenting and etc.
Why did we do that...?
-We wrote the diary to make ourselves clear about the roll that we are working on right now and learn about it more.
-Presenting drama to the class about the roll that we are working on makes you to feel comfortable and to understand what your "roll" actually does.
Connections...
If i get an assignment similar to this project, I would probably do the same step as what I did for this project.
1. Understand what your "roll" is.
2. Pick 4 sub topics. (clothing, duties and etc)
3. Research on internet, read books that is related to it and take notes.
4. Make a better copy of the note.
5. Write diary.
This will really help to understand why my roll is about.
Homework
- Prepare the script
Tips
- Listen to the teacher carefully

My Thirty Days Challenge Update
My new challenge is going great so far! I have not watched anime since last Friday which was my exception. This goal is achieved thanks to my parents sneaking in the room whenever I am on the computer and scaring me half to death and encouraging me not to watch anime. The only day I cheated was a Saturday when I thought something was a western cartoon not a anime. The only bad thing about this challenge is that I get anime deprived and start reading a lot of manga online. A few hours past without me noticing. I am going to work hard on this challenge!

*Sigh* I still have to make up for other people posting on my day. Ms.Lees was not here today the the librarian Mme.Monk was teaching us today.
What did we do?
Today was our last day to use the library for research on our roles in the middle ages.
Mme.Monk taught us at the beginning of the class the easy way of making our bibliography for books. Go to our school website: http://www.sd36.bc.ca/frshts/index2.htm and click on the library thing on the left side. Then select library catalogue and chose our school.Or you can just search up Fraser heights library on Google and click on our library which should be the first one. Click on catalogue. Search up what ever book you used and click add to this list. When you are done with all you books, click on resource list on the left. Click on my list. At the bottom of that page, you will find create and some selecting things. Find bibliography, sort by Author/Title, unclick show notes ant press go! There you have all the things on the criteria! For the rest of our block, we worked on our notes, bibliography, and our "A day in the life of..." journal for our character.
Why we did it:
The easier way really takes less time than finding all of the data we need to make our bibliography and then writing it down. Taking advantage of our time and doing our researching saves a lot more time for you to do other stuff then homework at home. If your computer does not work at home you can use the computer at the library to do your online research. Doing this project really increases our understanding the lives of the people in the middle ages.
Connections:
This easier way of doing a bibliography can really help when we are doing bibliography for other stuff like a science project, where you have to do a bibliography. Learning about life in the middle ages can help us when the subject comes up again the the future. I also helped us develop researching skills that are obviously needed in the future when we need to write a paper about something that we have no idea what it is. So we have to do research on it.
Homework:
-"There will be wolves" chapter 9 questions due on Thursday
-All researching should be done by Friday

My 30 day challenge goal was accomplished. My 30 day challenge was to play piano for an hour a day and drink 6 glasses of water a day. For my 30 day challenge I would like to thank my parents for encouraging me everyday to drink 6 glasses of water and play piano for an hour. Although my 30 day challenge has ended, I decide to continue with it because I find that it benefits me.
I feel impressed on my progress. As for my peers, I feel great to their progress to.

What we did today:
Today, we went to the library to get our roles for "Middle ages" project. It was chosen randomly. After you get your roles, we went in to the groups that is related to your role (such as religious , royal, and etc) We looked in to some historical book and researched with group members. When we were taking notes, we used the note taking skill that the teacher taught us such as Web, Cornell and etc.
Why we did this:
We are doing this "Middle ages" project because it helps you to understand more about middle ages and "There will be wolves" because you need to research and find information about your role. We went in to the groups when you were researching and finding information because the group members have the same theme so they can help you, if you have a question. We used our taking note skills which was very useful.
Connections:
-I really didn't get what nuns do and what kind of job it was but after I researched about it , I learned about it and got more other information not only what kind of job it was.
-We probably are going to use the note taking skill almost entire school years so we need to improve on that.
Homework:
- Chapter 9 there will be wolves questions
Tips:
- Research your roles at home to get more information.

Blog Post
What we did today:
Today Ms. Lees showed us some note taking skills that we could use in the future when we take notes. I learned a lot today, best not to have crutch words like so, but, it, um...etc and also not to have "I think" and also "In my opinion". Those show bad type of note taking and we don't want that. Ms. Lees showed us a couple of examples of notes today and all of the people who volunteered did a very good job on the notes. Ms. Lees showed them some points were they can develop their skills and what to add in the notes and what not to add in the notes. I learned a lot today about notetaking!!! In the last 20 minutes, we watched a lot of short and funny youtube videos about the crusades and the knights, nuns, kings...etc.... We were suppose to make a skit about one of the characters in the mid ages so those videos showed us a lot of examples of skits and comedy we can use to do our project. The youtube videos were also entertaining and my favourite video was THE KNIGHT SONG!!!!!
Why we did this:
Ms. Lees showed us the note taking skills because she wants us in the future to do a better job on these notes, also so we all, as a class, can improve and do better in note taking. After that we watched youtube videos!!!!! We did that because we can get ideas from the video for our project we are going to be working on in the future which is making a skit. The video helped me a lot.... now I have an idea for what my project is going to be on.
Connections:
The note taking helped me get more idea on how to do better notes. Ms. Lees helped me improve a little bit of my note taking. Note taking is a skill I can use in the future when I need to skit down ideas real quick, I can use note taking for that. The youtube videos showed us more about the mid ages characters and also it helped me a little on getting idea's for my project.
Homework:
- Chapter 9 there will be wolves questions
Tips:
- Respect your parents
