NHD Reflection

Street Racing, Documentary, John, Juliene, Jessica, Veasna

During this years NHD project I learned a lot. I learned how to work on iMovie, become more sociable, and work better in groups. In our project we showed the good, the bad, and the ugly of street racing. We showed the cops opinions, and then racers opinions. The best part of NHD was learning more about my topic then normal people should. That is a really good part about doing NHD.

Some successes for street racing and NHD are learning a lot about street racing. It has successes because you learn about things you want to learn and make projects about them.

Some challenges for NHD was the annotated bibliographies and the process paper. They were a really big challenge but we got through them.

Some changes for next year are the theme, and more time. That would really help us with getting our project done and make it more procise.

Cover from Langston Hughes

The Life of Langston Hughes












John

The Life of Langston Hughes

Langston Hughes was born on February 1st 1902. He was born in Joplin Missouri. Where he was growing up, he went through a lot with all of the racism. People did want to hire his father because he was black. His father wanted to be a lawyer, but wasn’t allowed too because the color of his skin. Langston Hughes’s father didn’t like the racism in the U.S so he packed his bags and moved to Mexico. When he was growing up he wrote poems to let his anger out.
Growing up Langston Hughes was a very upset person. He was upset because all of the racism he went through. He didn’t like the fact that he didn’t have as much power as the whites. He also knew that he couldn’t do anything so he just wrote poems about it. He succeeded in life when his poems started to get real good that people wanted them. When he first realized that he was that good that he started writing more.
Langston Hughes loved being black except for the fact that he didn’t have as much power but he wrote a poem about being black. It was called “My People.” The first poem he published in a book or magazine was called “Negro Speaks of Rivers.” It was published in Crisis magazine. When he was twenty-one years old he joined to S.S West Hesseltine.
There is a lot of things you should know about my author and that is he is one of the most famous African American authors. Another thing that you should know that he died at the age of sixty- five in New York City. We benefit from him today is that he has a lot of stories in schools today. That is how we will benefit from him today. I think that the most impressive thing about him was that he stayed strong through all his troubles.
My author inspired me by the fact that he went through a lot with his dad not getting the job he wanted because he was black, and how much he went through to get a good name as a poet. That is what inspired me. I would like to be him because of all he has done in life.
In conclusion, I think that Langston Hughes was a good person in all ways. He was nice to others and good at what he does. That is why I chose Langston Hughes and that is why he inspired me.

Why I Deserve an A in Mr. Romero's Class.

Why I deserve an A
By: John





Throughout the year I have been really well behaved in Mr. Romero’s class. I have been good and did all my work. I handed in all my work on time and completed. That right there deserves an A right there, but I will tell why I really deserve an A.

In Mr. Romero’s class, he expects a couple things of you. He expects you to do all your work. He doesn’t give a lot of work, so there should be no excuse for your work not to be done. I did all my work in his class. That is one thing why I deserve an A.

Another thing he expects from you is to give respect. To get respect you have to give respect and Mr. Romero respects me. In his class we do a lot of group work and that is fun for our class. That is why I deserve an A.

The other reason why I deserve an A is that I came to class on time everyday. I have been in class everyday on time. To be in class on time helps get an A so you don’t miss anything. That is a real important thing for getting an A in school.

In conclusion, I deserve an A for all of the reasons I stated below. In order to get an A in mr. Romero’s class you have to do all of them things and I did them. I did all my work, was on time for all my classes, and gave and got respect from Mr. Romero. That is why I should get an A in Mr. Romero’s class.

Should Parents Be able to Beat Their Kids

People hit their children all the time. They hit their kids whenever they want because it makes them feel good. They hit them when they are mad at something or someone else. Hitting kids can really hurt them mentally and physically. It can scare them for life. I think that parents should be able to hit their kids for two reasons.
The first reason why I think that parents should be able to beat there kids because beating your kids keep them in check. Keeping them in check is good because when then are going to do something bad, then can think of them getting beat. That tells them not to do it. Your kids do a lot of bad things so when you keep them in check tells them not to do it. That will keep them out of trouble.
The last reason why I think that parent should be able to beat their kids because it teaches them right from wrong. It teaches them right from wrong such as teaching them not to drink or smoke. Another thing it teaches them is parenting. They need to know that just in case of having a kid, it will teach them how to raise it. People say that they don’t want to beat their child so that when they have a kid they don’t beat their kids. They don’t want to be an abusive parent. Another thing to remember that when you are having a kid that there are limitations such as not in the face, not a closed fist, and not with cords or wires.
I think that parents should be able to beat there kids because it teaches there kids lessons and it keeps them in check. If you do it for them reasons then your kid should be good. And remember, if you do beat your kids then don't go past the limitations. I think that they should be able to beat their kids. Do you think they should be able to?
