Reading Times 2/10

Monday, February 3, 2014- 5 minutes after my Quiz. I read Thirteen Reasons Why

Wednesday-10 minutes of reading at the beginning of class. I also worked about 30 minutes on finalizing my draft. 

Thursday- I read my 10 minutes of Thirteen Reasons Why. 

Friday-I read my 10 minutes again at the beginning of class. I worked on my paper again for another 30 minutes 

Research Paper Draft

In this draft I feel confident in my information. I think that I found a lot of valuable information from the websites that I found. The information was very helpful to me supporting my thesis. To find the information I used my research question which was helpful also. I am a little unsure about my wording and my sentence structure. Even though I worked on it for an hour I feel like it could have been better but I just need a little help with that before I turn my final draft in.

What was easy for me was finding all of the information I needed for supporting my thesis. I found it easy because it of my research question was good so I got good information. Something that was hard was just mechanical errors and trying to fix them. I would just like help with my sentence structure as I mention earlier. I should focus my reading of the feedback on the transitions and how I word things in my paper.

Snow Week

During the snow week, I mostly slept. I didn't do much because it was very cold outside. I really do dislike the cold weather. So while I was at home I did my emergency closing assignments, slept, and watched netflix. I woke up on morning and I was really excited because it was snowing. I went outside and it was a let down because the only thing that had snow was on my roof so I couldn't build a mini snowman. I was pretty sad about that so I just went back and finished my assignments

the modern pharaoh

Hey! My topic is on the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. The basis of my information is from my research question which is "What are the rights, roles, and responsibilities of the Pharaoh of Egypt. This question was really helped me find the information I need. This topic has always really interested me.  Ancient Egypt and the Pharaohs that rule it have always been my favorite topic in social studies since I was little. I have found a lot of good and valuable information. Something that I found very interesting while I was searching was that since the people of ancient Egypt viewed the Pharaoh as the "Father of the Land" he had to do the things that fathers would do for their children.

The topic that I choice to research for the National History Day project is the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. To help me find information for this topic my research question was "What are the rights, roles, and responsibilities of the Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt?". The Pharaohs were very important to the people of the ancient world. That is one reason I decided to write about them.

Paul's Prompt

Paul's prompt- What is the best part of your day, week, month, and life?

The best part of this month January 2014 is that I got a new phone for Christmas. I ordered in December and it finally came in last week. I got an iPhone 5s. I was really glad because I broke my last phone it was really bad. I could not even use it. I was really upset by it being broken because I didn't have a phone for a couple months I  was really bored. 

The other great thing this month was that it is a new year. I am glad its a new year because I can do things better such as  eating healthier. I hope that this will be a great year for me and the people around me. I hope everything will go great

My topic

My topic for the National History Day Project is the rights and responsibilities of the Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt. I am also including the role the pharaoh in Egypt. I chose this topic because the Ancient Egypt and the Pharaohs have had a very important effect on the modern world. I thought it would be a good idea to do my project on how their rights and responsibilities of a pharaoh have effect the modern day people and the ancient world people.

There are a lot of important things that I have to do for the research of my topic. First I need to find some of the rights and responsibilities of the pharaoh. I really need to find out about how his role effected the people of Egypt, and possible changes in the world because of what they did. I really think that the pharaohs are and were very important to the world.
