I sometimes do enjoy reading and writing, but not for things I don't find interesting. What I enjoy most from English class is the creative writings and the research projects, and my least favorite things were the book reports and writings and SSR. I enjoyed being able to express my opinions about topics and using different tools like Weebly and Google Docs. Things I dislike about writing is having to use certain formats like MLA and having to use specific sources for research papers. The only barriers I usually face when comes to writing assignments are that I sometimes don't read the book for the paper and can't write the paper properly.

A Good Person Who Poem- By Ian Clark

Who is a long book Who is flying in the sky Whose hair is on fire Who tells me they're reading Who tells the world Whose a pencil Who used to be a school Is a basketball court Doesn't live there anymore Is a computer Who is buying more stamps Is an arrow Asking who Who asks where's the mail

This weekend we started working on our senior projects and getting into groups. At the beginning of the week, I was in a group with Tyler, John, and Neal. Since then, I have started talking with Zack, who's from a different hour and possibly just work with him. For a topic, we have discussed researching ghosts, marijuana, and possibly volunteering. We have planned on meeting this weekend and talking about different topics, and hopefully decide on a topic to work on.

Since the 25th, we've found a topic for our project and started the writing parts and proposal stuff. For most of the past week, we worked on brainstorming and finding possible topics, and had much difficulty. We decided to do our senior project on drunk and hazardous driving, and we came up with the idea of using a driving simulator to show younger teens what it's like. We plan to meet this weekend to do some research and finish writing our proposal.

As of now, we have talked to a school police officer about getting a driving simulator to use for our project. We are still waiting for him to get back to us though, and will probably be following up with him soon. We also started doing some research about the statistics of teen accidents and distracted driving deaths. We are planning on using this information to add to our presentation and show the real world effects of hazardous driving.

After talking to Officer Williams about using the simulator, we decided not to use it and go on without it. Instead, we looked at other ideas to bring our project to the real world. we thought about making surveys, making signs for the parking lot, but we're still looking at other options. We've recently been assigned us with making our own rubric and so we started working on that on Rubistar.com. Our presentation is starting to come together also, and we have started working on memorizing lines and preparing how our presentation will look.

We have settled on making the parking lot signs that say no texting and no we just have to propose it to student senate so we can get the funding. This menas we will have to make a proposal display to show them what we are doing and why which we started working on this week. We have collected all are sources and are almost done with our annotated bibliography. Lately, we've been having trouble meeting together and working around our schedule because both of us are in different hours and have pretty busy schedules outside of school. We have been meeting sometimes during fourth hour when he Zach isn't busy with his class. We've also had some difficulty with using Prezi because neither of us have used it before.
 * Journal Entry February 18th**

We presented our proposal to the school senate and they passed it. So now we just need to send Mrs. Wisch the information to order the signs, and we'll be good. We also finished our preview presentation this week and are ready to present. We have finished everything we need for this senior project that we can and are just waiting on getting the sign materials and building those.
