Fish Bowl

Today in my humanities class we did a fish bowl about the questions my class mates had about The Giver chapter 3-4-5. Many people did not particapate in the first hadfull of questions which was about the stirring. I guess not many went in the fish bowl on those questions because they might not have understood it fully or the question was to hard for them, so they just sat out the whole time. But then on the second question which was talking about realeasing. Now on that question everyone came in to answer but on that question things got a little outta control, people started getting off task, and there was a lot of side conversations going on, people started racing for chairs, and seats. But the people in the circle still had their conversations. I also find that the realesing questions were much easier then the stirrings. It was a little like the last fish bowl, always the same people went in, so then eventually the conversation would stop and there would be no more ideas to say because the same people kept coming in. But still I think most people had fun in the fish bowl, including me. :)

One child policy or not

The one child policy is a rule that you can only have one child. What I think is that people should be able to have as much children as they want, it rude and against human rights to tell people to have as much children as they want, but then of course the family has to know when to hit the breaks, because life would be pretty hard if you had billions of children, if peolpe are ready to take the resonibility then there is no problem but if you cant then I dont really think you would be able to love, care, give them a good education for them if they were to be succesfull. I think people should have as many kids as they want as long as they can take the responsibility.

Policy deciding the fate of China

Today in humanities we discussed the poilicy of china. It seemed that after the baby boom generation there was a explosion in the population, the population grew so high that china ran low on resourses, china was at ease. Then after a couple of years the policy made a rule that a couple couldnt have more then one child. If a couple broke the law it would come to serious consequenses, and also sons were favored more then daughters, if a daughter was given birth, the parents had the choice to get another kid and hope it was a boy. I think that it is really unfair what they did with the girls. But today in china there are over 30 million men known as "bare branch". But also it was kina good what the policy did to get the population down but the daughter thing was really not fair.

Shakespear Sonnet 7

In humanities today we read and brainstormed a poem of Shakesspear called the 7th Sonnet hen I first saw the poem I was so confused I had no idea what it was about I was lost. But the later on I got a slight idea of the poem, I managed to find out that it was partly about the sun. It was about the sun because it explains how it rises and how it gives gracious light, a man then serves the sacred majesty the sacred majesty could be the sun, I had help by finding what the poem is a about because before we were in groups to brainstormed what the poem and we came up with the idea that it could be about the sun then it became very clear to me.

The laws of life

The laws we have in our world are very impotrant because they keep us safe and keep life easier.Example when driving cars we use traffic ligts and shields to keep us from bumping into each other and causing accidents to happen keeping us safe from getting hurt. Also we keep little kids and peopkke under 18 out of bars, so they dont go crazy and drunk. Today in my class I talked alot about laws because we were relating it to the king of Babylon who was called Hammurbi. We related the laws today with him because he, when he was king he wrote 282 laws for is country, and they were very strict. For example if a son strikes his father the son would get his hand chopped off. Ther were of course more than this, and they were harsh to. But today the laws are'nt so strict anymore but still we should not break them because there's still a punishment in this world today.

Answer to Mr.Mcqueen questions

This title is of the video I watched a coulpe of days ago. I chose thhis title because when watching the video I think or it was about how the world of farming and how the world changed, and I thought that the world was important and useful by using the enviroment around us. What I think what gave the humans a big boost in farming was the invention of the plough, this makes life easier because the plough would allow them to turn of the soil and cut furruws into the soil, instead of using their hands to do all of it. What man has is that they have all slowly passed on the generation of farming and in all getting more slowly more advanced.

C-E-C

This title stands for Connect-Extend-Challenge. This is what I did in class after I watched the video, I did not finish challenge because I ran out of time, As I explained the video on my last blog, I do not need to explain it again. I wrote for connect that I already knew that farming was very important because to some people in the world. This connects to the video because the video talks about how farming is passed on from generation to generation and and farming gets better and better, that was my idea of the connecting part.For the extending part I wrote on how I thought about how farming was useful and that people that lived 13000 years ago werensmart enuogh to get the idea of farming. I think its amazig when I think about farming was oassed on slowly getting more advanced, like from using hands only to the invetion of the ploe and then the tractor and getting more advanced because even we will pass on the generation of farming. This what I wrote for my C-E-C.
