in class we have been learning about how students measure success differently. i have got to say that many students have different ideas and meanings for success. for example i did my project by the way i personally measure success. i personally measure success by achieving and reaching the goals you have been wanting to reach for a long time.
in this presentation we have to present information, findings, and supporting evidence such as listeners can follow the line of reasoning and the organization, development and style are appropriate to task and purpose. so basically we could choose from a board, power point, or a video. the theme of this presentation has to be about how you personally measure success or how do you personally plan to be successful.
in class we have been doing around the world articles. around the world articles is when we get in groups and read an article and discuss what the article is about. then we tell what kind of text structure its in. there's description, problem/solution, time/order chronological, comparison/contrast, and cause and effect to choose from. then we make up a thesis for the article.
success can be a rather abstract term and it can mean very different things to different people. trying to explain what success is not easy. to most people, success means achieving a goal. in order to achieve a goal, a person usually has to work hard and believe in themselves. an example of success is a very famous athlete. most people find him successful. he is so rich that you cant even imagine, he has set world records. only about 50 people attended his funeral. he is not a successful human being. now there's a man who was not successful in the eyes of the world. he isn't wealthy, not high-profile, but yet people were inspired by this man. about 200 people attended his funeral. now he is quite a successful human being.
today in class we have seen only half of the movie the outsiders. Mrs.Cantu has given us a paper which we have to write in about thew movie. then after were done finishing the movie we write in the differences. so so far in the movie, I've noticed that they left out the part were pony tells cherry about the time johnny gets jumped. the part of the movie that she has stopped it was at the point right after ponyboy and johnny cut their hair with a blade and pony bleaches his hair. pony says that he doesn't like that feeling because it feels like being in a Halloween costume that you cant get out of.
on the outsiders essay we have to include tags and explain which character from the book is a gangster and why. the character that i have chosen to do this essay from the book is johnny. johnny is a shy, quite type but could be very dangerous when you get him mad. on the book johnny kills bob because he was scared of him beating him up again. he recognized bob because he had the rings on his fingers. we are about to finish "the outsiders" in class. the book the outsiders is about a group of boys that treat each other like family. they are known as gangsters, but they like to be called greasers.
