My favorite thing about the academy is that, we get to learn at our own paste and instead of setting, instead of a desk learning the same old things we do projects. The projects for me aren't the hardest part but the presenting, I can do a huge project and turn it in the worries or anything thing, but I can't get in front of people I know and do the persentation. The academy would be great for anyone.
I really don't think there is a bad part about the academy, unless you don't like the people in it which then it will be hard to work with them. The teachers are great they help us when we need it and if we need one to one help.
I'm excited for our next project and if I'm correct, we are rewriting the Romeo and Juliet play by Shakespeare. It's going to be a little difficult since I haven't read the play but, we are going to in class together; so it will be okay. One thing I do know about Romeo and Juliet is, how it fits in with all the subjects but one science. For example: government, how poeple lived back then and the art the created; english,we might not be speaking engish if it wasn't for William Shakespeare and all the plays he wrote. I will have to read the play and do some research to find out how it relates to science, I guess I will find out soon.

BOLG OF THE WEEK
This week in the academy, we had the director of Hartland water works come in and talk to us about how their water system works and we asked them questions that we can use for our project. On Thursday eight people went to a sewage plant, I wasn’t one of eight so I stayed behind. I was going to be in art but it didn’t work out so I ended up going to the other interview with the director of grounds at arrowhead. He told us what he does and a little about arrowheads water. Than on Friday we watched a video that helped the groups that where against water bottles, like us. That was this week in the academy.

Right now we are just doing research. We did really start working until Thursday. We finish the book, "Of Mice and Men," all of the section Quizzes had to be done by Thursday. On Friday we where going to go into two different groups but everyone got the quizzes in. So we all went to Mrs. M room and watch the movie of the book.

This week in the academy went be fast, I took a lot of quizzes. I’m at the end of chapter 2 in the book “Of Mice and Men.” I still have to take the quiz on chapter 1 though. I’ve also been writing a script for my group’s skit on John Dalton, we are almost done all we have to do at is practice and bring in the any items that might explain what he did more. I am now on step 4 or 5 of think globally. In art we are finishing our 3D crystals, everyone is just about done. Our whole unit is on crystals right now.

We had a short week this week so we didn't do much, but on Wednesday we had our meeting with no school board about the 1 to 1 project we were working on. My partner and I wrote a letter so I didn’t have to prescient for them. I showed them how an Iphone is connected to learning at school. That really all, we didn’t do anything else.

Blog of the week
This week in the academy, we finished working on the product testing and started a new project about what device we should use for the one to one program. I’m partners with Benji and we choose to compare the Ipad 2 to the Mac Book Air, we both believe that the Ipad 2 is better because it is just like a computer but is weights less and easier to carrier around arrowhead high school. We went to apple and took a tour of the store. All we have left to do now is to make the letter and send it to the school board. I hope he likes our letter.
