Marina's Summer Reading Recommendation
This phenomenal book is written by the incredible Earl Sewell. It's the story of a young teenaged girl whose life is seriously about to have major changes. This book is filled with drama, passion, and a great message. If I were you I would definitely grab this book and read this book over the summer!
Here is a brief summary:
Maya's summer is shaping up to be unforgettable—in both good and bad ways. First she's sent to stay with her grandmother for a month. Living in the city, Maya is too far from her friend Keysha and her boyfriend, Misalo—and too near her rebellious cousin Viviana. When Maya finally comes home, her parents drop a bombshell—Viviana is moving in with them.Her cousin has barely unpacked before she's creating chaos. Truth is, Maya kind of likes the way life is a whole lot less predictable with Viviana around. But her motives are up for debate—especially when it comes to Misalo. And as Maya's little sister, Anna, grows more fascinated with her cool older cousin, Maya begins to see that following where Viviana leads has its price. And it could cost Maya her reputation, her relationship and maybe even her future .

Conjoined Twins :D
I just wanted to do this video because this has always interested me for a long time. I always wanted to know how these kinds of twins where conjoined together. I also thought they where just like that just because . When I seen pictures of this I really didn't believe that this was even real. I noticed that it was real when I first saw it on the news. After, hearing about it and getting an opportunity to do a project on it i took the offer.
I also want to become a neonatal nurse and this good help to get me used to seeing things like this. You don't never know what you will see and have to work on. An neonatal nurse is to help take care of the new born infants and those who are in critical condition. I have a hard time looking at stories like this and this could be something or something similar that I have to work with.

Humanities Portfolio 2012 (Ananda Knight)
This year when I walked into my
English class I didn’t know what to expect. I thought that I would be reading
lots of books, taking quizzes and writing essays. As the year went by my
expectation were proven wrong who would of thought that part of my English/history
grade would have anything to do with dancing, or visiting a prison. Throughout
the year we have been through quite a journey. Not only did my English teacher
Mr. Block teach us grammar and had us read books, but he got us physically and
emotionally involved with our lessons. We had many projects to do in which we
were allowed to put a lot of creativity into. For example our final "Passing" Project This project was based on the book “Passing” we were given many
choices on how we could complete this project. My group and I decided to draw a
picture that told a story. There were no real restrictions on what we could or
could not do for our project and that really pushed creativity. “Creativity
helps you to accomplish something from your heart and that you have strong
feelings about.” (Ananda Knight) This project helped me to look into a story
pass the words but look for deeper meanings that not everyone will catch. Another
project that I really liked was when we got into our poetry unit we wrote many
different poems. One of my favorite poems was my “I was raised by poem.” I felt
like I could use that poetry topic to express myself in many different ways. “I
was taught by
other peoples mistakes, I was taught by my own mistakes.” That is on of the
quotes in my I was raised by poem. My poem reflected of lessons, and things I
was brought up on. When Mr. Block told us to write poems I didn’t really think
I could do it. I guess I just had to believe in myself. Mr. Block helped me to
realize that I was a good writer and that if I put my mind and heart into it I
could complete a polished poetry Wiki.
About a week ago we were all surprised as a class when our teacher introduced us to Leah Stein from the Leah Stein Dance Company. We were shown some of her work and were told that we were going to be going out into the streets and perform dance pieces in front of a bunch of people. When I first heard about this I thought What does this have to do with English or History. I am already a dancer so I thought this would be really easy. As the days went by I realized that this was not the kind of dance that I was used to. What I didn’t know is that I was actually learning a lesson through movement I even became closer to my peers you can see more about my experience through my Art in the open reflection. As I write this portfolio I think of many different assignments that I could include. We did so much work that has helped us all to grow. The final two projects I wanted to talk about were for one my play. The play put my through my biggest struggle, but “Challenges push you to try harder.” This was very hard for me because never before had I tried to write a play. I started over three times until I finally came up with a great idea. Our play had to have an connection to the world and it was a really cool experience. Finally my language autobiography this was my first time writing something like this. It was not that hard of an assignment because it was basically about yourself. When writing we always went through the same process of having friends and our teachers read over our work and give us lots of feedback. Mr. Block encouraged us to do so as well. When I finally finished my Language autobiography It was really amazing when I read it out loud I was really proud of my work and that is what matters the most.
Overall this year has affected me in many way. From confusion, understanding, and shed tears I feel like I have learned a lot from my time being in class with Mr. Block and my classmates. Everyday I walked into class Mr. Block always had a new way to challenge our minds and help us accomplish something new. I will never forget my experience and how it has helped me to become a great writer and thinker.
