Podcast 3 // Bella, Andrew, Kristina, Kevin
All of our group members were present for this podcast. We talked about the last 2 chapters of the book, 9 and 10. Chapter 9 was basically like a summary of all the methods people use to lie with stats. Chapter 10 was a summary of how to point out these lies and what questions to ask. Our plan was the same with writing everything out than recording. We didn't have any conflicts or questions.
Podcast 2 // Bella, Andrew, Kristina, Kevin
All of our group members were present for this podcast. For this podcast we talked about the next four chapters of the book, chapters 4 through 8. Basically these chapters talked about misleading graphs and how people accomplish making these graphs. We also talked about an article Mr. Miles asked us to read. We kept with our same plan by writing everything out first then recording. Again we didn't have any conflict or disagreement. No questions came up this time around. Below are the graphs we referenced.
Here is the article.
Isabella Beato's Capstone
For my project I planed a Sports Banquet. This banquet was suppose to honor the SLA seniors because many people don't play sports after high school. For my process I started to locate places. My first place was the Waterfall room in south Philadelphia. We had everything planned for this place but a little gift fell into my lap. The SLA soph Hop was planned at poppies and fell through because of small ticket sales. I received the deposit from that event and moved my capstone there, making me have to due less fundraising. After much outreach we were unable to make enough ticket sales and canceled the event. Hopefully a rising senior will pick up my idea and really try to make this a thing.
The bibliography can be found here.
Podcast 1 // Bella, Andrew, Kristina, Kevin
All of our group members were present for this podcast. During this podcast we discussed the first four chapters of the book and the introduction section. We just basically discussed each chapter and talked about the key points. We also talked about the writing style of this book and said that maybe we should of read this book in the first week of class. We did this by having a pre discussion and writing things a white board. By doing this we got all of our thoughts out and were able to have a smoother conversation. We didn't have any points of conflict or disagreement during this discussion. The only real question that came up was the question "is there a such thing as a good sample?" We hope you enjoy.
McCarthy Unabridged: The Road, Page 125
Heres a dream of the boys that could of been cut from the original version.
To be inserted on page 125 after “... stopped shaking and after a while he slept.” breaking the current paragraph into 2 and making a new one in the middle.
The boy and the man had just arrived. They were scouring the house looking for anything to scavenge. Just as they were about to exit they noticed a trap door on the floor. Before the boy could speak the man opened the door and jumped down. Cemented in place, the boy just stood watching. The man ran back up the stairs and slammed the door shut. He started screaming but the boy couldn’t make out his words. The man screamed and grabbed for the boy when the door slammed opened. Before the boy could blink the man was dead. Shot in temple right in front of him. The world around the boy began to ring and blur. The boy fell to his knees he began to scream but the ringing drowned out all sounds. The woman who shot the man grabbed the boy and covered his mouth. The boy struggled to break free but could not succeed. The man accompanying the woman walked over to the trap door and opened it. They threw the boy down the steps and into the pit of half eaten people. The boy tried to run but was instantly pinned down. The half eaten carnivores began to tear at the boy, limb by limb. Scratching and biting until their nails bled. The boy could hold on no longer, everything went dark.
This is a little piece to help you understand what I wrote and why it would fit into the book.
Giving the boy this nightmare about what previously happened is one of the best ways to show his development. Nightmares are our worst fears presented to us in the worst way possible. The boy having this nightmare but being virtually unfazed by it really shows how he is developing into more of a man. Not being scared and facing your fears is a huge personal development.
This scene plot and placement have a lot to do with each other. There is a lot of reflection going on with the boy because it's the first time these people come back up in his mind. The encounter they had doesn’t come back up until after the boy sleeps and wakes up for the second time. By placing this dream here it also shows foreshadowing as to why the boy brought up the conversation of good guys and bad guys directly after my scene. It is important to know that because that’s how my scene is connected to the theme, essential question, and motif. This scene addresses the theme of survival. Survival is the whole point of their journey and these carnivore people are the only ones who can stop the man and the boy from surviving. The man and the boy try their hardest to stay away from people like this, making them a sort of unknown variable. In this case unknowns lead to death and death means no survival.
My essential question and motif are pretty similar to each other. I wanted to tackle the question why be the “good guys?” and the motif of actual good guys and actual bad guys. When the man and the boy are in a situation where they have no food, they still refuse to eat people but it can be a little unclear why when the ultimate goal is to survive. There’s no one around to tell them they did something wrong so why bother worrying. This scene shows exactly why they choose to be good. They don’t want their worst nightmare to come true.
The motif really comes through when you consider what makes the carnivore people bad. Even though there isn’t someone to tell them right or wrong humans still have morality. Killing someone is completely against all morals and so is eating them. The true difference here between good and bad are the people who can stay true to their morals and that's what the man and boy do.
Lastly I feel like I wrote this as similar to McCarthy as possible. I used a sort of monotone while writing and used words like dark, scavenged, and carnivorous to mimic but not mirror his writing.
The Taming of the Bridesmaid
In Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" there are two sisters. The youngest sister, Bianca, can't get married until her older sister gets married, Katherine. The only problem here is that nobody likes the older sister because they think she's too aggressive. In the movie "Bridesmaids" the maid of honor lost her life savings and boyfriend and lives a boring life. She has a "friends-with-bennifits" relationship with a self absorbed man, who makes her feel worthless and unwanted, similar to the way men feel about Katherine in "The Taming of the Shrew." Women who are treated in this manner think that they will never get married and that they are destine to be alone. Often this isn't the case. If women weren't so stuck in their own ways, they would find that happiness comes at ease. When they do realize they need to change, their life changes for the better almost instantly.
"Call me daughter? Now, I promise you
You have showed a tender fatherly regard
To wish me wed to one half lunatic,
A madcap ruffian and a swearing Jack
That thinks with oaths to face the matter out."
You have showed a tender fatherly regard
To wish me wed to one half lunatic,
A madcap ruffian and a swearing Jack
That thinks with oaths to face the matter out."
(Act 2, Scene 1, lines 278-282)
During this part of the play a man named Petruchio comes to marry Katherine. Katherine can't stand this man and immediately denies his proposal. However, the man lies to her father and says that they are in fact getting married. Her father believes the man without second thought causing Katherine to become outraged. It also made her feel like her voice wasn't being heard.
During this part of the movie the main character, Annie, is trying to leave a man named Ted's house. This is the man that she is "friends-with-bennifits" with. She is trying to leave his house after he tells her he would like to stay friends, even though they had sex the night before. This made her feel like she has no worth.
While these two scenes seem very different, they do have some similarities. Even though Katherine is getting proposed to she still denies marriage. If the fact that she just met this man is ignored, a man wants to marry her! This doesn't happen very often because every man around thinks she is terrible. Katherine is stuck in her own wicked ways so much, that she ignores the fact that a man wants her to be his wife. Annie on the other hand wants Ted to be her boyfriend. She tries everything to win him over but it doesn't work. He basically kicked her out after they had sex. Annie fails to realize that Ted isn't the man for her and that he's just using her for sex. If she would stop going back to her old habits with this man, she could find a new man that would actually make her happy. These women have very different outlooks on life but are making the same mistake. They wont let go of their old ways and are forcing themselves to be miserable.
"Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper,
They head, thy sovereign - one that cares for thee,
And for thy maintenance commits his body
To painful labor both by sea and land,
To watch the night in storms, the day in cold,
Whilst thou li'st warm at home, secure and safe;
And craves no other tribute at thy hands
But love, fair looks, and true obedience:
Too little payment for so great a debt....
But now I see our lances are but straws,
Our strength as weak, our weakness past compare,
That seeming to be most which we indeed least are.
Then vail your stomachs, for it is no boot,
And place your hands below your husband's foot,
In token of which duty, if he please,
My hand is ready, may it do him ease."
They head, thy sovereign - one that cares for thee,
And for thy maintenance commits his body
To painful labor both by sea and land,
To watch the night in storms, the day in cold,
Whilst thou li'st warm at home, secure and safe;
And craves no other tribute at thy hands
But love, fair looks, and true obedience:
Too little payment for so great a debt....
But now I see our lances are but straws,
Our strength as weak, our weakness past compare,
That seeming to be most which we indeed least are.
Then vail your stomachs, for it is no boot,
And place your hands below your husband's foot,
In token of which duty, if he please,
My hand is ready, may it do him ease."
(Act 5, Scene 2, lines 146-154, lines 173-179)
Fast forwarding to the end of the play, Katherine finally shook her old ways. She is talking to a few other women about the importance of her husband in her life. She basically tells them that a women needs to be everything for her husband and always be whatever he needs his wife to be.
Also fast forwarding to the near end of the movie, Annie meets back up with a man from her past. She didn't even give this man the time of day when they met before but now she has fallen for him and is willing to let go.
Again these scenes seem different the two women have many things in common. Katherine finally let go of her ways and fell in love with a man who always loved her. She realized that she truly could be happy if she let go of her ways. She also got to tell other women about the way she feels which is not something she was used to doing. She showed herself that she has value and worth and truly can live a happy life. Annie also let go of her old ways and began to open up to a new, better man. She finally realized that the guy for her was really there all along and she didn't even know it. By letting go of the past she is now able to be happy and maybe on day get married just like her friends.
Throughout the play and the movie it is clear to see that letting go of old ways and changing is always better. In todays society dating is looked at very different from the time "The Taming of the Shrew" was written. That doesn't mean we can't learn from it though. Many women are now able to be themselves and love people for who they truly are. This is all thanks to letting change in.

Changing World Essay
Analytical Essay:
The world is constantly changing anywhere from advancements in technology to changes in the environment. Humans are also always changing mentally and physically. When the men in “The Things They Carry” get drafted into war they are forced to face many changes in their lives. To cope with all of these changes many people shut them out and ignore them. Ignoring or not embracing change is one of the worst mistakes a person could make.
Dave Jensen and Lee Strunk didn’t start off as friends at all. However, based off of this story, when a person is at war they need to learn to trust people extremely fast. The two men made a pact that if either of them ever got critically injured in battle, than the other would kill him. They signed a document and had witnesses. When Lee got his leg blown off this pact went out the window. Lee said “But you’ve got to promise. Swear it to me--Swear you won't kill me. Jensen nodded his head and said “I swear,”...” Lee died shortly after that. In this scenario Jensen embraced change extremely quickly and went back on his written word. The two men changed their pact. Many people would have stuck with it because they wouldn’t want to change what they said. Jensen wouldn’t kill his friend because he didn’t want to have that burden.
Before Lieutenant Jimmy Cross went to war he met a woman named Martha. He quickly fell in love with Martha. Throughout the beginning of the book he could not stop thinking of her. This caused him to lead his men into a bad situation and someone got killed. “He felt shame. He hated himself. He had loved martha more than his men, and as a consequence Lavender was now dead, and this was something he would have to carry in his stomach for the rest of the war.” Soon after that he came to a realization “... and because he realized that she did not love him and never would.” When Jimmy Cross went into the war he wasn’t ready to embrace the change of leaving Martha behind. Jimmy hung onto Martha like a little kid with a pacifier who just isn’t ready to give it up. Him going into battle with his mind full of thoughts about Martha got one of his men killed. He now needs to live with that. He got a man killed because he wasn’t ready to embrace change. By the time he finally realized the truth about Martha and his relationship, it was too late.
''I went to my room in the basement and started pounding the typewriter,'' he recalled. ''I did it all summer. It was the most terrible summer of my life, worse than being in the war. My conscience kept telling me not to go, but my whole upbringing told me I had to. That horrible summer made me a writer. I don't know what I wrote. I've still got it, reams of it, but I'm not willing to look at it. It was just stuff - bitter, bitter stuff, and it's probably full of self-pity. But that was the beginning.'' Tim O’Brien getting drafted into the war seemed like the worst thing possible to him. However, he embraced this change. By coming to the realization that he should just accept this life changing encounter instead of pushing it away. By accepting it, it made him the writer he is today. He vented his anger but acceptance of this change by writing and it made into an extremely successful author.
When people are faced with change they either choose to embrace it or ignore it. By ignoring change people put themselves into situations that aren’t always the best. It’s best to embrace change instead of completely ignoring it.
Narrative Essay:
It was finally December and that meant it was almost Christmas! Christmas time meant a million phone calls from every family member asking what I wanted. One call was special though. It was the phone call from my grandmom that always stuck out to me. We had a great relationship but many people would call it strange. For starters, I didn’t call her my grandmom. I called her my aunt. I did this because she always said she was to young to be a grandmom. She wanted me to call her Aunt Jan so that’s what I did. She was also a very open person. Anything that was on her mind she would say. That’s what I loved, but sometimes hated, about her. She had a saying “Lord keep one hand on my shoulder, and the other on my mouth.” So back to the phone call. It always started with a “how was your day?” I’d say “Good, what about you?” Then it would go on to “So Bella you know it’s that time of the year right.” We’d talk about how I’ve already talked to a billion people and told them all the same thing, I just want money. After finally telling her something different than money, we’d hang up. When Christmas came along I would go to her house in the morning, still wearing my pajamas. I would see all the things I asked for but every year there was always one extra thing. It was the same thing every year just a little different. It was a Victoria Secret sweat suit. The only difference between this years and last years was the color. She never got me the same color two years in a row. The last sweat suit I ever got from her was purple, one of her favorite colors.
A few months before the Christmas of 2012 we got some bad news. Aunt Jan got diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a really hard thing for all of us to wrap our heads around because none of us saw it coming. My grandmom fought hard and beat cancer once. When Christmas of 2012 came nothing changed. We had our same phone call. I still went there in the morning, just our usual Christmas.
After Christmas her cancer came back, and it came back stronger than before. Unfortunately, on one sad day in May of 2013, my grandmom lost her battle to breast cancer. Cancer had gotten the best of her and none of us could believe it. We all knew that she wasn't going to make it because that's what the doctors told us but we still had hope that she would beat it again. None of us were ready to accept the fact that she would be gone, especially me.
I saw her the night before she died. I looked at her and she looked back at me with a very particular look. A look that said the words I never wanted to hear, without even saying them. A look that was certain that her time here was over. It hurt to bad to agree with her.
After her death I wasn't ready to accept all the changes that were about to happen. I started to let my life fall apart. In my eyes the only way to really deal with my problems was to drink. Where I live teen drinking is a pretty normal thing. Almost everyone teenager drinks to have fun. That's not why I started though. Sure it might of seemed like I was having fun in the moment, but when I got home and it was just me it wasn't fun anymore. I called her phone almost every night and listened to her voicemail over and over again. I left long messages of the things I never got to say. I hoped that one day maybe, just maybe, she would answer.
I knew that it was time to finally accept that she was gone. The final realization was when Christmas of 2014 came along. I didn't get that phone call I usually got. When I went there in the morning, there wasn't a sweatsuit waiting for me to change into. The house felt empty and not whole. All the things that we did together, I would now have to do by myself.
When I finally accepted this change I realized that everything was going to be okay. I knew that she wouldn't want me to let my life fall apart just because she isn't here anymore. I knew that if she were here she would ask me what the hell I was doing with myself. Whenever I felt down I would just ask myself how she would react if she were still here. By accepting the fact that just because she's gone physically, doesn't mean she's gone spiritually. I know that she's always there watching over me and I'm now able to accept that and be a better person because of it.

Bella Beato's Revision
Today America is constantly improving, but not always improving for the better. With the increase in technology and need for resources Americans are moving in a negative direction. The resources needed for all the technology really moves in a backwards direction. Damage to the environment is inevitable because of the constant change of the world and the standard of the way Americans live.
With the constant growth of the human race they tear down forest and other natural habitats to make room for high rise buildings with condos and other things are created. Deforestation is extremely harmful to the planet. “The most dramatic impact is a loss of habitat for millions of species. Seventy percent of Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes.” This supports the thesis because it shows how when the world changes and more and more humans are born more and more species die to make room for us. Humans need trees to breathe and by destroying all of our trees how will humans breathe. Humans need to stop destroying our natural resources and keep our earth healthy.
With the forever growing world of technology more and more people will need to use electricity to charge or power these devices. Humans don’t use the best methods of getting electricity however. “Most of the electricity in the United States is generated from fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas, and oil.” This supports the thesis because to get these resources its extremely harmful for the earth and humans will eventually run out of these resources. Humans don't use our other natural resources enough. We as humans, don't use solar power as nearly enough as we need to. When we run out no one will know what to do.
In addition to all of this development, factory framing is growing in the world. Animals are treated poorly and food is becoming genetically mutated. With these growing factories it is killing the environment. “The waste lagoons on Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) not only pollute our groundwater, but deplete it as well. Many of the farms use the groundwater for cleaning, cooling, and drinking.” This helps the thesis because its shows by making these factories and not doing everything the natural way it ruins the environment. Americans consume these harmful mutated products and destroy our bodies. But humans don't only destroy their bodies they harm the animals that they mutate.
Although Americans might not think that damage to the earth matters much, their influence goes beyond damaging it the earth to actually killing it. Americans don't consider their impact on the environment when they do pretty much anything. When in fact the earth is affected by everything that we do.
Mini Capstone - Bella Beato
My most interesting project was my SFP. I exploded balloons with chilled and room temperature alcohol in them and tested there combustion rate. Here is my write up and presentation. My project relates back to the SLA core values.
Inquiry- I wanted to know what temperature of alcohol combust faster for safety reasons.
Research- I used research to find out chemical equations and speed of molecules.
Collaboration- Me and my partner worked together perfectly
Presentation- I made my slides clear and easy to read without a lot of words
Reflection- If I were to do this differently I would use fuels instead of alcohols
World History Final Portfolio 2014 - Bella Beato
In order to understand yourself and others you need to understand the past. In history this year we’ve learned many things relating to my main topic. Our identity today depends on the past of ancestors and many others. Throughout the year we’ve learned about religion, revolutions, Galileo, and colonization. In my portfolio I will show you examples of work that relates back to my main topic, “In order to understand yourself and others you need to understand the past.”
We learned about religion in all different parts of the world. To end the religion unit we compared two different religions. I compared Islamic and Hinduism religions. Here is my Wiki Space. I demonstrated the difference between animal consumption in these religions. This helped me realize how people around me that practice these religions feel about animal consumption. It helped me become more sympathetic and understanding.
Next we learned about many the French and Haitian revolutions. In my journal entry number 33 I talked about different things that could start a revolution. I said that to start a revolution you need to “Establish a goal, Promote your cause, have a vision of a better future, have education, good leadership, and everyone has to agree.” Here is a link to the journal entry. We also did background information about the french revolution to get a better understanding. Here is a link to my background information. To finish the unit we made a movie about revolutions. We focused on a main question and used evidence to support our answer. Here is my project. This unit really helped me understand that without these strong people rebelling against the French rule our world would not be the same today. Who knows what the world would be like without these people.
We did a smaller unit about Galileo and his inventions and beliefs. Galileo was a brilliant man who challenged the church that they were wrong. In this renaissance time period it was unheard of to challenge the church because the church was the government. He was convicted for his ideas and sent to jail. As an assignment I created a letter from the perspective of Galileo to the church. Here is the letter. This was a great way for me to get into the perspective of another person and see how they think.
The last unit of the year was about colonization. We learned about how the British attempted to colonize the whole world so that they could control everything. In journal entry 51 we explained two quotes. For the first quote I said “How you make the result happen is just as important as the result.” Here is a link to the entry. At the end of the unit we made our own history exhibit about colonization and presented it to the class. Here is a link to my exhibit. By creating this exhibit I got to see the different struggles that people went through when the British tried to take over their homes. It also showed me that the British shaped the world to make it the way it is today.
Throughout the year we have learned many interesting things in history class. I’ve learned overall that all these things helps us understand the people around us and ourselves. We need to understand the struggles and battles other people went through and are still going through. By understanding this information it makes us, as humans, more sympathetic. It is important to care for other because we need others to care for us. We treat others the way we want to be treated.
Revolution Guidebook Project
In this unit we learned about different revolutions. We learned about old and modern revolutions. We learned about King Louie and his unfair class system. We also learned about the Arab Springs and there quest for freedom.
I talked about what lights a fire under people. I talked about how different events can lead to people making different actions. I also talked about what makes people join or start there own revolution.
Pipeline Monologue Project
I learned a lot about the environment and human behavior in this unit. I liked learning about all this stuff because i find it interesting. We definitely have enough information as a class to be experts on the pipeline.
850 miles (1,368 km) in the United States (transcanada)
"This pipeline will allow Canadian and American oil producers more access to the large refining markets found in the American Midwest and along the U.S. Gulf Coast." (transcanada)
"require 9,000 skilled American workers" (transcanada)
"With more than 60 years of experience building and operating pipelines, TransCanada has successfully reclaimed thousands of acres of native rangeland on pipeline rights of way throughout North America." (transcanada)
"Despite growing domestic oil production, both the U.S. Energy Information Administration and the International Energy Agency have forecast that the U.S. will continue to import 3.5-to-7.5-million barrels per day into the year 2035, to meet American demand." (transcanada)
Monologue One (Secret Service Agent)-
(Secret service walked into his house late but just in time for dinner. He sat down at the table with his family.)
Monologue Two (Pipeline Worker)-
(worker walks onto site and has a conversation with another worker about all the controversy)
Ya know I really don't know why people make such a big deal about this pipeline. Were making a decent living right now. I just really need the money for my family right now. I’m professionally trained. I went threw the training program like everybody else here and got certified to work. Everyone thinks were gonna mess this up. Do you get what I’m saying? I mean people make mistakes and stuff but I feel like we can't. They'll fire us and just replace us at the drop of a dime. Well, I guess we should get back to work before we actually get fired. See ya later.

Boy have I had a hell of a day. All these hippie weirdos have been outside of the white house for days now. There hooligans! I can't stand them! They think they can do whatever they want! Not on my watch! So this hippie thought it would be a good idea to walk onto the White House lawn and run for the president! So of course naturally doing my job I ran at him and tackled him. Then he tried to fight me for tackling him! The nerve of this man! We had to evacuate the president and go threw all these security measures which made me late to come home. I don't know why this pipeline is such a big deal to them. Who the hell cares? Well anyway what's for dinner? Ohh pizza my favorite!

(The fox trots along, past the pipeline looking for a new home)
I can't believe these stupid workers would tear up my home and put this worthless piece of metal on top of it. I was living here peacefully until they ruined it. I had such a beautiful home. Now there going to destroy the earth and possibly spill oil all over the continent. WHats wrong with this human species? Why would they want to do such bad things? I just don't understand humans. I have no home, no food, no water and all they're worried about is this pipeline. Not the safety of all the other species in this world. Well, I guess its time to start over somewhere else.
Negative Space Project
Explain how you found negative space in
1. your cut out?, 2. in your still life drawing?
I used the colors and shapes
Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
It allows you to see two sides of the artwork
Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not?
Not all the time because I find it hard to wrap my mind aroundE1U9: La Casa de Thompson

Final Perspective Drawing
One thing that I learned that I didn't know how to before is to let your mind see the picture. If you don't let your mind see the picture you wont be able to draw it and make it look nice. You have to get through your mental barriers. If I didn't learn this my picture wouldn't look the way it does. It wouldn't be in perspective. If I had to draw this picture again I would probably manage my time better, I procrastinated a lot. My advice to someone else would be to not get frustrated. Also, make sure all your lines are straight. My most helpful resource was Mrs.Hull. She helped me get through all my mental barriers.

How to say and ask the time in spanish
How to say and ask the time in spanish
First you will need to know the numbers 1-59:
uno=1 dieciseis=16 treinta y uno=31
dos=2 diecisiete=17 treinta y dos=32
tres=3 dieciocho=18 treinta y tres=33
cuatro=4 diecinueve=19 treinta y cuatro=34
cinco=5 veinte=20 treinta y cinco=35
seis=6 veinteuno=21 treinta y seis=36
siete=7 veintedós=22 treinta y siete=37
ocho=8 veintetrés=23 treinta y ocho=38
nueve=9 veintecuatro=24 treinta y nueve=39
diez=10 veintecinco=25 cuarenta=40
once=11 veinteseis=26 cuarenta y uno=41
doce=12 veintesiete=27 cuarenta y dos=42
trece=13 veinteocho=28 cuarenta y tres=43
catorce=14 veintenueve=29 cuarenta y cuatro=44
quince=15 treinta=30 cuarenta y cinco=45
cuarenta y seis=46
cuarenta y siete=47
cuarenta y ocho=48
cuarenta y nueve=49
cincuenta=50
cincuenta y uno=51
cincuenta y dos=52
cincuenta y tres=53
cincuenta y cuatro=54
cincuenta y cinco=55
cincuenta y seis=56
cincuenta y siete=57
cincuenta y ocho=58
cincuenta y nueve=59
Next we will learn how to ask what time it is:
¿Qué hora es?
¿Qué hora son?
¿Qué hora tiene(s)?
All of these mean the same thing, “What time is it?”
So to begin saying the time you start off with:
Son las
This means “It is”
Then you say the time:
Son las cinco
This means “It is 2:00”
“Son las” applies for all numbers except one. To say its 1:00 you have to say:
Es la una
This also applies with saying 12:00 also:
12:00 AM is Es la medianoche(It’s midnight)
12:00 PM is Es la mediodia(It’s noon)
You can add “Y” after Son las cinco to say the exact minutes:
Son las cinco y treinta y cinco
This means ”It is 5:35”
Here are some simple time shortcuts:
Y cinco= :05
y cuarto= :15 (quarter after)
Menos cuarto= :45 (quarter of)
Y media= :30
Menos cinco= :55
en punto (on the dot)
You can also say “Menos” this will subtract time so you will have to say its 1 hour ahead when its really not an hour ahead, for example:
Son las seis menos cuarto
This is 5:45. You can use “menos” just like “y”
Lastly, we will learn to say the time of day:
de la mañana (in the morning)
de la tarde (in the afternoon)
de la noche (in the evening)
Heres a video of me trying to find out what time my plane back to the U.S.A. from Puerto Rico
This is how you say and ask the time in spanish. I hope you enjoyed this lesson.
How to say the months and date in spanish
How to say the months and date in spanish
First you need to know the months
-enero; January
-febrero; February
-marzo; March
-abril; April
-mayo; May
-junio; June
-julio; July
-agosto*; August
-septiembre*; September
-octubre*; October
-noviembre*; November
-dieciembre*; December
Notice that the months all start with a lowercase letter, this is because in the spanish vocabulary months begin with a lowercase.
The months with the asterisk(*) are the five most commonly miss spelled months so watch your spelling.
The next thing you need to know is that the number, for example (11th) always comes first. Instead of the date being February 11th, it’s the 11th of February.
Now you need to know the numbers 1-31:
uno=1 dieciseis=16 treinta y uno=31
dos=2 diecisiete=17
tres=3 dieciocho=18
cuatro=4 diecinueve=19
cinco=5 veinte=20
seis=6 veinteuno=21
siete=7 veintedós=22
ocho=8 veintetrés=23
nueve=9 veintecuatro=24
diez=10 veintecinco=25
once=11 veinteseis=26
doce=12 veintesiete=27
trece=13 veinteocho=28
catorce=14 veintenueve=29
quince=15 treinta=30
Now we are going to learn how say it all together. First you say:
Es el_______....
This means “It’s the”. Then you would say the number date. So for an example you would say:
Es el once
In english this means “It’s the 11th”
Next you would say:
de_____
This means “of” in english. Then you would say the month. For an example you would say:
de abril
No we will put it all together:
Es el once de abril
This is how you say the date.
Next we will learn how to ask the date:
¿Cuál es fecha de hoy? This means “What’s today’s date?”
¿Qué día es hoy? This means “What was yesterdays date?”
¿Qué día es mañana? This means “What is tomorrows date?”
And lastly, just in case you need to know, here are the days of the week:
lunes; Monday
martes; Tuesday
miércoles; Wednesday
jueves; Thursday
viernes; Friday
sábado; Saturday
domingo; Sunday
The first letter is also lowercase just like the months.
Here is a video of a person trying to tell a delusional person the date:I hope you enjoyed this lesson and now know how to say and ask the date in spanish.
Beato, Bella, Lucidchart, Home network
My modem and wireless router are a 2 in 1. In my LAN i have 3 phones connected. I also have an xbox connected and 2 computers.
An OMG moment I had while learning this is that there's a lot of steps the happen within the internet. To get information the modem and router, the computer does a bunch of steps in a few seconds. If you have a home network be sure to have a password so people can't slow you down. Also, put it at the highest point of the house so to internet can basically rain down on your devices.
