This week we did a lot and I mean a lot. We started to write our bill, we put the finishing touches on the letter to Dr. D and the grants are getting together. This week was excellent and I am very proud of my group. We had 3 good things and I think we may have only had 1 bad thing.
The 3 good things are that the groups are getting their work done, the bill is already getting written and supplies for our school store are being researched. My group has already started to write the bill using the template we got from Brasof. Vee's group is finishing up their letter for the grant and support. Also a lot of research was done and we may have sponsors for our store.
The only bad thing I can talk about was that yet again people were of task. It wasn't half or 25% our group who was off task it was only about 2 people. I took note of that and will deal with that in a professional way. I am sorry to say that these people were slacking off, but I will solve that this week and just make it better.
My group is doing well and I know that we will keep it up.Our goals are starting to get accomplished and I know that with a little hard work they will be completely accomplished. Thank you to my group and let's keep it up.

Service Learning Week #4
This week we did a lot of work.We have a letter to present to Dr. Davidson,letters for grants and we even have a rough draft for a bill.Things are coming along very well in our group.With all this good, you would think there was no bad, but there is.This week people were playing around and joking.I heard a lot of music and ruckus, I continually told them to quiet down.They did not listen the first 2 times.After the third time they did settle down...a bit.
The good for this week is pretty obvious, we have something to show and plans to put our project into motion.Our project is moving along now.It is picking up pace.The grant group did very well.Veasna has a draft for the grant letter and will be furthering his part.The group that is approaching Dr. D has many ideas and a thought out process to approach him by.My group has a draft of our bill and even came up with an NHD season for the school store.We have started to finalize our plans and we are moving along very well.
The bad this week was of course behavior.This group has very intelligent people, but they are not showing it.People are listening to music and on chairs playing around.They waste time and do not follow my directions.It seems to me that people in the group don't see that I am the leader,I do not want to give out and bad grades, but I will if I have to.I have a responsibility to the group and those in it to care of any nuisances.
To wrap up this reflection I want to commend the people who are working hard.I would like to commend Veasna for finishing a draft even though is team member wasn't here.He did what he needed to do and did it well.Jess wrote up the letter for Dr. D and got the her groups ideas down on paper.Brandon,John and Tabitha did very well this week.They contributed many ideas and worked very hard.I can tell that all the people I commended are serious about our project.To the rest of my team members who read this, please stop the nonsense and try your hardest so I can commend you and give you a good grade.

Service Learning Reflection Week #3
This week's meeting was kind of progressive I should say. We got a lot done this week. We went to the school store room and we made plans to make our store. We got rid of two members who were unhappy and that was a good thing. We also seperated into seperate groups in order to handle different aspects of the project. We also discussed the student hand book. It didn't go all that well. We are still debating that issue and it is probably going to getshot down, but it's ok.
The group was very focused and they got to work right away. Every person took their responsibility seriously. We made a lot of progress and have made very good plans. I am proud to say that our group is moving along.
The 3 things that were wrong with the group was the cooperation, yelling and etermination of the group. Most of the members are not taking the group as seriously as they should. many are there and only there to talk to friends. That is just my opinion and an observation and may not whart is going on. Also there were really only 4 people hard at work on Friday. Tabitha,John,Brandon and myself. We started a draft for the school store bill, looked at ther room to see what we could do with it and gave our inputs on the situation. I have not yet seen any work from the others. I will be sure to get their work or try to get it. I am going to make sure that our group keeps making progress. Until next week Buh-Bye.

Empire Of The Sun Review
Hello there everyone.Well today I will be writing my review on the movie "Empire Of The Sun".This movie was funny,sad,action packed and just kept my focus.My class and I watched this movie in my English class and the movie was so good I started to complain when people started to talk.That is how good that movie was and just plain awesome.
The movie was very sad. James was a very interesting character.He suffered both physical, emotional and mental damage yet he never cried.The only time he ever cried was when he realized he couldn't remember his parents and what they looked like.This in my opinion was the saddest part of the movie.James also had a friend or who he thought was a friend.Basie was James' supposed best friend.Basie did take care of James for awhile and taught him a lot.Even though Basie taught James a lot he never gave him any type of love and put him through a lot.James had to see Basie beaten down and almost killed because of his actions.James had to make sure he survived physically, but never protected himself emotionally or mentally.
As sad as this movie was it was hilarious in its' own little way.James was rich and very spoiled.He made his servant do whatever he wanted and constantly disobeyed her.Not once did he ever think his servant would ever hit or talk back to him.After the attack he was smacked across his face by the same servant he ordered and disrespected.James also had a very weird obsession with planes and was in love with the P-51.At the end of the movie the P-51 was attacking the Japanese base and James was yelling over and over P-51 CADILLAC OF THE SKY,CADILLAC OF THE SKY,CADILLAC OF THE SKY,CADILLAC OF THE SKY,CADILLAC OF THE SKY,CADILLAC OF THE SKY,CADILLAC OF THE SKY,CADILLAC OF THE SKY,CADILLAC OF THE SKY,CADILLAC OF THE SKY.It was funny trust me.
Empire of the Sun had a lot of action.There were constant beatings and fights, There was also a lot of bombings and a lot of people dying. It was sweet.The Japanese were brutal and the planes just continually caused unimaginable fires and destruction.So the movia had everything you could want in a movie.
As you see this movie was very good and had an awesome story line.I personally loved it and it is a movie worth watching.This movie was great it wasn't like the best movie made, but it was still very good and worth watching it.So check it out.

Website For Service Learning
This is the website I looked up. When I read this website I was able to see that we should definitely write a guide on different subjects, bios on some of the teachers and student opinions about our school(of course only good ones). When I looked at this website I saw all these guides to vocabulary and other things of that nature. This website wasn't really about guides and things like that , but it had a lot of resources and little bits of info that we could also intragrate into our "How To Guide". This is the link: http://highschoolace.com/ace/ace.cfm. Hope you enjoy.

Service Learning Session #1
The Friday(4-11-08) that just passed was our first service learning session. In my opinion it was kind of slow. We just spoke on our ideas, but then again I think that;s what that first session was for. We all have many ideas like a student lounge and How To Guide. We all agreed that the student lounge was not our best choice and not relative to our groups purpose.
Many of us liked the idea of the guide and we all agree that we should go through on that project. I'm guessing that Veasna should lead that project, because he seemed a lot more interested in that project than any other ones. So we have one project for our group and working on another one.
I was thinking of other possible ideas for our group and one that came to mind was a guide that could be handed to all the students who come in the summer to see our school and orientation. We can give them to all the students and parents and the guide would show our school through the students eyes. We can give them our perspective of the school and help the students relate instead of just the normal booklet. The booklet talks about stuff that deals with school, but not what the students want to know. That's why I think that booklet shoudl be gone and replaced with ours.
