SHABANEWS!
We have been working on a project called Shabanews! We were tasked making a video and a piece of writing. Without further ado, here’s our writing and video. Sorry I can’t get the pictures in here.
Breaking News in the world of fashion! We are here to talk about the new trends Pakistani clothes! We will interview Phulan and her parents Mr. Abassi and Mrs. Abassi. Then, we will interview their other daughter about her ideas about her husband’s to-be clothes. There was so much drama! Someone cries, and the idea of culture keeps being brought up! What is that about? Get all of it here first at the Fashion Police. The video below is worth watching. We can give you the latest updates, and show you all the new trends!

This project was really interesting. I think it was difficult, but it was fun, and I really liked it. We didn’t have very long, but we had enough time to put together this. Hope you like it!
My Map Art!
Here’s a picture of my current map art project!
What I’m doing is I’m making a foam board Empire State Building and I’m going to glue a map over it so it symbolizes NYC. The inside is going to have fabric wall paper and a bed. I’m going to decorate it like my room, and I will put a sign in the front that says my address so the whole thing symbolizes NYC, and the fact that it’s my home. My next step is to cut the map up and glue it on to the foam board frame. Then I will decorate. Then I will put up the sign, and if I have and map left, I’ll mount it on a piece of foam board with the left over map glued to it and I’ll put the sign on that.
My Fabric Collage!
I made this in art class. We are going to put it on the art guild banner for the pageant!
My geometric pattern!
It was fun to make, but it was hard to get it all glued down. 
Tai Chi Performance!
Here is a picture of us doing Tai Chi!
Here’s a picture of some cute paper monkeys they were giving out!
There were a LOT of acts, and they were all great! I spent time before the show going to different activities ( I’m still sad I missed the ping-pong) and hanging out with my friends, both middle school and high school!
Science food graphs
At the beginning of this, here is what 6A ate.
Here is what 6A ate after.
Our vegetables went up, fruit went down, dairy went up, protein went up, and grain went down. None of these changed by much, but change is change. For a ‘perfect’ plate, you need about 15% grain, 10% dairy, 10% protein, 30% vegetables, and 35% fruit. That was an estimation, but it is something like that.
Who The Heck Are You Process
In humanities, we have been working on a project called Who The Heck Are You. We have 5 steps in the process, and here’s how they went.
Step 1: The Letter
We picked someone we wanted to interview, and wrote a letter to them. This letter contained a formal invitation to interview the person, times when you could meet with your interviewee, your contact information, and a request for what times they would be available. We delivered our letters and waited to hear back. When our possible interviewees responded, we would begin the next step
Step 2: The Questions
We decided on 10 minimum questions that we would ask the person. We also made final arrangements about when we would meet for the big interview. When the time came, we moved on.
Step 3: The Interview
We met with our interviewees at some point, and asked them a series of questions. We wrote down the answers, and recorded the whole thing. I chose to interview my friend Armant because for a while it seemed like he was more than he looks, and I also knew proetty much nothing about him. Here are the questions I asked. Where are you from? Who’s in your family (parents, siblings, cousins)? Academic things you enjoy ( during IWP, reading, writing etc)? Places you want to go? Things you want to do before you’re too old? Favorite pastimes (weekends)? Favorite games (with family/friends)? Favorite movies (with family/friends)? Favorite foods? What do you want to be? Why do you want to be ___? The whole thing went pretty well, though we got interrupted with 4 questions to go. But we did that over email and managed to finish before the deadline.
Step 4: The Step 2 Document
We listened to our interview a lot, and wrote down the most interesting bits. We started planning what we would write.
Step 5: The Final Paper
We did a lot of work on these, and it took all of these steps to get here. We spent a lot of time writing, but just as much time editing and peer editing. Click here for my final paper.
Art and Artisans Guild!!!
On Wednesday during Big Time, we had our first guild meeting! I am in the Art & Artisans Guild, and we did some very fun things. We learned a bit about carving faces into the corners of blocks of Balsa Foam! It was very cool and fun, but my carving was really bad. We then broke out the flowers that Guild Master Jeremiah brought for us to draw. We sketched them once or twice with charcoal, and then showed our drawings. All of them were pretty good, but not quite as good as Jeremiah’s. We also found out that we are going to the Cloisters at 10:00 on Wednesday. I am excited because I will have only two classes since the afternoon is going to be Big Time, and that is when we gather with our guilds.
PE
In PE, we are doing THE 6TH GRADE OLYMPICS!!!!! It is very competitive. There are four teams, and each team has ten or eleven players. The teams are as follows. In the lead is Blue, next is Black, then Red, and finally White. I am on the Red team. Every team has two captains. One boy, one girl. The Red’s are Grace and Miles. We have a lot of fun with Olympics. Tomorrow we do the boys vs boys and girls vs girls TUG OF WAR! Go Red!
Wire sculptures
In art we are making wire sculptures. We took a video of ourselves doing a motion, then got images that we are basing 5 sculptures off of. I have made all 5, now I have to make them do what I did in the video. Here are my pictures.
