The reason why this piece is my favorite is because I put a lot hard work into it. It was very fun and interesting to make this work of art. I made this to look like a medieval s.

Artist Statement
I call this work of art Foam Map. I created this by subway letters in my name. Then I put a subway map on a piece of foam board. Then I put the letters on that. Somethings I learned while creating is you have to think outside the box to make your piece very creative. My favorite part is the map on the foam board. If I could change something about it would be to make my letters more clear. While making I was surprised how hard it was to draw letters on foam board. Something else I want to share about this piece is I had a lot of fun making it.
Artist Statement
I call this piece letter map. I created this work of are by drawing my name in foam board. Then I cut it out. Later I put map on a different piece of foam board. Then I put the letters on the foam board. I learned while creating this piece is you have to take your time on important things. My favorite part is the map on the foam board. If I could change something it would be to make the letters more neat. While making I was surprised that cutting foam board could be very hard. Something I want to share is this was a very fun project.
System Sheet
One of the biggest takeaways I have from this unit is I never knew how other systems can connect to each other. I found that very interesting. My group worked on the digestive system. It was very fun teaching and learning about it. It was also fun learning about other systems
Subway Map Project
My Idea of this project is to cut out my name in subway letters out of foam board. Then I will put them on a different piece of foam board. On the different piece of foam board I will put a cut up map of places that are important to me. My next step is to color the subway letters and then put the map on the foam board. After that I will attach the letters to the map.
Shabanu Diary/ How to survive and perpare for a sand storm
Hamir’s Death.
Dear Diary,
Today I awake to the sound of rain outside and the voices of Mama, Dadi, the rangers, and Murad. I hope we can return home today after the wedding, oh wait there is no wedding. I remember getting the news last night of Hamir’s death. I feel so bad for Phulan I know she loved that man. Questions race through my head of what happened. I go up to Mama, she has bags under her eyes. I know the adults did not have very good sleep last night, they where up late on the radio contacting the other rangers. I ask Mama of how the death of Hamir happened but she does not know. I know not to ask more questions because I know that Mama is sad and tired, but my curiosity flows anyways. “What will happen Mama?” I ask. “We will see Shabanu we will see” she replies. I climb back into my tent and find Phulan still sleeping. She was also up late crying. Her eyes are sore and bruised from crying. I come back to Mama making chapatis, milk, and tea over the fire. The men and Auntie join us for a quick meal. Later Phulan joins us she drinks a cup of tea and eats some bread. This is the first thing Phulan has eaten or drinked in two days. Phulan and mama talk about how she feels. “I feel empty” she says. We gather up our things and start heading to Derawar. It will be a ten hour journey back. I hope Sakina tells me what happened to Hamir. That is all I can think about on the way there. That is it for now diary talk to you later.
It seems like a sand storm is coming near us. We must prepare for the sand storm. Here come with me and I will show you how to prepare and survive.
The first thing you should do is make a survival kit. It is very important to have a lot of water because the sand storms are long and you will not be able to get any. Water here is very limited so you must save a lot. You can get water from the toba. Also make sure you have something to cover your face because sand can get in your eyes. Most importantly you must have food, such as chapatis and Biryani.
Always make sure to stay inside. If you do not have a hut or a tent make one quick out of sticks. To make sure your animals are safe gather them together and keep them safe. Make sure everyone around you is inside. Now that you know what to do start preparing for the storm.
My Haiku
Haiku: Running into water
I feel the splash
On my body.
A haiku is a 3 line poem. The first line consists of 5 syllables, the second line of 7 syllables and the third line of 5 syllables. Haiku can be about anything, but is often about nature. My haiku was about going into water and feeling the water. This was my first time writing a haiku and it was not that challenging because it is a simple step by step process as shone above. I feel that writing haiku’s are fun and interesting because you can say what ever you want to say. I will continue to write more haiku s over the year because it is fast, easy, and fun. Here is an image of haiku representing nature.
Structure fits function
The small intestine is part of the gastrointestinal tract. The small intestine in large because it needs to take your food and your body needs to break down food into nutrients and absorb the nutrients. This is the part of digesting the food happens. The reason for the small intestine being so squished together is the small intestine is 15 to 30 feet long. The large intestine is on the outer part and it coils the small intestine. The small intestine helps absorb food but it does not store. All of that helps the small intestine break down food easier.
Here is step by step of the system
- The Small Intestine has a rough surface (villi) so the food will be absorbed by it into the body. It isn’t stored, but it is absorbed.
- It is 15-30 ft long, to make sure the maximum the amount of nutrients absorbed from the food.
- Because it is so long, the body coils it up on itself.
- So it doesn’t uncoil, the Small Intestine is surrounded by the Large Intestine.
- It also has a thick muscle layer surrounding it to increase the surface area.
All of that helps the Small Intestine do it’s function!
Creative Writing Piece
In creative writing we have guide lines to help us write. One of them was what would happen if you had 100 balloons. I wrote a piece of an adventure about a guy who gets 100 balloons and flights up into the air. When he is in the air he gets hit by a plane and wakes up in Portugal with 3 weird guys. I have not finished this piece but I like it because I know the ending will be very good.
The day I got 100 balloons was like nothing before. It was just a regular day and then I was given the balloons, and now I am in Lisbon Portugal. My name is Langston Grant from Miami, but now I am in Portugal living in a shack. The day I was handed the balloons was a few weeks ago, and this is how the tail goes.
It was just a regular day in Miami when some crazy guys comes up to me and says, “Hey you skiny guy come here”, “me I say”, “yes you”. I walk over the odd man and right away starts blabbing things about 100 balloons later he pulled about 100 balloons! He asked if I wanted them but I simply said no. He seemed really mad that I said no and shoved the balloons in my hands, and I slowly flew away.
I was flying in the air being pulled up by 100 balloons I wanted to go back down but I was too far up and the drop would have killed me. Higher and higher I went panicking inside trying to stay calm but it was too hard. My arm was getting tired from holding the balloons so I tied the string to my waist. It felt like hours I was in the air for so long. Later I heard something really loud, and I saw a plane coming my way. I tried to get out the way but I couldn’t. The plane was getting closer and I could see the pilot’s face. The look on the pilots was horrified. The plane was so close, then I felt then the impact.
I found myself awaken in a strange hut. I opened my eyes and I was lying on a bed with 3 huge men looking over me. When they saw me open my eyes they started talking in portuguese really fast. Quickly I said I speak english, I did not think they knew how to speak english but they did. “We found lying in a forest not far from here with many balloons,” said one of the huge man.
“We bring you back to this hut and gave you medicine,”
said another big man. “Where am I”, I said. “Lisbon Portugal!” the 3 men cried.
I wondered how I ended up in Portugal, but I remembered some strange man gave me 100 balloons, and I started to float up in the air and the next thing I know I was hit by a plane.
I got up and asked for food. Later I was severed roast sluckling pig and sausages which were as red as a fire truck.

https://www.tes.com/lessons/qguXO1kd5CYnHQ/hip-hop-by-sam
I chose Hip Hop because I know a lot about modern day Hip Hop and I want to learn more about old Hip Hop. Before I started I knew a little about old Hip Hop like Run D.M.C and Public Enemy. It has been a little hard composing the piece because I did not know what base line to play. Later I figured out and It all came together.
