Today in class we did Annotative Bibliography. Using this can help when analyzing a text. We were introduced to this and got to practice it. This method is easy and an efficient way to analyze the text.

We went over composing and stating claims. We was given a passage and was given instructions to make up 5 claims. We had to use the sources given and also pull evidence from the sources. The sources were helpful. One thing the sources do is persuade you. If more of the sources are leaning towards a certain position then it would be easier to go to that position and create claims for that position. In the end it is getting easier and is a way to prepare us for the ACT.

Today we continued the presentations on the different countries culture. We had China, and Ghana. Although with the news today centered around China they still find ways to celebrate their cultures and traditions. Ghanaian people also have big celebrations. They are centered around living off the land and using natural resources. They are creative people and can turn a plastic bottle or bowl into a nice necklace.

I was not in class today due to ACT Prep. Although I missed this class the prep class was really interesting. We discussed tactics to help us better our score in the math portion of the ACT. We did many practice problems and got to work in groups. I do know that we will present tomorrow so I will like to see how that goes.

We continued our research in our project. We were split into groups by our country’s continents. I was placed in Africa since my country was Egypt. We had to research 6 customs about our country. We also had to choose one that was interesting to us. I found that flowers were only brought to weddings and sick people. You weren’t supposed to no ring anyone flowers for any other occasion. That was interesting because here in the United States flowers are usually a staple for everything.

We were assigned a project on the different cultures. We selected different countries and that was the culture we are assigned. At first I wanted to get an easy country but now I have done some research and I’m happy with my country. I randomly selected Egypt and I knew not that much about the culture there. This project will expand my knowledge and help me learn and experience the other cultures. We also learned about the 7 things that make up a culture. Although I can not list them now I do know that these 7 things are essential to keep a  culture alive.
