Outlier Activity

What was the main idea of the chapter? What supporting details were given? What other ideas were offered? Is this fact or opinion or both? How do you know? 


The main idea of the chapter is about people dying of heart disease. The rate of death of Roseto was compared to the U.S. and it was half. 


The supporting details that were given were the people's medical history and they showed that people of Roseto mostly just died of old age.


Other ideas that were offered is that Wolf is an outlier. 


This is a fact because people in the U.S. don't eat healthy and they don't usually die from old age. They die from heart attacks and diseases. 


I know because Americans have the largest obesity rate in the world.

I think this book is about the story of success of famous people around the world. It probably tells their story of how they worked their way up to now and how they succeeded while others failed. The inquiry projects that the book is focused on is to be successful. We are focusing on deepening our understanding of the psychological success because we would like to be successful like them too one day. And we will start by reading long boring book.

Essential Reflection Questions

I don't know which subject we are talking about ( subjects in innovative technology ) but I guess I'm most nervous about science. We have been learning vocabularies and they just keep on piling up. We also had to learn the functions of the what the parts in leaves did. Then we have a test next week on what we learnt and after that there's a project. The pressure just keeps on building.

I think my passions and skills will help me accomplish my dream jobs goals because I like to do things that only interest me. I don't like doing things that I get irritated with. For example I wanted to become an engineer, but instead I had to become a bus driver, or a janitor. I would really hate cleaning after the bus and washrooms.  And if I didn't have the skills to become what I wanted, then I would do my best to gain that skill

I think I will be accomplishing my dream job by working really hard at school for now, After I graduate, I plan to head to a university or college that would help me accomplish my dream job. As of now, I don't know what I want to be, but I am getting started and am thinking really hard about it. That's why I'm trying to get as much education as I can, before I graduate, so doors are open to me when I leave high school.

I do feel like I have plan to work with. Stick to school for now and try too score really high. Also, try not to get kicked or dropped from any honours classes or I would have to take longer to graduate from university. And anything that I don't understand, I must review it over a hundred times if I have to make sure that I understand it fully.

I do feel like I need different classes because I want to graduate from school as soon as I can. So for the first semester, I would want all my main cores classes which are math, science, english and social. And for the second semester, I would want chemistry-20, physics-20, biology-20 and phys-ed. Then for next year, I would have chemistry-30, physics-30, biology-30, english 20-1, and for the second semester I would like social 20-1, phy-ed 20, and if possible social and english 30-1 or honours, so that in total I would have 80 credits for the first two years and I just need to pick 4 comp classes and stay for half of the grade 12 semester and come back when it's time to graduate.

In my opinion, the definition of bullying to me is when some one is being picked on. Like say a kid is picking his nose ( which is disgusting) and people are laughing at him and saying things about him. Bullying is as simple as looking at some one and thinking badly of them. The difference between bullying and being angry is that bullying is making fun of someone intentionally and being angry at some one is that you hate them for what they did.

Conference Response

I learned that people are now planning to use textbooks online. This is a great idea for the students and would benefit them greatly. Students must pay for an entrance fee to their post secondary and then they must pay again for their textbooks for their courses. Some families may have financial issues and may not be able to pay the fee, however, by putting the information online in an era where technologies are used the most is an excellent idea. They can get can all the information they need without paying for it. But will this affect universities and colleges around the world? In my opinion, no it will not and this is a great opportunity for helping students with their post secondary. I also think that it is boring listening to a professor talk and explain the details. However, there are some people who learn differently and may want to learn their information from the professors. Some students will only understand it, if there is some one explaining it to them and talking them through it. It would be best to test it out first with a group of students and then if it is successful it should be used in universities around the world.

Conference Discussion

This conference is about helping students in our schools eat better and how we can help them learn better. I haven't heard about some of these topics such as how students are willing to farm food and then eat and serve it. This is new to me and I thought it was quite interesting. But there will be issues involving this. Like schools will have to find an area to farm and where will they farm when it snows. Also some students bring their own food at lunch while others buys theirs at the cafeteria or at a near by local food store. Students will have to adapt and change the way they start eating. For this to be possible, the school will either have to buy the students food to eat at lunch or have the students pay a certain amount for what they farm and it will be their responsibility to look after their food. Some questions that may arises will be: Will the food be organic? How much will it cost to farm the student's food? Can all schools  afford the time and money to do this project? However, I believe it is best if we ask students themselves if they would agree to this idea instead of just going ahead with the plan.

No, I didn't find any CTS activities when I was doing my alphabet soup activity. However, I did like an option that I have been waiting for. It doesn't really suit my personality or learning style. I just like it because it's fun. The option is phys-ed. I only like it because I don't have to do any thinking work. The only work that is required is your physical ability. I would have to have it in all my semester, so I have a time to relax or to relieve all my stress that the other school works adds on me.

My book on utube

Underwater Hotel restaurant

It reminds me of me swimming at a pool a couple of years back. I was under the water and I opened my eyes. It was hard to see and it stung for a bit when I resurfaced, but it kinda looked like the image.

Why are there marine life near the glass? If a large animal like a whale or shark were to come by, wouldn't they break it?

The glass shows a reflection, but you can also see though it. The chairs are all black, with a long back rest. The floors are wooden hardware which looks connected by stripes of wood. At each table there are enough plates, cups, forks, spoons and knives for two. Light from the surface shines through the top and fishes encircle around at the top of the semi-circled tube. The door has been decorated as the bottom of the ocean.

This looks like the imagination of someone who wanted to eat underwater.
