Today, we continued to work on our projects. Miel edited all the videos together so far and we finished our paper. Everyone is working really hard. Since our video is already pretty long, I'm going to briefly explain what I will bake and then put pictures. We decided to put the links in a google slide and present it that way so that everything is easily accessible.

Today, Mr. Schick got a laser pointer. He was so excited about it that he would not stay on one slide for more than 5 seconds. Eventually, he calmed down and we were able to take some notes.

We watched more of the video today. Some of the answers to the questions we were asking were answered. The answers were too simple.

Zebras would be ideal, but since they are constantly in a predatory environment, they are violent and skittish. They have a mean streak that would be very difficult to tame.

I voted computers because I would much rather type my textbook answers somewhere than write them down. I hate the length of small notebook paper and I would rather type them. The vote was 11 to 10 so it was very close. 1st half of class 1.
