Project Nim assignment

We read a book with the title half brother and we also did power point presentations about certain topics that contribute to the book.  The book half brother was written by kenneth oppel. The purpose of the project was to teach Nim sign language in the end he new 40 quotations. Nim died in march 2000. There were many things that were the same and different in half brother and project nim. One of the things that were different is in real life the chimpanzee was named nim chimpsky and in half brother he was named zan. Also nim bit people more than zan and nim was more violent than zan and in the end nim went too a ranch in texas and zan stayed in a sanctuary  in nevada in the movie nim went to a sanctuary in oaklahoma. Nim also went to a biomedical lab and he came back out and zan and ben ran away but in project nim nothing like that happend and jennifer was not in project nim there were also a vareity of the characters from half brother in project nim such as peter and dr tomlin and helson. Nim and Zan also went to the scientests chimp study ranch. The move and novel both taught me that a chimp is more than an animal and animals can learn language.

Animal testing

I think animal testing is wrong because using animals to test potentintialy dangerous drugs is terrible. But if there were no medicine half of civilization would fall from disease cities would be empty. Lots of people would die if there was no medicine. But taking innocent animals from there homes and killing them wether or not the drug didnt kill them or what they were testing didnt kill them and they lived. If the animal survived the tests they should be relocated in the wild and let them live in the wild. If an animal went blind it should be taken care of at an animal rights college or at a vet of some sort. That is my thought on animal testing.

Midterm

Just last week we had midterm exams they were hard. I did good on my social studies and math. There were many distractions when i studied but i got around them such as a new xbox game i got called saints row 3 and minecraft and a game ive had for awile witch is left 4 dead 2.  For the weeks up to exams i studied hard. I didnt get the mark i wanted on my  ELA and science but theres always finals. I learned alot about egyptian history and im learning about rome. Social studies is my favorite subject. We are currently reading the book Half brother. We had done many collabertave porjects with the kids in ontario. We have a hockey war between winnipeg and toronto. I have nothing against theses 2 citys i think both of them are equally nice.

We learned about optics in science im not very good at remembering stuff like that.  That could be the reason i didnt get good on the science exam. When i was done my exams i went home and studied then i played games. The midterms only counted for 10 percent of our grade but it was still lots. That was what happend in midterms.

What i learned from the presentation.

I have learned many things from doing the presentation with then people in wingham. I learned that working in groups is fun. I learned that if you are off topic at the start. you can quickly get back on topic and do a good job. It may take a while to get the job done. I learned that it is best to use pictures that have a cc licence.  I learned not to plagerize. I learned not to delete peoples work without hearing other peoples opinions. I learned to listen to other peoples opinions. I learned how bad it was to plagerize. It was  very easy to start on  the presentation. once we got the hang of it we went on pretty fast.  I learned how bad poaching was. I learned that  the main animals people poached were zebras, rinos, elephants,  tigers, koalas, panadas,etc. I really dont have much  to say now. I guess this is it Bye!

 

 

 

 

 

 

working with the kids in wingham

The task was to make a google presentation about poaching. We are doing this for the novel thats being turned into a movie callled ha7942534-half-brotherlf brother. We first did a google doc were we put information. We chatted over the doc. We then put our information on a presentation doc. Then google presentations updated so there would be a chat box. That was sorta bad but it was good also. Sometimes i could not edit because i didnt have my won laptop.

The things we used were google docs. Witch is were we stored our information.  The other thing we used was google presentations. Witch is were we put all our information and pictures into the finished draft. We used google and firefox to search

For information. We used flickr to get pictures. We used advanced search to get cc liecences on our pictures. We of course used laptops. I was useing a dell sadly:(.   I used my computor witch is a lenovo g550. Thats about it what we used. I dont know what the wingham kids used.

We got along very good on this project. We agreed on eveything. We helped each other out . We didnt have any trouble.

They understood when i couldnt edit the presentation. They never did anything we didnt  want them to do. In other words working with them was really awsome.

The presentation was a little on the hard side. We had to start a new one  when google presentations updated so it would be more convienet.  So we wont have to look at the chat box in the doc every few seconds.  I couldnt edit with the Dell i was useing.  When i had my laptop it was very easy. We had the presentation done very fast. I hope to work with them again.
