Today was pretty busy. We focused a lot on our PBL. This morning I started out by working on Spanish. I have to to a collaboration with other students throughout the class, and we have to work on a debate. I had to decide which side my team would be taking (affirmative or negative) and I had to come up with strong opinion statements. I also worked on Geometry this morning. Right now I am learning about triangles and learning how to prove them using several different postulates and theorems. We are starting weak one  of our PBL cycle and I think that the cycle will be very affective help me stay more focused. We started with choosing our essential question for our project that we are going to be doing on the civil war. I am probably going to work in a group with Hunter, McKenzie, Mira, and Alex. We also are starting our literary analysis papers on our novels that we personally chose. ( As you know I chose Jane Eyre). We played heads up seven up during brain break which I could play! Kickball was fun to watch today and I have spent most of my afternoon working on Geometry. Music was really fun and we started working on a new song, "Back to December" by Taylor Swift!
