Submarine SMASH Day Reflection

Summarize:
For SMASH day, we tried to make a periscope, the thing submarines use to see above water. We had to see what was inside a box that was on a table, keeping our heads under the table. We were given a cardboard box, 10 pieces of paper (that our group didn't use), 1 meter of tape, and 2 pairs of scissors.

Reflect:
We modified our design only once, first we did a simple way, and then we consolidated our periscope. We knew that we should modify it because usually, the first way isn't the best. We knew what to modify, because we were trying every time we changed a little thing. Everyone gave ideas of how to change it. For example, someone might say that we need to make a part stronger, the other might say where we should put the mirrors, etc...

Tips and Suggestions:
First, do something very simple where you can kind of see what is in the box.
Then, improve it.

What do you think the moral to The Old Man and the Sea is?

The moral to this story is: The fight between human and nature. How sometimes human win, sometimes nature wins.

Peter's Presentation

I didn't know about religions and wasn't interested in it, but Peter's presentation was fantastic, and interesting. I couldn't remember much because I didn't know anything before. The thing I could remember the best was the chart of how many percent of people were from each religion. I could remember some of this because I really love math, so I remember pretty well what deals with numbers. I discovered that about: 33% were Christians, 20% were Islamic, 20% nonreligious, 10% Hindu, 6% Buddhist, and only 1% were Jews. I thought much more people were Jews. I forgot some religions but those are the main ones. And that there were three main monotheistic religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam. So this what I really remembered. And sorry Peter for not being able to remember more.

Nadal Number One

Nadal, the Spanish tennis player, is the first Spanish man to win the Australian Open. The number one, winner of the French Open, Wimbledon, and the Olympic Games 2008, and now winner of the Australian Open, beat Federer in a wonderful final. The score was 7-5 3-6 7-6 3-6 6-2. It was one of the most beautiful games in the history of tennis. Every point was on the lines, and the two ran like crazy. Now everyone, remember this name: Rafael Nadal.

Hit the Jackpot

If I won £10,000,000 in the lottery, I would give half of it to the Red Cross, because it is the only one I know, so I guess it is the best.

Write about your luckiest moment

The luckiest moment in my life was when I was born, but I can't talk about it.
The luckiest moment that I can talk about is when I found my best friends in Spain. I started playing with them when I was seven, and I still play with them.
But I am not a lucky person.

Effective Communicator

I think Patrick Chen, my friend from G7, is an effective communicator. For me, he is an effective communicator because he speaks loudly and clearly, he looks at people, he answers a lot of questions, and he doesn't stress when he has to talk.
