First Nations Presentation

I enjoyed the First Nations Presentation. It was fun yet an educational presentation. I liked that we got to get up and interact with our classmates and play a bingo thing. He talked about the importance of school and learning. He made the class fun by allowing us to get up and interact with others. He was a very fun and educational presenter.

Our Presentation

I think our presentation went very well. I believe that we had everyone's attention, and people learned from our presentation. We weren't boring while we were up there. We made the presentation somewhat interesting. I learned that when you have to present something it doesn't have to be boring. You can make it fun like making Xtranormal videos or creating a Prezi. The process of creating the presentation was frustrating. It was difficult trying to do the entire thing by myself, as well as it was hard trying to figure out how to use the prezi. I had to google how to use a prezi. I think we had the best presentation because it was entertaining and we had good information to present to the class.

Geological Time

I found the geological time portion of this class very interesting. I thought it was cool to use the barcode scanning thing on the iPad for the timeline assignment. It helped me understand the development of the earth, and how long it took for everything to be on this earth. I liked watching the YouTube videos because it wasn't boring and I learned from it. I think we learned about the history of geological time so that we can have a better understanding of the world around us today, and how everything came to be.

Pope Benedict resigned because of health issues.

Does God Exist?

I believe in God. I went to a catholic elementary school, and was brought up as a catholic. I don't attend church regularly, but I do attend on holidays like Christmas and Easter. I believe in the bible and all the Christians stories about God and Jesus. I also believe that God is the only god and creator of the earth. Some times I question why God lets bad things happen to good people, but I believe that everything happens for a reason and that God has a plan for all of us.

First Impression of Social Studies

My first impression of social studies was that it was going to be a hard class. I have never really enjoyed social studies. In previous years I got good grades in the class, but I didn't understand anything I did in the class. All we did in the class was take a lot of notes, and mostly study First Nations culture. I had absolutely no interest in it at all. I already like this years social studies class a lot more because we get to use technology. What I want to learn most about in this class is about the world like geography and about population and world facts because I find that interesting.
