Technology: Electric car resurrection

The topic of electric car resurrections fall under the field of technology. This is a big deal because considering our economic and environmental troubles, the electric cars use less or no gasoline, and that saves money and the environment. In 2010, General motors and Nissan are attempting to create and release electric cars. One setback is that the car may fail, and disappoint many people lined up to buy these cars.

Entertainment - TV on the go.

The TV on the go section in the field of entertainment is about accessing TV with your cellphones, netbooks, or any mobile device for free. This is a big deal because now, you are able to watch any show on television no matter where you are. Usually, the only place you can access television is by a TV. This year, television broadcasters have spent thousands of dollars to install transmitters that allows free broadcasts to mobile devices. The one problem of this is that not all mobile devices will be able to receive this development. Only specially equipped mobile devices.

Time travelers essay

Project description:
In this assignment, we were asked to do research on a particular civilization and produce a three page essay on it. We followed a certain format.

Process:
First, we were assigned an ancient civilization and pillars. I was assigned Assyrian religion. I then researched about it. We received a handout showing the format we needed to follow for our essay. The drafting and revision process began.

Reflection:
I have learned so much from doing this assignment. Not only about Assyrian religion, but also how to strengthen my thesis. A good thesis consists of a concessive, according to my teacher. :)

Time travelers pillar

Project Description:
In this particular assignment, we were asked to choose a picture that best represented your civilization's pillar. Then, we had to paint the pillar.

Process:
After much research, I found a picture of the Assyrian God, Assur. I then drew out my design, and got it approved. Then, I began to paint my pillar.

Reflection:
I honestly believed I learned a few things, doing this assignment. Yet, I believe I did not use the Habit of Mind, ownership because I think I could've done much better and put for effort and detail into my painting.
