Blog #1

Part 1
I am most looking forward to the play, it is really the kind of project that I like to do. I don't like the projects that just end once they are done, I like the ones that will be talked about as that amazing project. Also I enjoy the projects that have an influence outside of school and exhibition, the play is a great example of that. It is going to be preformed in front of people that will enjoy it and see how much work we have put into it.
Part 2
Summer reading was an interesting experience for me, seeing as how I never really read books over the summer time. Also it was really interesting reading Genome opened my mind to biology something that I didn't have much background in that subject. Also reading animal farm was an interesting way of learning about the russian revolution. After reading it i actually did some research about it.

Summer Reading

Genome by Matt Ridley
Recommended by - Summer Clemmons



"I want to go into stem cell research when I grow up and Genome really helped develop ideas and thoughts in my mind when I was in Biology." - Summer

"Genome really opened my eyes to the word of biology that I was relatively closed out of. I enjoyed reading it almost simply for that reason, I was learning enough about life that it really kept me interested.-Leo





Animal Farm by George Orwell
Recommended by - Andrea Loomis



"George Orwell is an astounding writer, that's why I recommended this book to you, he finds the most interesting way to tell you about government or whatever he is trying to get across. Animal Farm is criticizing Josef Stalin but you never feel like your learning about history your always entwined in the story." -Andrea

"I enjoyed reading both 1984 and Animal Farm especially Animal Farm because I like history and learning about it but George Orwell makes it so much more interesting. He makes it so you have to interpret some of it yourself." -Leo
