My thirty day challenge

My challenge is to exersice everyday for just 1 hour and eat healthy. I wont eat junk food like chips or chocolate.
I am going to reach this goal by going outside and playing sports or just going for a run once a day and limit the amount of junk food I eat.
I chose this goal because I believe that its important to exersice and eat healthy for your personal health.

My 30 day challenge is to be less of a pessimist and be more positive. I will reach this goal by not using bad language such as "shut up" or "get lost".

My Thirty-Day Challenge

My thirty day challenge is too walk or run for an hour n half on the treadmill. The reason I want to do that challenge is because I do not run or walk enough (other than soccer on mon. and wed.) so to get more active. I would like to run on the treadmill for the thirty day challenge.

What we did:

Today in humantities ms Lees checked over our chapter 1 to 4 questions. some of us didnt have it done so those people had to work on it. Then we got into pairs and each of us critiqued each others questions.


Why we did this:

We did this because ms Lees wanted us to critique each others questions so each of us wouldnt make mistakes like starting with I think or grammer mistakes. Ms Lees wants us to be able to not make all these mistakes by the time we get farther ahead in the semester.


Connections and reflections:

These skills will help us in the futur because we will be able to respond questions without making any mistakes in our question anwsering. This will also help us because if you want to be a writer or anything to do with writing you need the skill of responding.


Homework:

You dont have to do chp 5 questions
look over your other questions because we are checking them on monday.

WHAT WE DID

On the first block of Humanities, we worked on our oral communication and conversation skills. We did this by going into groups of 3-4 to add and discuss to our There Will Be Wolves chapter 1 and 2 questions. To prevent us from adding on to everyone's answer, we each got 3 poker chips. Whenever we wanted to add on to someone's answer, we would have to use 1 poker chip. In the end, it was mandatory that we had to use all our chips. There were some problems with this such as wasting too much time on 1 question, arguing over who's right and who's wrong, spending our chips too fast, and going off topic. Other than these, it went really well. In fact, we did this so well that Ms. Lees gave us a whole block to work on our chapter questions for There Will Be Wolves chapters 3 and 4.

WHY WE DID IT

We discussed our answers to practice working in groups and to help us become better at working in groups. We got poker chips so it prevents us from talking forever. The reason we did all this is so we can do the same thing with further chapters in the book. The reason we worked on our chapter questions early is so we can have less homework and so we can finish our work for tomorrow.

REFLECTIONS/COMMENTS/CONNECTIONS

The group i worked in were off topic every question we talked about. It started off with a lot of arguing, then we got into "other topics". We even wasted all our chips on one question arguing so much. When we were working on our chapter 3 and 4 questions, most of us weren't even doing the questions. Instead we were tapping our pencils, talking about non task related stuff, hitting each other with badminton rackets, and other disturbing things. In my opinion, it should have been silent work time.
