My best experience in 7th grade was when I made ew friends here. That was my best experience in 7th grade because I met new people that were very nice to me. That was also my best experience because I got to know new people and not be shy with other people. Making new friends helped me be less shy and to be more into things. My friends right no are still nice to me and I thank those people for being my friends and being there when I need it. This was my best year in 7th grade.
      My worst experience was when we had to take tests the whole week. That was my worst experience because since I was barely learning how to be a seventh grader, I was stressing all the time. That was also my worst experience because I couldn't rest for a minute because I had to study to get a good grade on the tests. i was stressing out and I told my mom. She is my bestest friend and gave me good advice for this. Now I don't feel stressed because I got used to the tests and know that if I study and take my time, I will be able to succeed in whatever I want. These were my best and worse experiences.
 
There were good and bad effects in the Columbian Exchange. The good things were that the Columbian Exchange provided fruit and vegetables that the other people didn't have. For example, the people that had fruits, vegetables, and cacao traded with the people that didn't have any of that. The other people that had animals traded with the other people because the other people didn't have those things either. Other good things about the Columbian Exchange are that the other people learned knew foods from other people. Another good effect in the Columbian Exchange is that the people were happy because they got things that they never knew that existed.
       There were also bad effects in the Columbian Exchange. The bad things of the Columbian Exchange is that the people that brought the goods, but not just the goods. The people also brought diseases. the diseases that the people brought were knew to the other people that didn't know about the disease. So when the diseases came from the other side of the village, people got sick and some people died. Another bad effect on the Columbian Exchange is that people brought things and when there was not enough, the people would get mad and make an argument. These were the good and bad effects in the Columbian Exchange.
 
My favorite station at the zoo was the Sting Ray station. I really liked that one because I got to touch the sting rays and it was my first time. It was very fun and I got to experience how a sting ray feels like. I also liked the stingray station because I learned a lot about the sting rays that I didn't know about. I learned that the sting rays keep their eggs in a seaweed pouch and the egg is inside of it. I also learned that sting rays like to go underwater and are not harmless. It was my first time touching the sting rays because the other times I have gone to the zoo, I was scared of touching them because I thought the sting rays shot out stings when you touched them.
        Another station I liked was the monkey station. I liked that one because I like monkeys and because they are fun to watch. The monkeys are very active and are not boring like other animals are. I also liked the monkey station because they climb the vines and it is fun to see the monkeys swing and climb. When we went to the monkey station, one of the monkeys was going to the restroom in mid air! It was disgusting because it fell in the water. I learned that monkeys are like humans.
          Another station I liked was the reptile station. I liked that station because I like reptiles. I also liked the station because I learn a lot about snakes. I learned that some snakes are not 
 
The similarities for the fall of Incas and the fall Aztecs was that they both fell when the Spaniards came. The first thing the Spaniards did was to talk tot the leaders of the empire. Then the leaders of the Spaniards got accepted by the leaders of the empires. When  they came in they were all looking for gold and jewels the people had. When they found out that they did have gold and jews they attacked. That was one thing that was the same as the fall of the Aztecs
         Another similarity is that the Spaniards brought in diseases. Since the people of the empires never got sick and didn't know about those diseases many of th people died. So when the people died, the empires had less and less people to fight against the other tribes. The diseases that came from the Spaniards was chicken pox. Chicken pox was so bad that many people got the disease and got very sick. the disease was contagious and many people git it.
        Another simalirity for the fall of the Aztecs and the fall of the Incas is that the weapons the Spanards bought were new for the people of the empires. They didn't know about those weapons that amny people died.
 
I have two best memories in Computech. The first one is when we went to Boomers. That was my best memory because it was the first time I have heard of a school that takes us to Boomers if you have good grades. I also liked that memory because I got to hang out with my friends somewhere else instead of school. I also like that memory because it was fun seeing friends that go to my school somewhere else. I also liked going to Boomers because we got to play games without paying. We just got a card and played whatever we wanted. I also liked going to Boomers because it was nice of Mr. Ward to reward those students who work hard and give something they like. This was my best memory.
          My second best memory was when I came to this school the first time I was so nervous the first day of school that  didn't want to go to school. I was scared at the same time, but when I went to my first class I felt comfortable. After the day ended, i felt that I belonged in that school. At first I thought it was going to be complicated and I was going to get stressed everyday, But I was wrong. I really like Computech and I am glad that the teachers accepted me here. At first I thought it was going to be hard, but it wasn't because I worked very hard to get all A's in all quarters
 
        I think that the cause of Mayan civilization decline was warfare. I think that warfare caused the decline of the Mayan civilization because the cities in the Mayan civilization often had battles between each other. Other cities had battles between each other because many people were competitors and thought that they were better or vice versa. I also think that warfare made Mayan civilization collapse because since other cities had battles between them, the people that were battling wanted to get revenge and so they invaded the whole Mayan civilization.
        I also think that over-population made the Mayan civilization collapse because there were too many people and the food wasn't enough. Even though the Mayan civilization grew food, there were too many people and the food would not be enough for everyone. I also think that over-population made Mayan civilization collapse because if the people there grew more food, the ground would get mushy because of all the water it is put on it. If the ground can't work to make food, then the people would starve and many people would die. These were some ideas of my opinion of why the Mayan civilization collapsed.
 
It has been a long day since we couldn't find food. We were hunting and hunting but couldn't find anything. My people were starving and some kids were getting sick. I had little hope to find food. My family were hungry too. What would I do to save the people. " We found something!" I ran to see what it was and found a plant growing out of the ground. I touched it and there were little flowers growing on it. I wondered what it was, but couldn't think of what it was. 
           We stayed there for a few days and many of my people were dying of starvation. When I woke up, I checked on the plant and found that it was food. It was something that I have never seen before. Then I woke everyone up, and said, " I found food. We can stay here and grow more food." Everyone woke up and someone said, " we can't stay here. We have to move on so we can get more meat to eat. I don't think this plant will give us anything." I didn't know what to say, but something inside me said that we had to stay or we will all die. 
           The next day I convinced the man to stay and he said he would stay a few more weeks. I was relieved and then when we found more seeds we planted them. Food started to grow. So we spent the rest of our life here growing food.
 
My favorite book I have read the whole year was 13 Treasures. That book was my favorite because it was an action book and I like action books a lot. I also liked that book because the stairs went up and down like a rollercoaster. What I mean about that is that some parts were boring and other parts were very exciting. I also liked that book because there was this part that reminded me of something. It reminded me about the time when I read the same book, but it was different. 
       The book starts when a girl named Tanya is being picked on by mean fairies. After the fairies play pranks with her, Tanya's mom is very mad at her for making the big mess she made and so her mom decided to take her to her grandma's house. Tanya isn't happy about this, but she has to do it so the fairies won't find her. The odd thing about this story is that she can only see the fairies and other people can't. When she arrives at her grandma's she sees many fairies on the stairs, the couches, and other places as well. When the doorman takes her to her room, she likes it because it is lonely and she can do whatever she wants.
         This was all about the book I read.
 
The Scientific Revolution was the discoveries the other people discovered. For example, the five people who discovered things were Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, Nicolaus Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, and Johannes Kepler. They all made very good discoveries. Johannes Kepler made the discovery that the planets didn't orbit around the sun in a circle. Instead the planets orbited the sun around elliptical, which means in an oval shape. Galileo Galilei also discovered that the sun was in the center of the universe and that the planets orbited around the sun. Isaac Newton didn't discover anything, but he did prove that the sun was in the middle because of Galileo's work. He studied Galileo's work and proved that Aristotle was wrong that the Earth was in the center.
           The scientific Revolution was important to the people because it made them understand science more. At first, everyone thought that Earth was in the middle of the universe because God made Earth first and because Aristotle said. So after Galileo studied wrote the book, Isaac studied it more and proved it. Also people thought that when you let go of two different size balls. the heavier ball will touch the ground first. After Galileo proved it by going to the tower of Pizza, everyone started to question what Aristotle said.
 
The 5 theses I would do from school issues would  be to get better food. I also think that we should have two days with late start. We can choose Mondays and Thursdays for late start. I also think that we should have less homework and the teachers letting us do some homework in class. I also think that we should have field trips like in elementary. We should go to different places that relate with history, science, etc. I also think that we should have a little bit more time for break. We should have a little bit more time for break because students want to go to the restrooms, but the line is too long. After a few minutes the bell rings and half of the students didn't go to the restroom. These were the 5 theses for school issues.
      Martin Luther was a person who wrote the 95 theses. The paragraph on top relates to the 95 theses except this theses is for school issues. Martin Luther wrote things he didn't like from the church and what he wanted to do to make the church better. He posted the 95 theses on a church door and many people saw it and agreed to what was written. Popes and bishops found out and they got very mad. One of the things Martin Luther wrote was that people should not sell indulgences to other people. 
       After the pope heard about this he sent someone to go give him the letter of excommunication. When Martin Luther got it he burnt it. He was not supposed to do that, but he didn't like what he heard. Then Martin Luther left Wittenburg and on the way some people caught him. the people were nice, but Martin Luther didn't know that. The people took him to a castle so  he can hide from the people that wanted him dead.
