*Persuasive Writing: To begin writing persuasively, we learned how to effectively argue. We discussed different cases, such as wearing armbands to school and wearing band t-shirts to school.

Eventually, I chose my own topic in order to write a persuasive essay. My main argument was that the iPhone 5 is the best phone that is on the market. I had many details that helped to make the main argument more understandable.
*Blue Ribbon Ceremony: I chose someone that made a positive difference in my life. In preparation for the Blue Ribbon Ceremony, I decorated a blue ribbon, wrote a 6-word memoir about my guest, and constructed a paragraph describing why and how my guest impacted my life in a positive way. I got to present my guest with these artifacts at the Blue Ribbon Ceremony on Friday, November 16, 2012. My favorite part of this activity was being able to tell my guest that they do matter, and showing them that we appreciate what they do for us.

Entrepreneurship Group Project:
The business I chose for this project is Azzolina's. It is a small Italian restaurant in downtown Clear Lake. My group and I were able to interview the owner of the business on Friday, December 14, 2012. One of the most interesting things I learned from the interview was how the business was started. I am looking forward to creating this documentary and making it the best that it could be.
