I thought the field trip was very informative and interesting. I learned a lot about the installation of the wind turbine . Alot of the questions I had was answered for instance, how tall would it look? And what hold the tower up? And lastly how long does it take to install ? My favorite part of the field trip was when we went to the "headquarters" of the science place . Because I got to see all the diffrent wind instrument and anemometers. We also learned that it is possible for us to have one, and all the reason it was turned down was really not a factor. Overall it was a great trip. I like the Italian place we ate at

Modern lit Sex Trafficking
Sex Trafficking is inhumane and sadly, it something many people face everyday. we all know about sex trafficking we know it's horrible and itsdegrating, but we don't really think about how many people all over the world are effected by this sick trend that has vastly spread. It's happening all around us babies children teenager adults all are a victims of it. No child or adult should ever have to face something so awfull, as a human being we should all feel sympathy towards them . I found that the TED talk on sex trafficking was very informative, it was almost like you were going through the struggles with them .it made me realize how little i knew about trafficking, and I felt compelled to some how help and anyway I could, even if that meant telling someone the story. The artilces on the topic we read all show a different form of sex trafficking , rather it by choice, or your sold or forced. These artilcles and TED talks all are so informing , and they all have touched me in some way.

Wrap wind for schools
Dear city council.
Our IAL clas has put all of our handwork,energy and dedication into this wind for school project. We have learn to research, and to take matters into our own hands. This project has strengthen us as a class and as individuals. Our class has set our eyes on a goal that we've been striving to achieve for months now. We have been working to install a wind mill which would provide us with research and hopefully an answer to a new and more efficient energy source.Waynesboro city has declined our temporary tower because it didnt meet the "city codes". The declining of the wind mill is only a bump in the road, we will continue to push for the installation of the anemometer. We truly believe that this is the right direction not only for waynesboro but for the entire country. Resources are become limited, we need to educate ourselves about the natural resources such as wind and solar power. We can't and will not wait , the waynesboro codes are whats preventing us from moving forward. Our generation is changing, we are becoming more educated, and more enovated. Therefore we need to find a way to either change the codes which would than aply to our project.

my book is Intensity by deen koontz.
The theme of my book is that we do have controll over our fates, and that often we choose rather or not we will be the victims, the main charcter china first learns this as a child when she protects herself and hids from her mothers violent friends, for the song i picked Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift because i think its a direct connection to my book because it talks about how everything will be okay and being safe, and throughout the whole book china tries and protects everyone since she has experience and exposure to these types of situations.
for my instrumental i picked dark suspense music, because it sounded very suspensfull and scary and in the book there is a serial killer who kills her friend and their family . the whole book is very scary, so the music really put me in the mind set of intensity.
For the song of choice i picked Fighter by christina aguliera because i think it explains china very well. the song talks about how what shes been through made her stronger. and everything chyna has been through led her to save someones life.
my protagonist is chyna shepard she had a crazy mother who traumatized her, and she learned her basic survival skills when she was very young . she bacame aware of everything, and she is afraid to trust people. so i picked the song backwards by christina perri i think this explains chyna really well.
the climax of my book is where chyna finds ariel and saves her , she had been kidnapped by vess for a year . so i picked save me by nicki minaj because it talks about someone giving up and saving someone .

WRAP guest speaker #1
I thought the talk was very interesting. I learned a lot about the south river. Before this talk I never knew that are trout were in danger, or that people come to waynesboro to see out trout and fish. I learned the temp. Of the water has to be a certain way in order for trout to survive in the water. I learned the things that are healthy and unhealthy for our river. The talk was very detailed, it opens my mind to a lot of new things that I never knew. I am very gratefull he came in to talk to us.

WRAP Go Green
I would love to go green. Here are a few ideas and steps I've researched about going green.
-picking up trash on the road sides
- buying natural cleaning products.(better for the environment.)
- installing solar panels
- recycling
-unplug all appliances when not in use. (saves energy)
These are just some ideas Our class could use to Go Green. They are simple, easy and they make a big difference in our environment.

Wrap invention
If I could invent anything it would be a halagraphic cellphone. I think that would be really cool because you could actually see that person as you were talking to them. They have already invented a hologram but not yet a halagraphic cellphone they have been trying to and it's in the works now . But yeah I think that would be really usefull.
Math Sports and games.
Math sports and games is a challenging class for me, simply becausei don't know much about sports. I like that everything we learn in this class is relatable to real life stuff. Mr. Tyler is hilarious, so he makes the class pretty fun. I just find it a little difficult . One thing I don't like about this class is we always use the computers (not iPads) and the stuff we do on the computer is really confusing and I don't like it at all.. But oh we'll what can i do. One thing I really enjoy about this class is probably when we play games, those are pretty chill and fun. .but I think we learn more about sports than games. I don't like my grade in here either.. It's like if I miss one thing I automatically have an F on it. But yeah that's that. Overall it's a..um challenging class.

Response to article
We need more engagement in the middle east, not less
By: KeithEllison.
"We should judge the new governments by their actions, not their religious affiliation."
I agree with this stament because every one is not going to have the same religion and you can't really judge someone by strictly their religion in this matter. But by what they do and say and how they treat others, is how they should be appropriately judged. So yes I do agree with this .

10 smartphone habits you should avoid
"The secret of a full life is to live and relate to others as if they might not be there tomorrow, as if you might not be there tomorrow. ... This thought has made me more and more attentive to all encounters, meetings, introductions, which might contain the seed of depth that might be carelessly overlooked. By ehrilch
I think this quote is extremely good to know because it is important that you live your life fully and to the highest extent. This quote basically tells you to enjoy others around you and spend as much time with your family and friends because the might not be here tomorrow . I love this quote and I agree with his quote because it tells you to never take life for granted.

Wrap
I think we can't really do anything too expensive, because we don't have a lot of money so I tried to keep it simple.so we can go pick up trash on the side of the road . And we can use water soluble cleaning products. And we can use natural alternitaves for chemicals. My questions are why do we need to do something about pollution? And which is worse air or water pollution ? And who is going to clean up the roads " ? The websites are. Www.gogreen.com , www.Gogreen.gov , and www.Gogreeninitative.com.

books i want to read
1.The Living Dead Girl. 2.Intensity by: Dean Koontz 3. 50 shades of gray 4. Stolen by. Lucy Christopher 5. lessons from a dead girl by: jo knowles
I'm reading The Hunger games, the reason why i wanted to read this book is because i recently watched the movie and loved it. as i was reading i found that i didn't really want to read it because i had seen the movie, but a lot of people said the book was even better. So far i like it a lot its t more detailed than the movie. i Think whoever created the Hunger Games relates to the video on psychology of evil.
