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. I learned to voice my opinions. Eventually, I chose my own topic in order to write a persuasive essay. My main argument was about how Under Armor is the best outfitter.
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 how we got to show our appreciation to the guest.

Entrepreneurship Group Project
The business I choose for this project is Southwick Technologies. My group and I were able to interview Doug Southwick on Dec. 8th. One of the most interesting things I interview Doug Southwick on was how he started, how wide spread his business is, and the projects he sells. One of the most interesting things I learned from the interview was the products he sells. I am looking forward to learn more.
