Report Card

A) Assignments- 33% - How many of the assignments were completed? (actually count) How much effort did you put into the assignments? Did you begin to work harder or did your effort decrease? Why? How do you feel about your writing? What do you do well? What needs work? What did you learn from doing the assignments? (Then use links, pictures, or videos to prove everything you have just said.) What goals do you have for future assignments? 
B) Comments- 33% - How many total comments have you made this year? (50 comments or more is doing well... actually count) Whose blogs did you comment on? What kind of things did you write? How may times did you respond to the comments on your own blog? How many improvements on your blog did you make because of comments? What have you learned about being part of a learning community rather than an isolated individual learner? How would you assess your participation in the "social" part of our constructivist class structure? (provide proof) What goals do you have for your Sullivan community and classes next year? 
C) Self Regulation - 33% - How well did you control your own behaviour and learning this semester? How many classes did you miss? How well did you stay on task while here? How did you take responsibility for missed classes? How many times did your behaviour affect others in a positive way? How many times were you a negative influence on others? How has your own self regulation affected the success of the class as a whole? What have you learned about yourself this semester? What goals do you have about changing yourself? (provide evidence where possible)
D) Genius Hour - 0% - While NOT for marks I think Genius Hour is worth some reflection. What topic did you choose and why? How did you plan your learning? How did you plan your teaching? How effective were you with time given each week? How was your presentation received by your peers? What did you learn from the comments? What have you learned about your own perspective about the responsibility of learning because of the Genius Hour? Why do you come to school or bother learning anything?



Im not the best at grammar or punctuation so I'm going to be explain why i deserve the mark I give myself by linking my work and using a note style of doing This


-All assighnments were completed 75 percent to my fullest ability.
-Over the course of the semester i feel like my quility of work decreased 
-My overall writing did not increase or decrease its about the same but my ability to come up with things off the top of my head increased
-I learned that i actrolly have to care about what i'm doing in order to do a good job and to care about what I'm doing.

-I have a total of 41 comments, I commented on everyones blog atleast once.
-My comments were pretty good i would usually do a 1 like 1 dislike and  1 improvement style comment
-I would look at my comments on my work and usually change what people told me to, but at the same time sometimes i didn't like what people were telling me what to do and i wouldnt change anything.
-I have learned that if we all help each other succeed in ways we need help with the classroom community would be much better.
-I feel like i have been a huge part in this class rooms social aspect i would help people that would need help and i would always be commenting on peoples work so they could do better in the class room.
-I had a really good comment on allans blog with links to information on wikipedia and other things but he deleted it for some reason  -,-

- My self regulation in  class was avarage i missed a few classes, id slack of or get off task in class, but when i was here and ready to learn i was like a beast, i do great work help people and want to learn all at the dame time. but when i was off task i made sure i wouldn't distract other i would usually just play games on the computer and be quite.

-For my geinous how i chose the history of lacrosse, i planned out my learning by getting all my info and learning it. i then put it into a powerpoint and script so i could teach it affectively. but on presentation day i forgo my script and had to wing it with the information i had remembered. I feel like the overall presenntion went well for the situation i was in and the questions that were asked from the class would of been easier if i had my script but i still feel like i did good.

From the information i gave above i feel like i deserve a 86% final grade. because of my effort attendence overall quility and work and my comments to people in or class room.

What this class is to me

When i first started com i went into it thinking it was a joke, and a easy A but when i started the class, and saw the amounts of freedom the individuals in this class recieved (even the ones who don't deserve it) i started to take it seriously and to actrolly try, show up and do my work in class to my fullest of ability. I have learned how to WANT to come to class over, just having to show up. this class has taught me alot over these months. and not just things about English.

school-Rwanda

I am relating the subject of Rwanda to sullivan by the groups/cliques. In my school there isn't many fights the amount of so called fights here are just like 10 people rolling up on one person because they are to scared to 1 v 1 the person. Kindof like the genicide with 5 people with machetes rolling up a defenceless child. some good things about sullivan is that for the most part we all get along or keep to our selves. The staff of the school are like the UN they keep the peace in the school but cant deal with,outside matter's.

-People tell us someone slept with someone else enough and we will beleave it



Wake Up Shower-Keep myself 
Get dressed in my t-shirt and shorts-Comfy over fasion

MOVIE REVEIW BY THE SWAGLICOUS CODY

when i watched White chicks I thought it was really funny!. So first of all I would for sure recommend this movie because if you are wanting to see a harlarious movie this is probably the movie! I would have to say this is a valgure comedy but if you old enough you will understand the jokes. This movie is trying to make the audiance laugh threw the entire movie and somtimes it dosent work out to well, it kindof seems like there trying to hard.  The lighting and music creates a funn atmosphere to the movie. The camera positioning in this movie was nothing special it was all pretty staright foward no zoom ext which i found was a down side to this movie. The dressing in this movie was just perfect it made the movie, it was also a main oart in the movie (the 2 black under cover and white chicks.)  I thought the acting was great and the 2 main actors showed they had great chemestry. overall iu would give this movie a 8/10 on the semi truck scale

Shortstory

A boy named Timmy

A Poem by Mr. Cody H REID "ELITEDRAGONSLAYER69" 

the word trust left my vocabulary
No one left to trust
Will i even survive another day
it's me against the world

The hunt is on 
Hunted like animals
Treated like them as well
The hunt is on

Always running 
always hiding
always alone



Hi my names johny everyday i walk in the big blue doors of my highschool in oaklahoma city, and all i see is me walking threw vacant hallways and deserted class rooms. but in reality the school is full of kids and classes, but im known as that quite kid or the weird kid. It all started 2 years ago when my mom and dad split up and i had to move across the country away from my friends and family members so i could live with my dad in this shit hole, My dad dosent have the best of job's or make fat stacks half the time my dad;s house dosent even have food in it. okay fast foward...were back in present time. my daily squdule consists of going to school sitting in class and then going home, i dont talk to anyone i have 0 friends and i sit in the bathroom stall to eat my lunch. im a ghost in my school , no one even knows my name. I wish i could just go home back to venice beach were my friends are. 


the next morning i decided that what i was going to do, i gathered up some of my saving's from working part time over at the hair parlor and bought a plane ticket BACK to venice beach. i left my dad a note on the counter with 2 words, "going home" when i arrived at venice so many questions started flowing threw my head. what now? were am i even going to go? I started by heading over to johny's my cousins and my best friend's he would let me crash there a couple weeks until i can figure things out.


In those few weeks  started going back to my old school and seeing my old friends and i loved it and i was never ever going to move away again, i wasnt a ghost here i was me. my dad had gotten ahold of johny's parents and he was okay with me staying with them. he said he was going to get a promotion soon and he would e able to transfer back down here and we could start or lives again together. were we belong.

Best Project Known to matter #2yolo'sand1swag

This is the song im choseing use the lyrics is the song famillular faces represents how even though the tusis and hutus looked the same you they still hated one another, and you would never know who you could trust. you feel alone adn there is no one that can help you and that your just waiting to die. alot of people just gave up because they thought there was no hope, and alot of other just took there own lives so they wouldnt feel the pain of someone taking theres

HOTEL RAWANDA

Belgum told the Hutu's that they were better tutsis so the hutu's started treating the tutsis like shit when the Hutu;s finally had enough a man told them theat the hutu's that the tutsis that they deserveed to die, he then start bought a  bunch of cheap machetes and handed them out to all the tutsis and the slaughter began






"Hutu Power asserted that the Tutsi intended to enslave the Hutu and must be resisted at all costs. Continuing ethnic strife resulted in the rebels' displacing large numbers of Hutu in the north, plus periodic localized Hutu killings of Tutsi in the south.''  Wikipedia Rwandan Genocide



My Opinion 

In my opinion i still cant see how people get to the point were they hate someone so much that they are willing the wipe out the entire race from the planet, like i have been bad at lets call them *surrey jack's* because they tend to make fun of people but there are also other out there that are really nice and caring you cant just decide to wipe out a race because they treated you badly because honestly only about 5% of them actrolly said anything disrespectful to you. committing mass genocide and slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people is not the answer EVER.

Part 1:
You can be crying if your happy and or if you are sad
They are affective because because tears really bring out emotions in somone
We have been taught that showing fear is showing that you are weak so people tend to hide this emotion alot more then usual
When you see a good actor cry or showing no fear it impacts you alot.

POEM SWAGGERYOLO4JESUS420BLAZEING

i connected to the poem by the title of it it, be the change you wish to see i connected to this becasue i feel it represents me in many ways, including bullying which is somthing i wont stand for, from the age of about 5-14 i was bullied pretty much everyday i had a total of about 1 friend and of the school just though i was some weird kid who they shouldnt hang around with because i would ruin there image/popularity. i was beat up outcasted and ignored most of my life. and some points i didnt know if i could keep on liveing my life, but i did. other arnt so lucky there are thousands of kids who kill them selves over bullying and i want to lower these i want to change this!



I choose this song for part to because it shows how some people may be very depressed and no one will even notice until its too late, weather it bullying a bad home or drug abuse people may have issues that they dont want to talk about until they are driven to suicide, people need to be the change and notice when someone isnt in the tiht place of mind and ask them what's wrong.

Person vs Persona

in the movie gladiato maximus if seen as a brutal gladiator that was  born the kill and slauter anyone that got in hs way, but in reality he is a family man who loves his family a general of a roman army who was betraid by the empires son, maximus was taken as a slave and forced to fight, and in order for maximus to survive he was forced to kill  the men that stood is his way in the collisiam maximus was to fight his way threw the colliam in order to fight and kill the very man that betraid him and murdered his family. maximus was just seen as a brutal gladiater who slaughterd men when in reality he was just trying to revenge his family. 

another exsample of this could be mac miller, he is seen as a pot smokeing rebelous no future rapper, but in reality he is a kind successful man who is quite bright, he ahs a girl friend that he supports and loves. he is well spoken and a very nice guy to interveiw, its terrible to see how badly people are judged. it happens all the time in high school when people judge the jocks geeks and weirdos. i walk through the alls and u see the same kindof people hanging out with the same kindof peoplethere is no mixed up groups he cool kids hang out with the cool kids the geeks hand with the geeks, it just the way the brain works and i think its terrible.

I think that we all need to get to really get to know someone on the inside befor we judge them or catoragize people. if you see someone covered in tatoos hanging around newton exchange, dont just assume that they are some puke who spends all his moneys drugs. because in reality he could just be a guy who got tatoos as a kid and now that he is grown up he may have 4 kids and the reason he looks all shady is becasue he is out of a job and has kids he is trying to support his kids.

i come off as a quite kid hat keeps to himself, but on ce you get to know me im loud and always trying t omake people laihgt, somtimes i make my self look like idiot but thats just my personality. i like sports and i like to contantly excerise, but at the same time i like to be lazy eat junk food and play LOL. so im a pretty oposite kindof guy but most people wouldnt think that when they first meet me.

not everyone witha  mohawk is a rebelious theif, and not everyone with tatoo's is a gangster, and not everyone with a suit is a sucessful buisness man. its time to stop judgeing people and its time to get to know people fo who they really are.

Song about me

I wont take all that they hand me down,
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown,
And I wont take it all lying down,
Cause once I get started I go to town.

Cause Im not like everybody else,
Im not like everybody else,
Im not like everybody else,
Im not like everybody else.

And I don't want to ball about like everybody else,
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else,
And I wont say that I feel fine like everybody else,
Cause Im not like everybody else,
Im not like everybody else.

But darling, you know that I love you true,
Do anything that you want me to,
Confess all my sins like you want me to,
There's one thing that I will say to you,
Im not like everybody else,
Im not like everybody else.

Im not like everybody else,
Im not like everybody else
And I don't want to ball about like everybody else,
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else,
And I wont say that I feel fine like everybody else,
Cause Im not like everybody else,
Im not like everybody else.

Like everybody else,
Like everybody else,
Like everybody else,
Like everybody else.

If you all want me to settle down,
Slow up and stop all my running round,
Do everything like you want me to,
There's one thing that I will say to you,
Im not like everybody else,
Im not like everybody else.

Im not like everybody else,
Im not like everybody else.
And I don't want to ball about like everybody else,
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else,
And I wont say that I feel fine like everybody else,
Cause Im not like everybody else,
Im not like everybody else.

Like everybody else (like everybody else),
Like everybody else (like everybody else),
Like everybody else (like everybody else),
Like everybody else.


This song represents me because i feel like i am different from everyone else and i'm hard to understand I think i could say i have a very different personality then most people, which resulted in me haveing some hard times at old schools with bullying ext, i didn't have very many friends and i basicly just kept to my self day after day. but than i decided to move school's and i have made many friends who are pretty much just like me and they get what i went threw in my life. i can safely say i am very fortenate to have the great friends that i have today. school has gotten ALOT easier for me since i moved, for exsample my grades my personality and attitude  to  basicly everything. i perform better in sports and i'm just Generaly happy all the time. i know i'm different but when people can except that and you can except them for who they are your life will be 100x better i can promis you that much.
