What was the best experience of your seventh grade year? What was the worst experience of your seventh grade year? Throughout the year there have been any moments, you probably can't even remember because you like to remember only the best ones. There have been one of the greatest memories, and maybe not so great, but I have all managed to get through them. The best experience I went through was getting to the end of each quarter and figuring out that after the whole quarter and y hard work, it was payed off with my straight A's and 4.0 GPA.
      There have been worse experiences where you just wish it was all a dream, but you eventually get through them. My worst experience was with my grades, even though it was the best. Throughout the quarter my grades were basic, and I couldn't manage to fix them, but I did and I'm proud of it. My seventh grade year here at Computech has made a difference in my life, a good difference.
 
What were some positive and negative effects of the Columbian Exchange? There were many effects that the Columbian Exchange did, some of them were good, and some of them were not so good. The Columbian exchange was a time when the Columbians exchanged goods with the other people. They would trade many things, over the trade routes. Some people got to learn the language of the Columbians.
     Some negative effects of the Columbian exchange were the diseases and sicknesses that the Columbians transferred through trading goods and other things. They would pass on the sicknesses and people could actually have died, some people actually died they didn't know any remedies that could cure those types of sicknesses and diseases. This was mostly part of the negative side.
 
What was your favorite station at the zoo? I had to favorite stations, one was the owl station, where we got to see how our vision is compared to the owls. The other station was about the sea lions, and how their environment affects them. I liked the owl station the best because we got to use a big circular thing, that you brought up to your head, and someone would move a little tab at the side, that way you could see how your vision is compared to an owls.
      I like the sea lion station because the sea lions at the zoo are a new exhibit. We got to see them, and we learned about how they live in climates based on how the sun is. Another station that I enjoyed was the stingray station. In that station, we got to touch the stingrays, see a shark, and even touch a shark's egg! There were othe
 
How was the end of the Inca Empire similar to the end of the Aztec Empire? The end of the Inca's empire was pretty much similar like the Aztec's. Both of them were unknown, and no one knows much why it could have collapsed. For both of them empires, they both have similar theories, or thoughts about how the empires could have ended. 
     One theory, was that there were too many sacrifices. There was another one where scientists believe that their rulers were too demanding, and the people didn't want to follow their way of life any more. Then there was a lot of war. Small city-states always fought over land. People always lost or gained land, and it happened quickly. You could have had the same land for a while, lost it, and then win over it again.
 
Have you learned about the Mayan civilization? If you have you might have a theory about how the civilization collapsed. For example: warfare, over-population, over-demanding rulers, and climate change, are all theories of how the Mayan civilization collapsed, think the people that have been learning about the Mayans.
      Personally, I think that the Mayan civilization collapsed for all of these  reasons. Warfare, was a common way that the city-states would take control of their land. There could have been over-population, or the over-demanding rulers made the people not want to listen to the rulers and go against them. There are many reasons you could think of why the Mayan civilization collapsed.
 
We are pretty much almost done with the year. Throughout this school year there have been many memories, do you have any? My favorite memories from seventh grade start back to when I was in summer school. During, summer school, I was able to meet new friends and meet up with friends I hadn't seen in a long time. There everything started, when summer school was over we just had to wait till the year started.
      Then the year started, where you at first didn't know where your classes were at, and you didn't know much people. Then you started to fit in and meet new people, memorize your schedule. Then there was the dance, the rally, and a lot of other memories that you probably had on those days.
 
What are theses? There are actually 95 theses which Martin Luther wrote describing all the bad things the Roman Catholic Church was doing like selling indulgences and that kind of stuff. Once he wrote them, he went to go post them on the door of the Castle Church where the priest and popes where. Everyone came to here about this story and the 95 theses that Luther thought were bad things that were happening in the church. The priests and popes in return said that he was a heretic, and it was just the practice of heresy. 
     Out of those 95 theses I think that the following that I am going to list are the most important that we should follow daily. Especially if you're in school or work or where ever you are you should follow them. The penitential canons apply only to men who are still alive, and, according to the canons themselves, none applies to the dead. I think you should follow that theses.
 
All my life I have been having to move with my clan to the south in order for us to survive. I know that we have to eat, and in order to eat, we have to hunt animals. That's why we always have to be moving to the south where we can catch prey and have food for more than a month. I don't even get to go with them when they get to hunt the animals they are hunting. I have to stay at home and go to nearby trees and bushes to gather any kind of plant that is edible.
     Even if I did get to go with the men on the hunting trips I bet it wouldn't be very exciting after a while. Maybe when you are first learning it would be exciting, but after a while you just have to get used to it.I have recently heard news about a new place we can stay,  and we won't have to follow these daily rules as I would call them. Hopefully, my clan will approve of the idea.
 
Out of every book you have read this year, which one was your favorite? My favorite book was Crispin. We read Crispin as a class and the reason that I liked it was because it was very interesting. Also, every time there was a cliffhanger, we would have to stop there and wait till the next day so we could read it. Crispin was a poor boy, and his mother had died. He was the son of the Lord Furnival and he didn't even know it.
     There was also a steward by the name of John Ayecliff. He knew that Crispin was the lord's son, but he tried to keep everyone from knowing it. Crispin was then accused of something that wasn't true, which made him run away from home and met someone by the name of Bear.
 
What was the scientific revolution? Why was it important? The scientific revolution was an important time period that came to be known for the smartest of scientist that invented all types of things. The scientific revolution was the birth of modern science. With all the scientists and other important people like Galileo, Isaac Newton, and Tycho Brahe. These people invented and came up with new ideas every day.
     For example, Galileo was known for trying to teach that the sun was the center of the universe and everything revolved around it. Church officials did not let him continue teaching because it was not the way of the church like how Aristotle's writings had shown. Isaac Newton came up with four laws. They became laws because he was able to prove them. Tycho Brahe invented the telescope which would later make one of the best known devices for studying astronomy.
