Passion Project wk.3

This week I mostly just worked on my website. I am posting pictures and writing tips on how to run better and how to get started. I am working on Google sites which are working well and I think my website is looking good. Also, on my poster, I have made a very eye-catching and colorful base. So anyone who walks by will hopefully stop and read then, visit my website. I think that I worked really hard this week getting my website done. I have finished my website and my poster so I am happy.

passion project. wk.2

This was the phase when I searched for website and videos. I found some really good videos helping me chose which tips I want for my website. I also looked at the proper form for running so then I can tell people how to run the right way. I think I didn't do too bad during this time period and got a lot of work done. I worked on my poster and website a lot so I am trying to make my website look better and my poster more colorful. 



 I researched mostly how to run better not how to make websites and posters. I feel I was better at the internet and not as good at explaining the way to run so I researched that more. My next steps are to finish my website and to collect and watch videos and information. Also, to make my poster very colorful and eye-popping so you can read and get inspiration.        

Passion project. wk.1

I have always had a passion for being healthy and walking/running. I just got into the PEAT program and found that I then wanted to be more active. So that is why I decided to try and help people be more active than ever. I am doing this by, making a poster and printing copies of it, then posting it on telephone poles. It is going to be a very vibrate so it is eye catching and people look at and read it. 




If people are running or walking it will an encouraging note for them to keep going. If they are not and just there walking home from school then they will be strongly encouraged to walk and run. I need to learn how to create and make a website look good and be fully functional. I wonder if a lot of people will visit the site. Also, I hope that a lot of people to take my advice to go my site instead of ignoring.               

Social media awarrness

1. You acknowledge that we may not always identify paid services, sponsored content, or commercial communications as such.

I don't think this is very fair since the beginning rule is 

1. You may not post violent, nude, partially nude, discriminatory, unlawful, infringing, hateful, pornographic or sexually suggestive photos or other content via the Service.

 So They say that they are allowed to do any of that, in my opinion, is wrong. 

history question.

History question

My question is: what are the differences kids in the 1800s vs the 2000s?

Kids are the future to our world and they are very different than the kids from the 1850s, but, how different are they? Do they all just go to schools like us or did they really all sit in one classroom? The wealthy kids could hire private teachers  or tutors but most kids were put into one classroom. It also, didn't matter what learning abilities or what age you were it did not matter.

Children worked harder and longer from all ages., they could be 6 or they could be 16 it did not matter. They mostly worked in dangerous factories safety was completely disregarded. If a child was slacking off of his/her job than ethir they would be physically or verbally abused. Also, children were payed as little as 50 cents a month, they were also given risky jobs. Hey did that because they were smaller they would crawl into small places.

Their clothing was mostly formal the girls would wear dresses and the boys would wear trousers and dress shirts. Their healthcare was different and most people died from something as little as pneumonia. The most deadly diseases at the time was cholerae (and infection of the small intestines.) Since children's lower intestine is not fully developed to fight diseases so they would die a lot.        

body in the woods

The Body in The Woods was a genuinely good book but was very slow and uninspired. The characters Alexis has found comfort with the SAR team as her mom has mental health problems. Her friend Nick is trying to prove that he can perform random acts of bravery like his dad did. Ruby is very smart but everyone else thinks she is weird. This group of friends found a body in the woods and they want to find who killed her.

   The beginning of this book was very lackluster when they found the body they weren't even that freighted. In this book, there were that there were some very slow parts but they were quickly followed by the fast parts. To me the fast parts were almost too fast they moved on so quickly and anticlimactically they just passed and were lost at the end of the book, it was almost like I forgot that it happened.

The middle of the book was where most of the story happens. The character of Alexis was a big plus for the book. She offered a much more interesting story than the other characters. I especially enjoyed the end of the book it has a very big twist that offers a pleasant element of surprise.

When you hear the quote (“out in the woods, no one can hear you scream.”) I think that this quote explains the book very well. It just has a scary and eerie feel to it, just like the book is. So if you want to be always a the edge of your seat than I think that this is the book for you.    

Thailand blog.

Yes, Thailand's food is very good. Have you ever thought about putting yourself in the people's shoes that live in the rougher parts of Thailand? Most times when you go you go to the richest part of Thailand? Bangkok has the most hotels and the most expensive ones. Think for a second of giving back to the ones that are sitting there with little food. 

The education system in Thailand is an interesting thing. It's free for twelve years just like we are but most people can't or don't go to school. Strangely people in Thailand enroll late and they are allowed. Most people are home schooled and then are brought in later for second, school. The most common job in Thailand is a university teacher. I don't find that odd because many people in the richer spots of Thailand always go to university to become a teacher. Both boys and girls go to school. It is a very gender equality place and schooling is no different. In fact, women have the highest status in the community other than Singapore.

In Thailand you have to pay for the healthcare and since most people are struggling to pay to even eat. Most people have to make their own herbal remedies just to cure a common cold. The life expectancy in Thailand is 71.9 for male and 78.0 for female. The leading cause of death in Thailand is cancer, heart and stroke problems. I think it is that way because in Thailand they have a lot of greasy foods and since you have to pay for it, they can't get help if they have a stroke. Most women have the health care jobs in Thailand, they are mostly specialist. Whenever there is a major problem and a rich person is dying then they will come by helicopter. If you don't have enough money than they give you something that will get you through the day then leave you.

In Thailand, the working conditions can be rough and amazing at the same time. Most fishers have a rough and tough time fishing. In most places, there is child slavery, especially in the fishing business. The children are going to grow up and think that's right to do and more and more people will get forced to work. That hopefully will get out of the norm and then die out completely. The children have to work for their families because they can't support their family and friends. Most of them unfortunately make bad clothes or blankets and they don't have to get paid for it or paid very little. The unemployment rate in Thailand is 0.6%.       

If this is to continue or the king of Thailand dies then there will eventually there will be anarchy. They will be fighting for food and water always. The children that are working won't have food or water to work and then their economy will get worse and worse. Eventually, they will try to immigrate to Canada or USA and then Thailand will be underpopulated. If they try to fix the employment issue they have a chance to get out. If not then bad stuff will happen. But, still, the food is very good.        

Mcdonadls's

McDonald's

Name: Benjamin cooper

Grade: 8

Teacher Name: Mrs.gouett

Due Date: Monday, January, 16, 2017

Mcdonald's is really popular fast food restaurant but the food is really disgusting. Are you aware of how many stomach-churning ingredients there are? What about some of the food that has tons of calories and fat in it?

There is a lot of salt on the Mcdonald's foods and dressings. The ranch dressing Camphas 320 mg of sodium just by itself with tonnes of preservatives. The ketchup, of course, has salt in it but sweet and sour sauce has more, coming in at 150mg of sodium. In just those 30 ml cups too. Thinking about getting a cheeseburger with fries? think again as it has 720 mg of sodium. If you are interested, you can see the sodium content by clicking the link on the bottom of the page. As of January they have to show the calorie content on the menus. I think that they should should show the sodium content too so than you don't have to visit a site to see. Well that was repellent to research, but some facts just make me not want to go to McDonalds again. If you want to see those facts visit their website.

We know that sodium is rampant in Mcdonalds but now let's look at some of the facts that are just foul. When left in a jar, for two years, Mcdonald's fries did not look like they had changed. They looked the exact same! The reason for that is the sodium content is so high it won't mold or decay. Most of the burgers at Mcdonald's are over 200 calories just by themselves without including fries. The salt that they put on the burgers is not even real salt it’s only half salt. The other part of the salt is sodium, aluminum and, silicone so you are consuming awful things without you knowing it. You really have to make sure you stay away from these certain chemicals. There is more than that like all the fat in the burgers.

There is some real fat on these burgers but it is really something you have to watch out for. The big mac is an iconic burger but it comes in at 520 calories 28 grams of fat which is about 42% of the daily recommended fat. The next one is not even a burger it is a bacon and egg mcmuffin with a multigrain bagel. It has 620 calories and 30 grams of fat which is 45% of the fat you need each day. Lastly the 20 piece chicken mcnugget has 830 calories and has 45 grams of fat which is 71% of the fat you need

each day. For further information on the fat content in mcdonalds it can be easily      viewed at

I have looked at all the sodium and fat facts in McDonald's foods and found that it could impact your daily lives if you eat it on a daily basis. It would make your cholesterol levels skyrocket since you have a high cholesterol you are more likely to have heart attacks and strokes. Though the nutrition information is very high in fat and sodium and people know it they still come back. They do that because the convenience of having fast food outweighs the drag of having to make food when you get home. Fast food companies know this so they tend to place themselves in towns where homes are farther away for most people. SInce it is so close at the time they just buy there with no worries. Hopefully you have learned how much fat sodium is really in Mcdonald's foods.       

Metacognition Reflection Question

1. What strategies did you use to improve your essay (besides having the teacher make suggestions and corrections)?  I used google read and write. I find that having a voice that is not yours read you something is easier to point out mistakes. I talked to my parents about it too and asked them to read it over and give me some pointers.    
2. What future steps will you take to improve as a writer? I will spell check 3 times instead of two Than I will ask people other than my parents for advice and I will make sure to check up will the teacher about how to improve my essay.

Reflection "is being teased worse than being ignored"

I think that being teased is worse than being ignored. If you are being teased at a consent rate than is absolutely awful. If you are being teased once a month it is bad but not as awful as once a day. But, being ignored is not that great either. You start to feel useless and unimportant to anyone. So if you are getting bullied first of all tell a teacher But, I fell its worse then being ignored constantly. If you are being ignored in your family than it is probably worse than being teased once a week or month.
