Microbes may soon help make it easier to recycle a bottle. Most people after drinking out of a bottle just tossed in a recycle bin, without realizing what's going to happen to that bottle after that. most plastic bottles are made of a material called pet or polyethylene terephthalate.  but a team of researchers in Europe recently found a way to convert pet. heading pet plastic products a solid called terephthalic acid, to find out, the scientists studied soil collected near a plastic bottle factory. harnessing this bacteria's ability to convert ta to pha  could be  important.

LED's and OLED's are like tiny computer chips that give off light. Incondescent lights are inofficient. 95% is wasted. LED's are 20-50% efficient. They use a lot of less energy. LED's could cut every use in half. We use color LED's for cell phones, street lights, and flashlights. Poor people around the world can use LED's without electricity. OLED's can be made at room temperature. LED's need high temperatures. White LED's are to expensive to make!!!!

This article I am reading is mostly about light, power, and energy. It was also
Talking about led’s and oled’s. Oled’s and Led’s are like tiny computer chips
That give off light. Led’s and oled’s are better than incandescent lights, and the
Reason for that is because incandescent lights are inefficient 5% goes to light,
95% is wasted led’s are 20 – 50% efficient, led’s help us because it could
Cut energy use in half we use colors led’s for cell phones, street lights, bridges, and flash lights.

21 Frances Alagal Blooms

This is about how Humpback whales are dieing from Red Algae.OK 14 Humpback whales died already by eating the Red Algae in the Red Tides.Red Algae has poison in it it floats or swims in the ocean and how the whales died by is they eat it and they store it in their fat so when they let out all their fat they die the fish and other animals that eat Red Algae have it in their like skin & the whales it which make them die.So back to Algal Blooms are like a group more like a population because they grow faster and faster like a population.Scientists are using technology so they can or trying to predict when a Red Tide comes so just in case someone goes fishing so they wont have to go to the hospital or end up dying becasue the fsih eat the Red Algae so when the people dont know they go to the hospital or die.

19 Christian-- Summary 1-- Algal Blooms

Algal Blooms are rapid growth of poulation of algae. Algae and algal are the same thing except algal is a lot of algae. Sometimes algae grows rapidly which often contains red pigment, which turns the water red. Red algae are killing whales by producing poison, red alge already killed 14 whales. Algal/algae are difficult to see even looking on a regular microscope. The way you can see them is by looking through an expensive and "special" microscope like the ones scientists use.

21 Frances Lighting goes digital

Lighting goes digital is about how we have to save energy.But did you know that we use mmore energy than we did before,Befroe we didnt have lights so we saved like tons of energy.Some energy lets out air and it goes into lights and gives it energy.We have to make our air cleaner ands to do that we have to REUSE stuff yes i said it reuse its goood to resue stuff like Rechargeable batteries it saves a lot of energy so you dont have to go to the store and buy some battries,all you have to do is recharge your batteries so it can make our air cleaner.Like for example lamps and stuff pollutes the air the air we breathe!! If we dont save energy our air will turn gray and we4 wont have clean air unless we save energy.So yea their s alot of things that cause's our air to be polluted!!!

Lighting Gose Digital

If you don't know about electricity, well know a days we have to start saving it. In the past there was no electricity, but know we use more than you know. If you never have never have seen a computer chip. Well it is vary small, but holds a lot of information. Some energy is release into the light but not all enregy.
To make our air cleaner its better to use rechargeable batteries. Some lamps and lanterns pollute our air. That's why batteries are good for our air. When kids wake up at night they will sometimes start to read in bed and will turn on the lamp. So Even at night we use energy.
Many things are part of the reason our air is polluted. Some are lanterns or lamps even coolers. Many studies say that when you are in a brigter room it makes the light brighter.
So if we dont save enregy we could have gray air.

plastic munching microbes

plastic munching microbes helen pike

after drinking water or somesort of drink that comes in a bottle you usually throw the plastic bottle away in the recycleing ben because you think it will be turned in to something usefull again. right?

the plastic bottles are made from what is called pet. it is usually recycled in to a low quality plastic that cant be used for much. so not exactly.

researchers in eurupe found a way to convert pet in to pha which is biodegratable.

heating pet produces ta which bacteria eats which can be in pet because of contmination during the bottle making prosses.

the bacteria in ta have the abilitie to convert ta pha which is the next step to recycling pet. so while pet to pha is not the whole answer pet recycling it is part of the salution.

summary 2 LIGHTING GOES DIGITAL

By Megan

Computers have transformed our lives so completely that it’s difficult to remember what life was like before the digital age. Only a few decades ago people used typewriters for writing and calculators for solving math and money.

Both technologies are composed of layers fluorescent bulbs are more efficient and last longer. These lights have already replaced traditional bulbs in traffic light’s and in displays in clocks.

LEDS are manufactured in the same manner as computer chips. OLEDS are used in cell phone screens. But most of the other ideas are in design.

1. Persuasive Essay (art in schools)

To Whom It May Concern:

Here is the United States, children are lucky enough to have to have school as part of their regular routine. However, most of the children do not look forward to school.

That’s because today’s schools suck.

Huh? They all have the “National Requirements”. Teachers, lunchladys, lunches, principals, nurses, preschools and playgrounds (if there elementary), books, secretary ect...

It gets boring.

Sure, some kids learn that way, but the majority of kids in school don’t. They need schools like Eagles Peak, which are small, close-knit, and are active in the arts.

Most of the time, kids learn better with something challenging and fun.

Something needs to be saved. It’s in great danger. You didn’t want to have do it.
But if you don’t it will die.

So look in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s not Superman! Or Supergirl! Not Batman or Spiderman!

It’s a group of kids, lead by their fearless teacher, heading out on a fieldtrip to the world one school at a time!

Okay, that would be pretty darn cool, but we don’t live in a comic book. There aren’t any super heroes to save the world and stop global warming right?

Wrong! There is someone. Lots of someone’s.

No, it’s not a comic book superhero come to life. You’re one. I’m one.

Who are they? The reason we are in this whole mess in the first place.
Humans. Humans have endangered the whole planet. They caused global warming.
Along the way, we’ve put millions of lives in danger. Animals we love. Tigers. Pandas. Seals.

We cut down whole rain forests, just to make some old guy with no heart or concise can be rich enough to cut more trees down.

So we should to teach kids how to make small changes for the world. Teach them how even the smallest choice you make will effect everyone and everything around them.

Schools should also be greener. Take small steps, like recycling, or use Florissant lights bulbs, will make a great difference.

Make the right choice.

Treasure Island

By Julie Lynne Conradi

Treasure Island, written by Robert Louis Stevenson is a classic adventure story with a valuable lesson: People aren’t always who you think they are.

It all begins our main character, Jim Hawkins, finds a map of an island, and a captain’s log that says is full of treasure. He shows two trusted friends, Squire Trelawney and Dr. Livsley. They set sail for the mysterious island with a good ship, and a seemingly loyal crew. The crew does a wonderful job maintaining the ship. The cook, Long John Silver presents mouthwatering cuisine at every meal.

When I first heard the name ‘Long John Silver’ I didn’t trust him. The name is kind of a give away that he is a bad guy.

And he is. Long John Silver takes over. While getting an apple, Jim overhears the cook talking about taking over the ship. It turns out that Long John Silver was really a
pirate! Jim told his friends, and they fled to the island in panic.

At long last, Silver surrenders. He couldn’t find the treasure, and his crew wasn’t loyal. He gave up. He even agreed to be hanged once they were back in England.This story shows you that you should make someone gain your trust before you trust them.

LEDs and OLEDs Summery

By Julie

LEDs and OLEDs are a brand new lighting technology that has the ability to renew the way we use light. LED are light-emitting diodes, while OLEDs are organic light-emitting diodes. A diode is a simple form of a semiconductor. LEDs and OLEDs could cut lighting energy in half, while being brighter then a normal light blub. LEDs are still to costly to use in all home and offices.

Inventors are developing ground-breaking methods to use LEDs. Light could glow from a tile on the floor, or the wallpaper!

There are, nevertheless, challenges to conquer before solid-state lighting replaces all the bulbs in our sockets. Scientists are investigating ways to make LEDs and OLEDs more efficient and cheaper. The organic materials in OLEDs are easily broken and don’t last as long as conventional LEDs, so scientists are looking for ways to make them sturdier. Moisture harms OLEDs, so researchers are trying to figure out how to protect these lights of the future.

The Gift of the Magi

The Gift of the Magi, by O. Henry, was favorite story in the packet because it showed the spirit of the Christmas and what the holiday season is all about.
The 2 main characters in the story, James “Jim” and Della Dillingham Young, are a poor couple living in 19th century England.
It is the day before Christmas, and Della only has $1.87 to buy a present for Jim. While she was crying, she realized that she could cut and sell her hair so she could buy Jim a Christmas present.
Her hair was worth $20 and so, with her $21.87, she set out to find the perfect gift. She returned home with a new chain for Jim’s watch.
That night, when they exchange gifts, they found out that Jim had sold his watch to buy her new combs to wear in her hair, and she had sold her hair to buy him a new chain for his watch!
This classic Christmas tale gives me a warm, fuzzy happiness inside, like when you drink hot chocolate, and put a smile on, my face.

Extra Credit: Pandas

In this article "PANDAS" it is talking about how they are the bestknown animals in the world, but also the rarest. In 1990 there were just only 1,ooo giant pandas in the wild. To the zookeepers, scientists, and animal lovers the panda was mostly everyone's interest. Because the panda was so uniquely special, and popular it was chosen as the symbol of the (WWF)WORLD WILDLIFE FUND.

Pandas in the wild prefer to be cool and damp than to be in a hot, humid place where the weather is bad for the pandas. Way up in the SICHUAN mountains where there is midty forests that pandas like to live in. When it is the winter it becomes to cold for the pandas to say, so in order to keep warm. They go down to the lower slopes of the mountain. Pandas are known for being famous for eating bamboo. Luckily in those cold and damp forrests they don't have to hunt for their favorite food, because it's right next to them.

Giant Pandas are known for not being the most common animal in someplaces. And there are reasons for this. They do not produce many of babies,because they could only live in cold bamboo forests. Also to have a big area to have their siblings. Even plenty of their favorite bamboo to eat, but the problem is that bamboo plants spread the seeds that it has. Then after it grows, and the bamboo is all grown and has been eaten all up. The pandas would have to wait until the new plants grow from the seeds. So then the pandas die of starvation. Another reason they are so rare is, because the chinese people needs to have have more land for there farmss. So they cut down the bamboo forests where the Pandas live in. Also taking them from the wild,and hunting them down for their skins. Using Panda for people like to decorate the homes with it. And Japan people love pandas fur so much that they would pay (over $200,000) for a rug made out of Panda fur. Because it is that valuable to them. ASlso it is against the law to be hunting pandas. If the huntters are spotted trying to kill one. Then they would be imprisoned for life or sentednced to death. Even though hunting Pandas is against the law. They still amnage to get a few panda skins, because people pay them alot of money for it.

There might be some hunters out there, but there are thoughs who like saving animals than killing them. In China the chinese people and the ICGS(INTERNATIONAL CONVERSATION ORGANIZATIONS) decided they wanted to save the pandas. So they work really hard to protect them by setting up 13 special panda researves in CHINA, where 800 pandas are living peacefully and safe. The researves were also created, because they wanted to protect the bamboo forest. So that the farmers wouldn't take all of the other land away. So to keep a watch on the bamboo places armed guards patrol area from hunters, and people that are saving pandas wants local people around them to know whats happening because then the community could help, out with people who are trying to hurt pandas.

Now in the present vets, scientist, zookeppers ect.... are all helping out keep pandas from being endangerd, and protect the bamboo forests back and protect the bamboo forests back in CHINA , and guard where the

It couldn't be of satarvation,because they are full of food. But luckily biologist examined all of the whales insides. When they finished examining them they finally figured out the cause of their deaths. The whales had contained a rare deadly toxin called( Alexandrium Tamarence).

1. Persuasive Essay (art in schools) Good morning congress


So my school and I would like to request a couple of things to help our education. Our first idea is a lunch program, we all know that you are a very busy person and with out your coffee you’re half asleep all day, that’s pretty much the same thing with us without our food in the morning.
Our second idea is a bigger library with a librarian. Our library is very small and does not have a librarian. One of our main priorities for school is to get better at reading….and without many books with higher reading levels us students won’t get better. We need a librarian because someone has to organize the books in the library and someone needs to keep track of what book was taken out, and which was lost, or which books where donated.
My last request for today is more P.E equipment because a lot of kids are out of shape and we play the same games over and over again. And after a while all those games we keep on playing get boring and we loose interest in P.E.

Non-fiction:
Fourteen Humpback whales were found dead on the shores of the beaches. Scientists studied the bodies of the whales and they were in perfectly good health. What happened to these healthy whales? Then scientists found out that they were poisoned by red algae. Red algae is a plants that grow at the cold bottom of the ocean. They are not always red, they are sometimes brown,and sometimes colorless but the red ones are the fatal ones.They are toxic and recently they have been growing more and faster.
Algae was spoted on the satilites and there was images of the algea moving with the current. Sometimes the algea gets to the shore of beaches and people are not allowed to swim there, go fishinq, or catch clams. The red algea is fatal to humans but not as much as to the whales because it stores it self in the fat and it gets to high death rate and it kills the whale.

Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones was a large woman who worked at a beauty shop, and didnt close till late. It was eleven o'clock and she was walking home, her purse slung across her shoulder when a boy runs from behind her and tries to snatch it. He wasnt strong or heavy enough to snatch it, on his attempt he fell on his back,legs in the air.
Luella shook him until his teeth rattled "Now aint you ashamed of yourself?"she asked him.
"Yes'm," replied the boy. He looked thirteen years old more or less.
Luella didnt like that he was dirty, specially his face. She took him home and told him to wash his face. He had a very good chance of making a run for it for she had left the door open. He didnt want to be mis-trusted so he bent over the sink and washed his face.
"Whats your name?" Luella asked him.
"Roger," he replied.
"You gonna take me to jail?" Roger asked.
"Not with that face," she said.
She wondered if anyone ever told him to wash his face "There's nobody at my house" Roger answered simply. She didn't ask further questions that might emberrass him.
"Then we'll eat," said the woman, "I believe you're hungry-or been hungry-to try to snatch my pockekbook."
"I wanted a new pair of blue suede shoes," said the boy.
"Well, you didn't have to snatch my pockekbook to get some suede shoes," said Mr. Luella Bates Washington Jones." You could have asked me."
"M'am?"
Turns out she did was bad like Roger to get things she wanted. After dinner she gave her ten dollars so he could buy his shoes and led him out the door. He wanted to say more than "thank you ma'am" but when he turned to her he merly said "thank you" and he never saw her again.

Good Morning Miss/Mr. Congressman, listen I am sorry but I have a few requests. It will only take a little bit of your time with three of my ideas. I hope you will like them.
The first idea is a bigger library with a librarian for my school. We need more books for resaerch or just to read for fun. We also need digital and portibal laptops for the same reason as the books. Finally we need paper for school projects or printable use. The second idea is more P.E. activities. we need more P.E. activities is because it's a better way to get an easier and better grade. Another reason is getting more excercise in class. Finally we need more options in P.E. activities. Finally the rhird idea is lunch and breakfast programs for brain food and energy to concentrate on school work. Also to get you through the day. I hope you give some intrest in these questions. Also I hope you agree with me. Hopefully you can make some changes for the sake of my school, Eagles Peak Charter School

Algal Blooms are rapid growth of poulation of algae. Algae and algal are the same thing except algal is a lot of algae. Sometimes algae grows rapidly which often contains red pigment, which turns the water red. Red algae are killing whales by producing poison, red alge already killed 14 whales. Algal/algae are difficult to see even looking on a regular microscope. The way you can see them is by looking through an expensive and "special" microscope like the ones scientists use.

Luella was a large woman with a large pursethat had everything you could think of except hammer and nails. She was carring it slung over her shoulder and it was about 11 o' clock at night and a boy came running from behind to try and take her purse. However the boy's weight and the purses weight combined and the boy lost his balance. Then the woman just simply turned around and kicked him on his bottom and then picked him up from his shirt and shook him untill his teeth did the same. Then Luella took the boy up to his apartment to get him washed because he was dirty. Then she asked for his name which is, Roger. Roger and Luella were getting along and Roger was going to the store and asked if Luella wanted anything she said no and Luella asked if Roger wanted cocoa. Insted of going to the store Roger ate some lima beans, ham, and cocoa. at the dinner table they were talking and Roger found out that Luella worked at a hotel beauty shop, and then gave Roger some ten-cent cake. right about when Roger was about to leave he didn't want to say thank you ma'am but could hardly even say "thank you." Then he left to never see her again.

My Cell Phone


A day that was suppose to full of fun, turned out to be an upsetting day for me. I was eleven years old when I went to Disneyland. It was crowded as usual. My dad and my brother wanted to go on Indiana Jones. My mom and I wanted to go on Astro Orbiters. Mom decided to give my dad my cell phone since she couldn’t find hers in her purse. My cell phone is a pink Katana phone with a blinged Hello Kitty sticker, a picture of my friend and me, when you shut the phone it was a picture of my brother and a blue-haired girl all dressed for Disneyland. My dad stuck my phone in his cargo shorts. My dad and brother said that the ride was bumpy and kind find of fast. My brother had a confused, worried look. My mom asked, “What’s wrong?” and that’s when my brother confessed that my dad had lost my cell phone. My dad didn’t clip my cell phone to his cargo pants. He didn’t put it in the net to keep items from falling off the ride. I was crying, hard. I pictures and phone numbers that belonged to my friends. I felt depressed. I felt nauseous, full, tired, lazy and depressed. It was time for us to return back to the hotel. We called Disneyland to see if they had found my cell phone. NO LUCK. It was time for us to check out of the hotel and go home. We checked again, nothing. It had been five days since my dad lost my cell phone. Sprint had all ready sent me a new phone, still nothing. On the following Tuesday, my mom had called to see if they had found my phone. I was listening, too. While we were waiting for the lady to come back with a phone that sounded like the on described, they were playing “Zip-a- Dee- Do- Da.” The woman came back on the line. She asked if it was hot pink. Nope. She asked if it had a kitten picture. Nah, uh. Then, she asked if it had a bling-bling Hello Kitty sticker. Yes. She asked if it had a picture of two girls. Yup. She asked if it had a Mickey Mouse girl. Oh, Yeah! They had found my phone! She said they found my phone the day we left Anaheim. About three days later my phone arrived. Nothing was deleted or messed up. Just a picture was taken of someone’s index finger. I was excited that Disney had found my phone. And to this day I still have my pink Katana phone.

Non-Fiction Summary: Recycle Your Plastic! Plastic Munching Micros

Did you know that most plastics are made out of Polyethylene Terephtalate or PET? Polyethylene terephtlate is usually recycled in only a low quality plastic that can't be made into a food or drink packaging, A team of researchers from Europe just found a way to change PET into a more useful plastic called Polythydroxyalkanoate or PHA, this is considered biodegradable. PHA can be medical devices. It can also be enviorment friendly kind of food packaging. PET pas tic can't be heated up because it will produce a few breakdown products, a solid called Terephatalic acid or TA, a gas and liquid. Bactria's ability to be converted into a TS or PHA will be most likely be an important step for PET. PET and PHA isn't the answer to PET recycling, they could be the solution to the problem.

Dear congressman,

Do you no what its like to be a student at Eagles Peak Charter School with no grass and a little bit of P.E space?We need grass and more P.E space so we can stay in shape. We also need more equipment so we can play more games and have more fun and actually have fun in P.E and not be bored.I think are school should get money because one of our main concerns is our computers we have twenty-five computers counting the six that don’t even work and we have 75 kids at our school. When we take assessments on the computer most kids have to wait until others are done and that wastes a lot of time.All that time we could be learning new things but no we have to wait around. Being a student at Eagles Peak School is not always easy for everyone there’s like hardly any space its so crowded I love going to school there but its gets really loud cluttered and HOT there’s just to many kids and so little space.We need the money so we could change all this and make our school better.And more space so we could get more students to join our school.And the money will help our school a lot we could start after school activities, we could have dances, fundraisers maybe we could maybe even get our cafeteria open.

5. History: 8th Grade: Declaration of Independence Project, American Revolution Project:


How are we going to create a Government?
Well to start a government you first need to have a leader.
Because if you don’t have a government you wont be able to make Laws.
Also you wouldn’t no what laws are right and what laws are Wrong.
And if we didn’t have laws then everything would go wrong, and everyone would do whatever they want.

Once we have our Government we’ll have to make all our laws equal for everyone.
So I would make a list of what everyone would want then.
I would turn them into laws but only the rights that are right.


The choices of the people are respected but the laws of the country

Must be enforced.

The people will choose who will be our president but the president
Can not make new laws and Abuse there powers all the laws

Are going to be chosen by the people.

The president chosen will be our final president to decide the

Future laws for our country.

All though the president will not have full control of our country

There will be a group of people in charge of creating the laws

And hearing out the opinions after the laws will be passes to

The president so that he could see if he’s going to pass the laws or

If he’s going to destroy the law/laws.

Everyone as a country will need to be fair on the laws

And how we make them.

If you’re going to make your own government you have to be

Prepared. Also you’ll have to be educated to be part of

The government.

We will run a country that everyone can believe that everyone is

There for them our country will be safe and everyone will have

A chance to follow their dreams.


Our country will be very cautious about we do.

In our country everyone will take care of everyone and keep

Everyone safe.

school improvements

We live in a free country and we are proud to live in that country but it all starts in school. We as students belive well I believe that we should have more creative classes, and many field trips such as communitive fiels trips and educative field trips. These variaty of classes will exspand our learning creativity.

One we would like improved is the creative arts classin. Last year there was piano, choir, guitar and tap dancing classes. By having some of these classes kids would learn new things that might come in handy in the near future. There many reasons for these classes one is that tap helps kids stay and shape and not become obessed wich is the number one cause of death in america.

Speaking of obesity like I said it is the number one cause of death. Which brings me to another subject physical education otherwise nown as P.E. P.E is an important part of a kids education we learn how to work as a team and how to interact with others and one of the most important parts friends. To make all of this happen we need equipmen and other things maybe a school team would fit in perfectly.

There are many reasons on why creative learning is good for us it gives us new ideas I mean look at leonardo so creative that he comes up with his own style of writing. Bringing more creative art classes might unleash a moder issac newten or a michael angelo which is the main goel of every teacher in america bring the best out of kids. Music is a perfect example so many succesful musicions all with great talen laa thanks to a creative art class in there school about music.

We as student will do any thing to acomplish this and we have many ideas such as fundraisers, games or any other thing that saves up money. But whe cannot do everithing ourselfs we might need your help. These creative arts classes will make school better and more interesting. Through time we have learned that there are many different types of masterminds all around the world some that try to make it better and some that try the opposite. All of this is inevitable ones mind is almost set or is already set on what it wants to achieve.

You ever wonder what would be happening on the other side of the worl right now if this country actuall worked together. This is the lesson we learn in Lord of the Flies by william golding. the story is about a group of teenege boys ho get stranded on an uknown islasnd. they where on a plane that crashed the cockpit landed on another place leaving them with no adults. So you can imagine part of the situation.

People should be united do yhings together to advance more in every aspect of the world. That is the very worst subject for a group of teenage boys. Jack; one of the main charactors ho is bossy arrogent and very very primitive. On the other hand theres Ralph and Piggy ho care about the welfare of others not just there own. Jack believes he should be leader but instead they choose Ralph. Jack then tries everithyng to get Ralph kicked out humiliated so hard that he retrieves from being leader.

Jeolusy,hate and envy are not a good combination especially in a boy whos full of all those feelings. Jack believing that he should be in control so he humiliates Ralph in front of everyone just so that he can get the boot. Soon after he tries to get Ralph voted off but he is not succesfull. With a pinch of luck the boys unite to hunt the beastie that is haunting them. But the treatie does not last long.

Being prtimitive and only thinking about yourself is not good. Jcks bad influence turns the littluns against the best person on mthe island. With Jack in mind the littluns beat Simon to death. But the spree continues Jacks impatience with piggy grows larger by the second until he can take no more and then he kills Piggy with a boulder.

LORD OF THE FLIES IS ABOUT HOW A WORLD WITHOUGHT A GOVERMANT IS LIKE. AND HOW THE NISEST OF PEOPLE MAY CHANGE.

All of this must have been really funny because my cousins were laughing there butts off. I sterded stering at the ground when I noticed there dirty gooy feet. Noticing this I saw more odd things like the stick that had been thrown away to hide it but obviusly failing that I saw the sticky handle and tip.

Knowing ho had done it my grandma punished my cousins and apologiced to me. To make up for the false accusations I was taken to hometown and got to think of my cousins punishment.

(word & excel parts), The Constitution
By Bryan Hartwick







There will be a 5% tax on everything you buy except food.
There will also be a monthly tax on house and your car. It
will a 10% tax on what you paid for it.
At least one person in every house hold has to vote when
election time comes. You have to vote on your representative, your senator, and the president. There will be three branches of government, the executive branch, the judicial branch, and the legislative branch.
Police have the right to arrest adults who aren’t obeying the law. If kids aren’t obeying the law then the police calls their parents. The army will protect the country from danger.
Laws can be made by people sending in ideas to their representative and then all the representatives will vote on it. The law can also be made into a law in only one state if the people in that state vote on it.
Representatives will be elected every year. The same representative can be elected every year if the people vote on him or her. The president will be elected every four years. The same president can also be elected every time if the people vote on him.
All three branches have the same amount of power. The legislative branch votes on a law and if it passes then it goes to the president who can sigh it or veto it. The judicial branch will make sure the law is constitutional and fair.
You must start school at the age of 7 or younger. You must at least finish high school but collage is optional. To get into collage you must finish high school with a C average.
Treaties can be made between other countries. The treaty must be good for the country. It cannot take away anyone’s rights. It cannot raise taxes or lower our defenses. We can also trade between other countries to help the economy.
Defenses will be made from the army, the navy, the air force, and the marines. The navy will protect the coast, the air force will protect the skies, the army will cover the ground, and the marines can protect everything.
To provide our country with energy we can dig oil or get some from other countries. We should also invest in renewable resources like water, wind, and geothermal. Scientist can also create energy from plants and solar energy.
No firearms will be sold to anyone with a criminal record. Children under fourteen can not hold a firearm. You must be at least eighteen to own a firearm. Drugs will only be sold with a prescription except pain killers and cold medicine. Drug dealers will be put in jail.
All of these ideas can be changed if they don’t work. Things can be added if needed. This constitution was made so all people will have equal right and this country will be great for all who obey the laws.

1. THE ESSAY: BY RUBEN


Physical education is as part of our curriculum .Physical education is the way some people learn which is called physical/special learners. Students would also learn to interact, cooperate, and work together. This would prepare us for real life, collage when we work with other people and when we play sports; sports are an important part of some student’s life. That’s why we should have more sports, equipment, and sport teams. Physical activity in school helps you being healthy and having sportsmanship.

Obesity is a really big problem in the US. Students are not having the right physical activities. To fight obesity kids need to exercise. They wont exercise at home because their to lazy. Even I use to be pretty obsessed until I saw many kids playing different sports like soccer, gymnastics, kickboxing, football, running, rock climbing, and swimming. But the one sport that interested me the most was running, like in track in field. So I started to get into it and started running miles in the park. The more I ran the faster I got. It was a good feeling when your faster than the people that where faster than you. After that I then run in a mile race in my school. I was so close on getting 3rd place, the other kid one me by one second, but at least I got medal for coming out in 4th place. After that day I trained even more and when I weight my self again I halved lost 20 pounds. What I’m saying is that school sports are a motivation for obsessed kids or regular kids.

With sports in our schools there can be future athletes. But for that we need sport teams. Kids will get better at the sports they love and before you know it they’ll be playing pro. Athletes even started playing at their schools. They now have a successful life by playing sports. We can end up the same way if we have sports to play and prepare us for an active life style.

With the different TV shows coming out in TV, kids don’t do anything active. That is why it is up for the schools to have sports, like in PE because students have to play along. I bet even Arnold Schwarzenegger use to play different kind of sports when he was younger. If they change our schools to have more sports and sport teams we may have a long and healthy life style.

My mom was working on a blanket that my aunt was going to pay her for. But my mom had only one day to finish it and she hasn’t even started on it.
My mom then took out the sowing machine and some wool. Then she started working on the blanket. An hour later and she had half way finished. But she had run out of wool. So she went to her room to get more wool. But she left the machine on .I was watching her sowing and it look interesting to me.
I then put my finger rights were the needle was. I was three I didn’t know what I was doing. The needle went right thought my skin. It hurt like hell. I started crying like crazy .My mom came and said why I put my finger in the machine. I couldn’t answer because I was crying. My mom then took me to the hospital and they sowed my finger. Now I have a scar in my middle finger to remember that day.

CONSTITUTION

The choices are respected but the laws of the country must be enforced. Judges will be present to every court. Every person will be given a fair trial in court. Every one will be able to afford a good lawyer. A lawyer will be present in court. A group of people will be decided to run the country and the best will be chosen from their educational record. They will be prevented from making a wrong choice like abusing their power and their will be allowed to create laws. A different group of people will be the ones who will decide the final laws of the country. A president will be prevented from abusing his powers of the country. The president will be elected by the people. The president will not have the full control of the country. Their will be a group in charge of creating the laws and hearing out the opinions of the laws from the people. The laws will be chosen from the people then passed on the other group in charge in making sure the laws are fair. Then passing them on to the president to have the final decision in passing or destroying the law.
The people will have their own rights. To protect their rights they will need laws. The people will get what they deserve if they break the law. The people will now then have to follow that law. We will be in charge of keeping the government in balance. We will prevent from the government getting out of control. Like the president becomes a dictator or they start to make laws people never wanted. The people will respect each others thoughts, rights, and decisions. With the help of the people we can tern this country to a better place to live.
The leader will be chosen by the promises they offer. They will not be chosen for the race or sex they are but by the loyalty for the people and their country. The leader will talk for the people and will be chosen from the people. We will have a leader who is willing to change the country. He will put the government to a balance. He will change the government’s way of thinking about war and other issues of these days. A leader who will listen to the people’s advice and judgments. But the people will make sure that no one including the leader to get all the power. They will not choose someone that they know who is going to be a bad leader just because he/she will bribe them with lies. For example,” If you vote for me I will give you all burritos”. The people then vote for him/her and they never get their burrito.



Declaration Of Independence:
In My Own Words:
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
In the history of the united states people have been separated in wars and they get separated for no reason, just natures way, That is wrong and people should be equal.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
People are equal bit they act a certain way that makes them different just by their nature. The government keep many truths a secret for are own protection and safe keeping of our enemies. If ever the government breaks the laws the people have the rights to change the government. If the government takes advantage of the people then the people have a right to do something about it.

DECLERATION OF INDEPENDENCE

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
A new government has to take action and provide security. All colonies have to have a government. People have been seen taking over a lot of states, like kings.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

The public has the right to know things. Kings could forbid governments to pass laws Ounce the king has refused laws to pass there for the government can not present the law again.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

The person in charge has to keep safety and the rights of people. The person has to be elected .
