Stanley's Family

I've been learning about Stanley's family in Reading. I learned about how his dad invented something so they started to get money and they became rich and the parents became millionaires. The topic reminds me of when I had a friend that was poor and needed money so I asked my mom and she started to help us buy things and selling them so she can become rich. Knowing about this topic helps me to help others when they need something or needs help. The part that is most confusing is that sometimes when your family doesn't have enough money sometimes some parents don't care. They just want their kids to do something so their family can be rich. The part I know the most about is when the parents doesn't put any effort so that the kids can go to school and eat.

Glorious Revolution in England

I’ve been learning about the Glorious Revolution in England. Knowing about this helps me know why England is mostly Catholic today. The part that I know most about is the unusual coronation when William and Mary got married; their crowns were filled with 2,725 diamonds, 71 rubies, 49 sapphires, 40 emeralds, and 1,591 large pearls. The part that is most confusing is why William married Mary. I’d like to know more about William’s voyage to England.

Great Revolution

I’ve been learning about the Great Revolution in Social Studies. Knowing about this topic helps me know why parliaments do more things in countries that have kings or queens. The part I know most about is that the Queen signed everything before a decision is made. The part that is most confusing is why there are kings and queens if there is a parliament that does everything. I’d like to know more about countries that still have kings and queens.

Writing Stories

I have been learning how to write a story in English class. Knowing about this topic helps me become a better writer and helps me express myself in writing what I feel. The part I know the best is following the steps to writing a good story. I'd like to know more about the difficulties about writing as a real writer. The part that is most confusing is trying to think of what to write about and trying to put your story together so it can be more efficient and well written.
