Last Two Days of School
Hey, I've bee having quite a past two days in Mr.Boyle's American History 1 class. Yesterday we learned about the preamble of the Constitution. Which is goes as stated "We the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish the Constitution for the United States of America. Each of these parts of the preamble holds its own independent purpose. For example when in the preamble "And secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." is stated it means that the Constitution was righten to ensure that we will always have our rights to liberty, and also so that the rights established here are forever passed on. During class we went around the room and in our own words told what each one of the phrases of the preamble meant and also how it worked or didn't work. I found this exercise to be quite demanding and challenging mentally, it also got me thinking about our preamble a little bit more.
Today in class we talked about "The Question of Representation" During this class we read passages from the Constitutional Convention. After reading the passages we had to take information from the reading and transfer it into which politician favors Proportional representation and which politician does not. After this part of the lesson we used a fake tweet builder to converse in the voices of the politicians we were pretending to be. In my case I was David Brearly he wanted to keep the equality of votes and was against propositional representation. So I then had to argue with James Wilson(Sam Ross) in 140 characters or less about our differing sides of propositional representation. Today's class helped us with with advancing our argument skills with only limited space to write. Our last two day's in Mr.Boyle's class have been educational and helpful to our class and study skills.

If high schoolers were researched in the future
In the future a group of people are studying high school students. One of the names of the high school students is Matthew McParland a high school student that graduated in 2015. The students must come up with three things to describe the high school student they are assigned to.
The first item that is chosen to describe me is a Boston Bruins hockey puck. I started playing hockey as a freshman in high school. I love the sport and is by far my favorite sport to play and watch. The puck would have a Boston Bruins logo on t because the bruins are my favorite sports team of all time, and you will never find a more avid fan then me. Nearly everything I own has something to do with hockey. Hockey alone takes up a large chunk of my life. This is why the student researching me would pick a Boston Bruins' hockey puck as their first item.
The second item that would be chosen to describe me as a person would be a Xbox 360. I'm a extreme gamer and video games tend to take up all of my spare time. I have been a gamer since a young age, I was influenced by Grandmother who passed away when I was four. All my friends know that i'm the biggest gamer around. Based on that video games have probably taken up the largest portion of my life. Video games are something I can't live without much like other people can't live without water.
The final item that would be chosen to describe me would be a radio. Music is one of the most influential things in my life. I love listening to music, and love relaxing and listening to it alone in my room. Music plays a important role in my life because all of my emotions are in the music I listen to. Like video games music itself is something I can't live without and hope I will never have to let go of. Thus this why a radio would be a sensible item to describe myself.
