This Video has both the acceleration and velocity concepts. I chose this because it can you give you a good understanding while being catching and fun at the same time.

This video educates you on speed and velocity. it has equations and also explains what velocity it and how you work it into equations. It is very helpful when needing to understand something that you are having trouble with. with over course making it fun and interesting.

This video isn’t that amusing but I thought it gave a good understanding of how acceleration works and described it using a car which we use everyday so it would be relatively familiar to get to undertsand

I really enjoyed doing this project, I thought it gave you a chance to be creative with your writing instead of straight up facts. I likes that when I was writing I got the chance to really try and understand how a black slave would have felt even though I will never truly understand the horrors. My favourite part was being creative with how I got to present. I loved tea staining because it really made it look real. I don’t think I would change anything about this project I liked all of it.

Float Your Boat

  1. The problem of this experiment  is that my group and I need to construct a boat to hold a penny when placed in water. This boat needs to be made of tin foil, wooden stir sticks, straws and tape.
  2. If we make the boat with sides and the wooden stir sticks in the middle then the this structure should provide quite a bit of support because of the sides preventing the water from spilling in and the wooden stir sticks in the middle preventing the boat from sagging right away with the weight of the pennies.
  3.  During our experiment our boat held 34 pennies
  4. While designing our boat we thought almost raft like and then altered it a little bit. We first thought to put the wooden stir sticks across the bottom on top of the tin foil. This I think gave the boat the most structure because it prevented the boat form sagging whereas some boats did not have that support and their boat sank quicker.
  5. If I could change this boat a bit I would build up the sides more because in my opinion that was what got us in the end.

If I had to pick a favourite class this semester I would choose english. This class by far has been my favourite class to attend. The one thing that I did that I was the most proud of was my spoken word, during the writing process I really got to show deep emotion and my writing came from my heart not cold facts from the internet. One of the projects that I learned the most from was the synthesis essay because it taught me a lot of correct ways to write that I didn’t know about. I would not change anything about this class i enjoyed coming everyday to learn and explore the best part of English and writing.

During this workshop Enjoyed the parts where we learning information about Shakespeare and his life. I learned a bit about his techniques and the way he wrote and the types of pieces he wrote. I liked learning how he incorporated emotion into his writing and how he made the reader feel when they read.

How does one feel after suffering extreme racism?

In the poem “What Do You Remember From The Evactation?” By Joy Kogawa, the author suffers extreme racism as a child and is writing about how it affected her. When she remembers “families were made to move in two hours/abandoning everything, leaving pets/ and possessions at gun point.”(line 11,12,13) she doesn’t know at the time what may happen or how she is going to survive because she is so young. “who said “don’t insult me” when I/ proudly wrote my name in Japanese” (line 32,33) is showing that there was no respect for the Japanese and she is feeling shamed having the culture that she has. “ and I prayed to the God who loves/ all the children in his sight/that I might be white.” (line 37,38,39) the author finally realizes that she is suffering from extreme racism and she is not feeling good about and it is now wishing she was white because then she would get treated better than how she is getting treated now.

The tiny restaurant with the BIG punch

Cabrito, or as I would call it “food from heaven” is just one of the very small restaurants in the downtown Vancouver area. Once owned by my favourite aunt, this restaurant holds a specials place in my heart. Don’t let their small demeanour turn you away because once tried, this restaurant will magically become the top place to eat. The service is exceptional, and the food is always on time. From the moment you step in the door too the minute you leave, there is always a very positive social vibe in the atmosphere. Cabrito is a Spanish styled restaurant, which explains why you would see the magnificent mural of bull fighting on the wall. The tables and chairs are made of wood and steel, designed to feel modern rustic. Their forks and knives are very interesting because each one of them is unique with different textures, so you get a feeling in your hand and the feeling changes each time you get a new dish. The outside seating is open to the inside, but when needed can be sectioned off by an all glass garage door reading Cabrito on the front. Don’t even get me started on the food; it speaks for itself, you don’t even have to taste their scrumptious food the aroma all through the restaurant makes your taste buds tingle. The eating style of Cabrito is one of my favourites, tapas, you order a bunch of dishes and you share with everyone at your table so you get a bit of everything. My favourite dishes to order are starting with potatoes and aioli, which is pan fried jamon serrano wrapped fingerling potatoes with a garlic aioli. Then we order Escalivada, seasonal roasted vegetables topped with slightly melted Manchego cheese. Finally, we order chorizo; which is my personal favourite. There is a very large variety of food selections on Cabrito’s menu all of them authentically Spanish. It is a menu that is enjoyable for any palate. The price point of Cabrito is relatively affordable. Most of the appetizers are $5.00, but one or two dishes are $4.00. Everything else on the menu ranges from $6.00 to $15.00. These prices make this restaurant available for people will all sorts of budgets. Even though I have only been going to Cabrito for a short amount of time, just the thought of savouring their small but loud dishes makes my mouth water. Getting a chance to eat at Cabrito is remarkable from the easy going staff to the divine food. Cabrito would be my number one choice for anyone wishing for something a little different.
