class power point
We were working on a power point during class today, and everyone was doing pretty well, except for the talking. I was not talking, because I wanted to get my slides don't, which I die. my slides were on malaria, what it was, and how one could "prevent" it. others were working together on slides, and others were just doing slides so we had more than one subject on multiple slides. We were working on this power point the whole class time.

conversation
today we talked about the sheet that we are doing in class, and we only got to question one. we only got through question one because we spent twenty or so minutes talking about each part of the question. I still have to take my test on the religions, and I'm planning on taking that test sometime in the rest of this week. If I don't get the test in this week, I will do it next week. I'm supposed to do it in class today, but I never got to it. So, I am doing it in class on Friday.

WebQuest
We started a web quest, and mine kept getting frozen. I kept restarting it, but every time I got farther, it would freeze. I'm going to try again when I get home. we also got a worksheet to do that is due next week I'm pretty sure. I'm going to try to get the worksheet done tonight or tomorrow, so I don't have to worry about it at the last second. everyone was in groups, except me and Grace. We always pretty much do all the work out of the whole class; so, we worked alone, which is okay with me.
