Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Call Each Other Unfit for Presidency
New York Times
Alan Rappeport and Ashley Parker, 10 June 2016
Who: Donald Trump & Hillary Clinton
What: who is better for president
When: Early June
Where: Nation wide campaigns
Why: trying to prove they are better for the presidency
This article was about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and the fight for presidency. The article talked about each candidate believed they were right for presidency and how the other was unfit. This occurred more frequently once both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton locked up their nominations this last June. These rivalries happened around the nation on both Mr. Trump’s and Mrs. Clinton’s campaign stops. This all happened because of the differences in the views of Donald Trump and Hillary CLinton and as a way to gain public appeal they found it easier to question each others’ actions.
This article led to questions on Trump’s campaign more than Hillary’s being as to how questionable Mr. Trumps allegations were, such as Hillary’s inability to say “radical islam” as a reason she is unfit for presidency.
I learned that Donald Trump changed his views on Planned Parenthood and safe abortion when Hillary Clinton agreed on them.
This information will not affect my life directly yet, not being allowed to vote I do not need to care for how unfit either side is for the presidency. However any and all voters should pay close attention so they know who is right for them as president.
Why is Hillary Clinton unfit for presidency for not saying “radical Islam?”
What changed your mind of Planned Parenthood and safe abortions?
How would Donald Trump “take us in the wrong direction on so many issues?”

Why is it important to learn CPR and maintain knowledge of Heart Health? +10
CPR is a very important tool to know in life along with heart health. CPR could save a child’s life, or a friend or family members’. To learn CPR is to learn a life saving way that almost anyone can learn and perform. Heart Health is another important thing to know so heart attacks and other heart related problems can be less likely to occur. Knowing how the heart works and how to maintain good heart health can prevent the need for CPR and lead to a better life.

How well did I do with the physical skills of performing CPR for the adult, child, and infant? +10
My group took three days to do all the physical skills to perform CPR. However, over these three days we probably learned more in depth than the other groups. I know the difference between chest thrusts and chest compressions. The prior being when a baby is choking, the latter when the baby is unconscious. Over the course I learned how many hands or fingers it was to whom you are giving CPR to, and the age groups. I for one believe you did well and teaching us how to perform the physical skills for CPR.

Where could I use CPR in the future and what jobs would require me to have such a certification? +10
CPR can be used anywhere in the future. If your child is choking you may have to use it in your own home. Even at a business dinner party, if your boss starts choking on his meal you may be the only one certified, and they would sure be grateful to you for saving their life. Not many jobs require people to be CPR certified. However, any health professional like doctors and nurses would be required to be CPR certified at least. Other jobs would be lifeguards where if someone drowns in the pool it is up to them to bring them back to life.

Why is it important to understand CPR procedures as they apply to the different levels of CPR victims? +10
CPR is more than just pounding on someone’s chest and screaming, “Live! [Darn] you, live!” CPR takes practice and has different forms and procedures for different situations. If the victim is a baby in cardiac arrest you would not use two hands like on an adult and then swab the mouth for the object they are not choking on. Just as you could not give CPR with two fingers to a choking adult, as that would do nothing for them. Not knowing the correct procedures for CPR on different levels of victims is as bad as you killing them yourself in most cases.

Explain what you did during your activity period and how you remembered the different skills involved? +10
We did many things during the period, and took time remembering the skills. Over the three classes that we did CPR, my group did adult unconscious and choking victims. The next day we did more adult and then kid victims along with the AED. On the last day we did babies and how to do CPR for a conscious choking, unconscious choking, and cardiac arrest. To remember all the steps I would repeat them in my head and work them over. Another way I would remember is watching the other groups to see what they were doing and think of how good or bad they were doing it.

Using the heart terms presented, explain the flow of blood from non-oxygenated blood to becoming oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. (Superior Vena Cava/Inferior Vena Cava, Right Ventricle, / Pulmonary Artery, Pulmonary Veins / Left Ventricle, Aorta. +10
The blood starts throughout the body and is pumped into the heart through the vena cavas. The Superior Vena Cava pulls from the upper body as the Inferior Vena Cava pulls from the lower body. The Vena Cavas dumps the blood into the right ventricle which in turn pumps it into the Pulmonary Artery. The Pulmonary Artery pushes the blood through the lungs where it is oxygenated. The Pulmonary Veins then take the blood from the lungs and pushes it into the left ventricle. The left ventricle then pumps the blood to the Aorta where it goes out to the body. This cycle repeats with every heartbeat.

1. What are your top 2-3 favorites that we read this year (can be poem, novel, play, short story, etc.)?
My two to three favorites were Macbeth, The Great Gatsby, and the The Night Thoreau spent in Jail that we read over the year.

2. What book/poem/play/etc. Would you suggest that we NOT read next year?
I suggest not reading A Rose for Emily next year.

3. Suggest 1-2 books, short stories, plays, or poems for next year. Give the title and author, and explain why you chose it.
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley shows the human ideology from two points of view and shows struggles of person against society and person against self, among other lessons and arguments that can be made throughout the story.

4. What are your favorite and least favorite assignments during the class?
The research project was my favorite because I learned more about Spongebob than I ever thought I would, but my least favorite was the research project from finding everything and putting it into words.

5. How would you change the class?
I would have more debates or discussions over major conflicts in the story and be able to set up arguments and defend opinions.

6. Overall, what do you think you learned this year in English?
Stories have changed over time and are not the one state readings that most think.

7. Overall, what do you think you still need to work on as an English student?
My grammar and spelling is an atrocious thing, though I have learned how to use the comma more, they still need work.

Quarter 4 Goal Analysis
My Quarter Four Goal was to raise my essay scores and study for the AP United States History exam. This was attempted by taking time in writing the essays slowly and thinking them out. Also by finding time to study so it is not all at once. Some of the notable events that occurred was that I would be studying for the test but doing other homework at the same time. Another was that I did not do the AP United States History studying when there was time to do them over times of little homework. Lastly, over break, instead of doing the homework, I spent time with my girlfriend and family.
When I was watching the videos I was also doing the homework from other classes. The trouble with this was that I was distracted when watching the videos. Making concentration, among other things, harder to do while watching. Though the stillness of the house was a great comfort while trying to concentrate on what the video was saying. Though I had time to do some of the AP United States History notes, I chose not to because I did not feel like working on them. I had more fun things to be doing, like spending time with family and such.
Overall I think I was successful in achieving my goal, being that my essays were given full credit and I got a four out of five on the practice test. I can still build upon when a reasonable time is, and shift it back from the due date more. I feel that over the time I spent in APUSH I learned more about the United States history. I succeeded in most of my goals and managed to do well in the class.

Quarter 3 Goal Analysis
My Quarter 3 Goal was to raise my essay scores and get my AP United States History notes done in a reasonable time before they are due. This was attempted by taking time in writing the essays slowly and thinking them out. Also by finding time to do the notes over time and not all at once. Some of the notable events that occurred was that I was sick on one of the days we did an in class essay, another was that I did not do the AP United States History notes when there was time to do them over times of little homework. Lastly, over break, instead of doing the homework, spent time with my girlfriend and family.
When I was sick the class had the in class essay where we used a notecard to study. The trouble with this was that I was sick when writing an essay. Making concentration, among other things, harder to do while writing. Though the stillness of the house was a great comfort while formulating thoughts and making words out of them. Though I had time to do some of the AP United States History notes, I chose not to because I did not feel like working on them. I had more fun things to be doing, like spending time with family and such.
Overall I think I was successful in achieving my goal, being that my essays were given full credit and I am not in a mad dash to finish the notes. I can still build upon when a reasonable time is, and shift it back from the due date more. As for a new goal, why not have keeping the essay grades up but start studying for the big test more. This will hopefully happen by taking time for the essays and using the resources to study for the test.

Goal Analysis Reflection
The Second Quarter Goal I set for myself was to “get better at the essays.” This goal was to decrease the time it takes to write my essays while increasing the grade of the essays. This was attempted by thinking out how and what to write the essay about. Then making chunks of time to do the essay. Lastly, sitting down and making the jumble of words, thoughts, and quotes into sentences, to paragraphs, to an essay. Sadly, this goal was not completely accomplished, looking through the American Politics Shaping by the Federalist Party 1790-1820, Democratic President Jackson?, and APUSH Midterm.
Starting with the first essay, American Politics Shaping by the Federalist Party 1790-1820, near the beginning of the quarter. This essay was successful in my goal as it got a 6/6 on the grading scale. This essay was done in a shorter time than the ones during first quarter but still getting a perfect grade. This essay as graded before the grading terms were fully applied to essay though. So in the future more facts and outside information would want to be used.
The second essay, called Democratic President Jackson?, is the beginning of a downhill slope. Unlike the essay before, where it was less time but high grade and no marks, this essay got a 6/7 with a few grammatical mistakes. This essay may have taken as much time to complete but the grade was worse. Though that grade may be after the “enlightenment” time where the rubic became more understood by the teacher, it is still a worser grade. So next time add more outside information to get a 7/7.
The last essay is the APUSH Midterm essay, written about slavery and and politics. This is, hopefully, the bottom of the downhill slope for my essays. This essay got a 5/7 so the grades continue to decrease, but was written faster than any other essay I have had to write. So as the time decreases the grade decreases too, failing the goals hopes. This grade was from not connecting the essay to enough outside information, with the two outside points, and not weaving the documents the essay. To achieve this goal, I have decided to increase time back towards the original time taken, round a six hours over a couple days, to, hopefully, increase the grade again.
Overall the goal was failed from my point of view as points went down even though the time needed decreased, a fifty-fifty goal finish. For the next goal I plan on having the essays’ grade increase along with chapter notes being finished in a much less rushed way like the past two quarters. The way I plan to accomplish this is by taking more time, not less, on the essays. Also doing the chapter notes whenever there is free-time to do them when other activities are not overly distracting. Hopefully this will increase my essay grades back up to 6/6s and 7/7s, and have more time during vacations to vacation and not doing APUSH.

Throughout the school year we have read poems and stories, along with essays and quizzes. Poetry, though hated by most students, opens the world to the variety of writing styles and lets the imagination run wild. This is important as the students can learn what they do or do not like from writing and lets them do whatever it is they feel like writing at the time, with no worries of if it holds to this rule or that rule. The stories help to make the past come more alive, like through the Crucible, where the Salem Witch trials are connected with the present day and given new light. The quizzes make students think beyond what is the normal capacity, leading to deeper and higher level thought in everyday life instead of skipping across the surface with “I don’t know” or, “the mirror is just a mirror” in Mirror. The essays build upon that and make it into longer, more elaborate thoughts, also helping to build vocabulary and vary word choice.
English can be used throughout life, and is an essential. Without being literate, or being able to make your words flow smoothly so people wish to listen, life becomes harder. Very few jobs want someone who can not think beyond the normal ideastream, and the jobs that do are more of the patty flipping ones. English will be used throughout my life for the duration of it. The patterns of this literature are simple. We read a book or story, usually have discussions during the book or afterwards, and then will write about the book or take an exam in some form. A different pattern I have noticed over the years is my reading comprehension has stalled. Growing since 6th grade and now hovering around a 12th grade level, the test no longer gives me new questions when I take it.
Over the course of the year thus far, I think I am at the liberty to say it has gone rather well. Not only have I made attempts to participate but have succeed in doing so. The short story on the fountain of youth comes to mind where I was the only student in my class to come up with a completely original idea on a symbol from that story. I find that humorous, but a job well done. Though I have believed that I was never great at English, being a slow reader and never truly writing. Nonetheless, I would enjoy writing in a creative story way.
We write so much because it grows our skills in reading and writing. Research papers help us to take information we are given and be able to write papers on it. The variety of reading is to expose us to the vast majority of different writing styles. Essays are the same as the research papers, being that you take a story and break it down to explain a point.
