toc =Student Reflection= Two things that I have done well this year are:

Two areas that I need to improve are: My L.A marks and work quality and also My S.S marks and quality.

My goals for the rest of the year are : To try and improve my mark in every class by at least 5%, I know it will be hard but it want to try.

My goals for becoming a better learner: My goal is to study more for tests and also to get all my work done on time and done slowly not rushed.

=Language arts= In Language Arts (L.A) we have been working on many different projects and writing pieces and I will now post them in this wiki below this writing. This is a picture of my hockey player 3D project that I did based on bobby hull.

This is one of the versions of my hockey player project: ** __Bobby Hull__ ** The great hockey player bobby hull was born the year 1939 on January 3 in Pointe Anne, Ontario. He played his little league hockey in Belleville. He then played junior hockey for the Black Hawks and the St Catharine’s Teepees in the Ontario Hockey Association. Afterwards he joined the Chicago Black Hawks when he was 18. when he started out on the black hawks he first used the number 16 and then he switched to the number 7 after that he changed into his famous number 9 jersey. The reason he switched the number 9 was in tribute to his childhood idle Gordy Howe. Then he got his chance, the black hawks were going to the Stanley cup. So in 1961 he and the black hawks got to go to the Stanley cup.

Now bobby played with a partner and his name was Stan Makita. Now he and bobby had a trick that they did and that was they went and curved their hockey sticks so that the hockey puck would veer of at strange angles and with his and Stan’s ability to use the unpredictability of the curved blades to their advantage, they where almost invincible on the skating rink.

Then soon Bobby Hull got mad that he had such a low pay even when he was a hockey superstar so he said that he would switch to any team for a $1,000,000.00 contract so the Winnipeg jet’s went and said they would give him a 10 year contract for 1 million that he asked for so he agreed so now bobby hull was on the Winnipeg jets and Stan was there also so when they got and the ice they were called the golden and silver jets, golden because of bobby hulls blond hair and amazing speed and silver because it go’s with gold like pancakes and maple syrup. Because bobby joined the jets he was allowed onto the Canadian team for the Olympics.

These are the sites that I used. []

 * __Reflection__**

My Issac Asimov.doc: ** __Isaac Asimov__ ** Isaac Asimov was born some time between Oct 8, 1919 and Jan 2, 1920 and died in the year 1992 on April 6th. Isaac was born in Russia to a famliy of millers and he was tought how to speak english but with all his the lesson in english he never got any time to learn Russian. At the age of 3 his family moved to Brooklyn, NY. They became owners of a few candy shops and as a family busness every one at a young age was expected to work at the store for a few years after school and on summer break.

Whene he was five he could read and write english fluently. When he was a bit older he started reading science fiction pulp magazine. When he was 11 he started to try and write his own short science fiction stories. At around the age of 19 he started sending in his short stories to a few scince fiction magazines an after a while of getting some tips on how to improve his writing his writing started to get accepted by most of the magazines he sent them to. he attended some public schools in the area and he attended the boy’s high school in brooklyn.

After high school he applied for the Columbia University and was accepted. He graduated for Columbia University in 1939. after a few years he went and came back there for a Phd in biochemistry and he earned it in 1948. In World War ll he spent 3 years as a civilian in philidelphea naval yards naval air experimental station. After he spent nine months in the U.S army and getting an honurable discharge. In his short time in the military he became a corporal, because of his typing skills.

He then started writing a lot more and he became a hit book author writing many book including his famous law of robotics “[ 1] A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. [2] A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. [3] A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. At the age of 72 Isaac Asimov died of an illness. Later on it was revealed that he had contracted AIDs from a blood transfusion when he had his heart surgery. It was only revealed 10 years after his death by his family. and that is all. I think for this famous birthdays I could of done alot better but I did not spend as much time on it as I did on the other projects that I was working on.
