Election Day

 I have had trouble uploading the picture, and I'm hoping that in class, you might be able to help me out with this.

 

This election scene had only a few people at the ballots this year, while last year, there were long lines of people waiting to vote.  A major reason for this was not only because last year was a presidential election, but it was also because Barack Obama was a candidate for president.  This had spawned a lot of controversy between Democrats and Republicans, and each party was desperate to make sure that they get the President they desired.  This year, this was an election between congressmen, making this far less exciting, and nowhere near historical.

Nailah Adam's History Benchmark

The History Benchmark for the first quarter of this year focused on Egypt and the lifestyles of a pharaoh in particular. The requirements for the benchmark was to  create a ceremony for the King Tutankhamen’s arrival at a legendary Egyptian place called Per-Wadjet. It is believed that they were the first of the Egyptians and their wealthy civilization of that time. The theme is the Summer Solstice (the longest day of the year),  meaning that parades, ceremonies and etc were needed to be plan.

Nailah Adam's English Benchmark

The English Benchmark for the 1st Quarter was focused on the book “The Odyssey”. We were newly presented in the beginning of the quarter with writing thesis statements/papers. The Key assignment(s) were to create a thesis paper arguing while your thesis is correct. The thesis were mainly based off of the characters in the book up to book 10 and why they acted the way they did. Many of the thesis papers focused on gender roles, glory/honor and the gods and goddesses.
