Malcolm's theories and predictions serve as a warning for a society increasingly dependent on new scientific developments. Although genetically engineered dinosaurs are likely to never happen, “Jurassic Park” is a reminder of what could go wrong with unchecked science. The relationship between dinosaurs and birds is also heavily featured in the book. At the time “Jurassic Park” was written, new evidence had just suggested that the relation between dinosaurs and birds is much closer than previously thought. Allen Grant makes several remarks on the structural similarities between the birds and dinosaurs and the velociraptors are given particularly bird-like features. From this novel, it is easy to understand how science can quickly get out of hand when not controlled. I thought that “Jurassic Park” was an interesting and well-thought out book on both the possibilities and dangers of genetical…

“Dinofours” by Steve Metzger was my favorite series of books I liked to have read to me when I was little. My absolute favorite book in the series was “It’s time for school!” I would make my mom read it to me everyday when I was getting ready to go to preschool for the first time. This book is special to me because it made me excited to go to school and learn at a very young age. As a reader, this book allowed me to enjoy learning how to read. As I got older, I would find myself coming back to the books when I could read them myself. This book also inspired me to read more books to find more stories that intrigued me as much as this one did.…

It all started on the first day of Night School. I was the first student to walk into the classroom, excited for a fun and interesting semester I was eager to meet my new classmates as well as to make new friends in night school. All was going well that night until Ms. Easton my night school English teacher began to speak to us about the ISU. She began by telling the class to forget about what we previously thought an ISU s for English class was. That was not what I was expecting. Earlier, that week in day school where I was already enrolled in the Grade twelve University English course, I was told by my English teacher that we had to read two novels and write two essays which compared the two novels and their various themes for our ISU. As she continued to speak my heart began pounding "an ISU where we don't have to read two novels and write essays about them? That doesn't sound right…" I thought to myself. I could feel myself getting more and more anxious until Ms. Easton finally explained that the ISU was going to be an Abstract noun of our choice. "An abstract noun? I quietly whispered to…

In a recent study at YHS 97.1% of students would rather start school later. Students should be able to start school later when they're awake. Students will have more time to eat in the morning instead of starving all day at school. Students will come with more energy instead of being dead at school. Students attendances would improve and reckless driving wouldn't occur so often. If school started later the increase on grades and attendances would go up.…
Society is different in many countries, religions, and various leaders/presidents influence the rules that each country or state has. Around the world, there are many laws that people have to obey to have a safe community. People sometimes don't follow those rules in their community which leads to serious consequences . I think that schools should start later in the day, the drinking age should be earlier, and the driving age should be 18 years old and not 16 years old.…
Some people believe that the school starting time should be pushed back to 10 rather than 8. There are researches that state many reasons for school to start later. Some researches stated that sleepy teens getting behind the wheel is a danger, absence rates have dropped in many schools that have had this transition, and kids and teens would most likely get the proper amount of sleep each night. On the other hand, some people may argue that schedules would be pushed back. School would have to run later than 3:30, therefore people participating in sporting events would either miss school due to games, or run later at night for practices.…
The next day when I walked into school, everyone was gossiping about the big attack on Main Street. As I walked past the group of cheerleaders. I overheard one of them say something about a big dog who looked like bigfoot. “Bigfoot” I thought to myself. Yeah right, get real. As soon as she said that, I knew it was fake. I shrugged it off and walked to my first period. I didn’t think anything of it until I found out who was attacked. Turns out it was the same person I was with last night. Now my heart is pounding, I can’t even think straight. It’s like my whole body went numb and everything around me just stopped. How could my best friend be fine one minute and then next he gets attacked? Once everyone found out it was Andrew, everyone started…
Before 7th grade, I never actually believed in bad things. I just didn't think of them as things that actually happened to people. I don’t even know why I thought that, I was actually a pretty nice person.…
Before I walked into the classroom for the first time, my head was filled with questions. The night before I worried about what to wear, when to wake up, when to leave, and what my first day would entail. I was so excited to start my journey as a social studies teacher but had no idea how the day would go. As I walked into the classroom, I saw rows of desks perfectly lined up, facing a white board and a smart board. I scanned the walls and saw posters relating to government and psychology and even a wall displaying Virginia Tech images. I sat down and waited for my cooperating teacher to walk in ten minutes before first period was to start. I read over the bell schedule, checking to see how many classes I would have. When my cooperating teacher walked into the classroom, she greeted me warmly and made me feel more comfortable and confident to begin the day. The students began to fill the room and immediately a young man came up and asked “who are you?” I found throughout the day that the students were very interested as to why I was in their classroom. My cooperating teacher let me introduce myself in every class and the students were respectful and seemed interested. One of the most interesting parts of the day was seeing the different dynamics between classes. Although the same material is taught in each class, there were differences in the way each class responded and behaved. I had not previously thought about this and was glad that I got to see different behaviors in each class. Classes consisted of taking attendance, going over the homework, and working on a new worksheet or activity. I observed how my cooperating teacher dealt with excessive talking or misbehavior and how she taught the material. I feel that I will approach the material differently, but respect her experience and see how it works in her classroom. During the planning period I was able to ask various questions about teaching and my cooperating teacher answered each inquiry in depth. She…
