Acid Rain and the Effects of our Monuments and Churches The two controlled experiments that I chose to do‚ do not involve trees or plants‚ which I think a lot of people will be doing. I wanted to explore the devastation that acid rain does to our historic monuments and beautiful churches. My first controlled experiment is based on the Statue of Liberty. It is made of copper so I am using pennies in my experiment. (nps.gov. n.d.) My observation is that acid rain corrodes metals

Claudia Robinson August 19‚ 2015 PR #1-Term 1 “Before She Died” Karen Chase Many thoughts run through my head when I read “Before She Died” by Karen Chase.

The simple phrase “I look at it for you” (Line 1) sparks my passion about friendship‚ separation‚ and later in the poem‚ the afterlife. The tone Chase delivers is so heartwarming because it is a result how deep the friendship or relationship

We learned how to become an efficient and effective learner. What I learned from
