Hi,

In this post, I will be talking about the Student Blogging Challenge. I participated in all of the weeks. That Means I wrote a total of ten posts. I received two posts during the SBC. Both were in my Introductory post. My favorite post was probably week 8. That was the week in which I wrote about my country. There is a link here. It was my favorite post because I got to write about the country I live in which is America. I find this very interesting. The web tools I used to show creativity were probably Google Images as the only one. I used Google Images by using the filter and putting the photos in my post. My plans for my blog now are to write weekly posts and that is about it.

Now, I will begin the second part of this post. This is the audit. I asked my mother a few questions about my blog. The questions were, what were your first impressions, what captured your attention, what distracted you, what suggestions for my blog. She said that her first impression was good. She saw the background and said she liked it. Next, she said that the main thing that captured her attention was the pictures of my posts. Then said that incorrect grammar is what distracted her. Finally, she said that I should check my spelling and grammar.

Hi,

In this post, I will be talking about a recent update on Fortnite. In this update, there are challenges for items in Avengers. This is probably for the new movie Endgame. The challenges allow you to get free things like a glider, emotes, and Banners. The challenges are quite simple so they don’t take long to complete. I have completed 10/12 of the challenges with around 3 days left so it is likely that I will complete them.

Next, I will be talking about the game mode. It is called Endgame, overall, it is is a good game to play. There are two teams which are Thanos and the Avengers. The point of the game is to stop Thanos from completing the Infinity Gauntlet. If he does then the Avengers lose and the Thanos side wins. I have played the game mode and I didn’t really enjoy it as much as the other game modes but that might just because it is less competitive.

Overall, this update was great. In the begining, there was this cool Endgame/Fortnite trailer. Then there was the new game mode. That was probably the best part of the update. The game mode brought a new aspect into the game, and it was good to try something different even if I didn’t enjoy it as much. I still have fun playing for rewards like the XP and items which is another great part. The challenges make me want to play the game more.

Hi,

The population is around 323,995,528. The United States is in North America and borders Canada and Mexico.

Now let’s talk about the major cities, president, landmarks, and Flag of the USA. The president is Donald Trump. Some major cities would be Washington D.C with is the capital, New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Chicago. There are many landmarks some of them is The Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Hollywood, and the Empire State Building.

Finally, I will be talking about the History and Natural features of the US. On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was written and the revolutionary war started. The US won and then it became a country. The first president of the US was George Washington. The climate and plants are very different from the east to the west. In Hawaii, there is a tropical climate with many vibrant flowers. In Alaska, it is much colder with not many plants. On the Mainland US, The summers are usually hot and dry or humid (Depending on where you are). The Winters are cold and dry almost everywhere.

 

 

 

Hello,

In this post, I will be talking about the recent Clash Royale update. The update includes a new card which is the earthquake. The Earthquake is a spell card that is labeled as rare. The earthquake does a lot of damage to towers so it is very effective if the tower is low and you are trying to get the tower. The Earthquake is a spell that can counter swarms.

Other than a new card, Clash Royale also made rewards after you get trophies. Some of the rewards are emotes, gold, gems, and chests. This was really helpful because from the achievements I got my first legendary ranked card on my bed account. My bad account has been playing Clash Royale for a couple of years, so it was great to finally have a legendary.

In my opinion, it was great to finally have a system where I could get achievements after I level up in trophies. I really feel that this one single change made me much more interested in the game. I was thinking of quitting but when the update came out it really made me feel a lot more enthusiastic about Clash Royale.

Hello,

In my post, I will be talking about music. First I will be talking about an instrument that fascinates me. That instrument is the Piano. The piano looks like a big sculpture-like shape which black and white keys. The piano was developed in the 18th Century By a man named  Bartolomeo Cristofori. The piano is played by pressing the keys and reading the notes. The piano is classified as a percussion instrument.

Hello, I will be talking about my school day and any special events that happen at my school,

My school day starts off with homeroom. In Homeroom, we just take attendance and get ready for class. After Homeroom we have different classes every day. After the 3rd period then we have recess. After recess, there are two classes then we have lunch then recess. Then, I have two classes then the day is over. For school, I use my device for most of my classes.

Next, I will be talking about special events. One special event is the fun fair. The Fun Fair is this fair where the entire school has a tent and they do something to raise money. After I am done working I just go around.

 

Hello, and in this post, I will be talking about Fortnite.

If you haven’t heard of Fortnite it is this battle royale game. A battle royale is a game where you try to be the last one alive. The creator of this game is Epic Games. They have created many other games but Fortnite is by far the most popular.

The reason why I like Fortnite is that it doesn’t have gore. There is no blood, but, yes,  there are guns. Honestly, the game doesn’t really have items that help you in the game, but I like that because then the game focuses more on skill than how much things you can buy.

Fortnite has different skins in the game which are basically different characters that have an ability only special to that one character. The skins are only cosmetic items. The same goes for the different gliders, pickaxes, contrails, and banners. In Fortnite, the game has quite a few updated which take a while to do so that is one of the games only bad parts. There is also a voice chat so that you can talk to your teammates.

To do so I clicked on tools which should be just below the search bar. Then I clicked on Labeled for reuse. What everything that you click will vary depending on what the picture will be used for.

Hello everyone,

In this post, I will be talking about some of my best work from different classes. I will first talk about my Lesson 16 Wordly Wise test. This was my best test of this trimester in LA. I got 100% and that, in my opinion, was the easiest test even though I had a lot of things to do that night.

Next, there was my science homework which was on a packet called Nasa Connection Reading. The reason why this stands out from my other assignments is because this was Every time I completed an assignment on it it was a high grade. Also, the questions for it weren’t easy so I actually tried on it.

Third, I will be talking about my social studies presentation on Marco Polo’s travels. I remember that when I did this it took me about an hour and it was by far my best presentation this year. I wrote a good amount and didn’t do a bad job on it. I also tried hard on this and I do believe this is when I wasn’t able to play Fortnite so I had my mind clear of any distractions.

In math, my best piece of work would have to be the Metric Computations homework. On this paper I got 100% and I got no help from anyone. This homework paper was just more easier than others. On this homework I was able to do the questions quickly and correctly.

Finally, I will be talking about my Japanese Test. This one was 80/80. I have had way better grades, but this test had a lot more questions on it. There was not extra credit so if I had gotten one wrong then it would be a 79/80. This test I ken everything. Also, most of the words I didn’t have to study because I already knew. Also, I got every single hiragana correct.

 

Hello,

I will be talking about my favorite games to play in this post. I will first be talking about a game called Clash Royale. If you saw my last post I talked about that game. In this post I will just be talking about my experiences while playing the game. A couple days age I was just playing a game and I went against a hacker. The reason why I knew he was hacking was because he was placing a lot of cards at once. First he put down a Golem then a Pekka. Those are both cards in the game. Those are two cards that cost a lot of elixir to put down. Elixir is what you need to place cards down. I ended up losing and going to play a different game.

Next, I will be talking about Fortnite. This is one of the most popular games at the moment. Well anyway, if you have never heard of Fortnite it is a battle royale and it does involve guns ,but there is no gore. The main reason why I like Fortnite is because of the emotes (which are basically dances). Another reason why I like it is because you can turn on your mic to talk to your friends. The only thing is if you are playing with random people and your mic is on you have to make sure not to give your personal information. Fortnite is quite new, it came out about a year ago. Since it is very new the system for banning people is not that good. If you get into a game with a hacker, you might get banned even if you weren’t hacking. That is why you need to be careful and if there is anything suspicious happening with a player you should leave. Luckily, I have never found a hacker.
