I have had many great times at Computech. I made many new friends and I played on the basketball team. My greatest experience is playing on the basketball team. I really enjoy basketball and I play it all the time. As soon as I heard that there were going to basketball tryouts, I immediately got the paper and had my mom sign it. The tryouts were not as hard as I thought. They were pretty easy for me, because I already new the drills. Although I wasn't the best on the team, I was happy for just being on the team. Making the basketball team was my greatest experience for me.
      My worst experience was being really shy at the beginning of school. I was embarrassed because I had no friends I could talk too. I met my first friend at Computech in my P.E class.     

Today I will tell you about the Colombian Exchange. The Colombian Exchange was a big part of history. The Colombian Exchange was when people traded goods all over Europe. In my Core Class I learned that this had many positive effects and a couple bad effects. In my history book there is a whole section about the Colombian Exchange. My history book says that there were a few positive effects and a couple of bad effects. One good effect was that people received many new items and goods. Some people got treasures and gold and others traded thier goods.  

       My favorite station at the Zoo was the one about the owl. At this station I had to put this object up to my forehead and adjust this other thing to where I could see this white object in front of me. Its hard for me to explain, but it was pretty fun. My group went to a couple of stations, but I don't remember some of them. My favorite was the owl station. The Zoo had many stations, but our group didn't get to do some of them because our group was having a hard time looking for everyone's animal. My partners and I couldn't find our animal, The Egyptian Tortoise, anywhere. 
       Some other stations that my group went to was fun. Another fun station was the Dino Dig. It was fun too. In that station, I had to dig up fossils from the Ground. My group had to use really small shovels. This station was fun and exhausting to me at the same time. Another station my group went to was the station that taught us about the beaks of the birds. In that one we learned how different beaks helped birds get different foods and other animals. Out of these stations the one I disliked the most was the beak one. It was kind of boring, but the competition was fun. The Zoo trip overall was O.K. I think that it could have been better.

   The Inca and the Aztecs' fall or end was similar in many ways. One way is because of war. They both fell because of war. Both the Aztecs and the Inca were attacked by the Spanish. The conquistadors attacked many of thier tribes and took the gold and thier land. These battles lasted a long time and killed many men in the battle. This made the Aztec and the Inca weak. Another reason for thier fall is because of the new deceases that the Spanish brought to the Inca and the Aztec. The Spanish brought deceases like smallpox's and other illnesses. The Inca, nor the Aztec knew how to heal these illnesses. 
       In Conclusion the Aztec and the Inca fell in almost the same way. They both fell because of the Spanish and because of new illnesses. The Aztec and the Inca were great civilizations, but both fell because of the conquistadors.  

     I don't really have that much ''great'' moments in the seventh grade, but my best moment is when I made the basketball team. I made the team and I was very happy because it was my biggest achievement in the seventh grade. I wasn't as good as some of the other guys, but I made the team and that is all that mattered to me. I wanted to try out for baseball too, but I got sick during the try-outs and wasn't able to go to school. I was a little disappointed because I like baseball almost as much as basketball. Another great moment that I had was making new friends. This year I made a really good friend that helped me in a lot of troubled moments.

  I think the Mayan Collapsed because of over-demanding rulers. I think the Mayan in the lower class had enough of the ruler and his demands. I think they stopped doing what the kings told them to do and they stopped farming. They probably stopped doing things that were important to living and other things. This is probably why there are no Maya anymore. I think that the Maya left thier cities and went their own ways. Maybe, they were forced to leave because they wouldn't follow the kings demands. 
   Another way the Maya could have collapsed is because of warfare. They probably killed each-other. 

I am a hunter-gatherer and I have been moving south all of my life. All my people and I have had to eat were animals. Nothing to eat, but thee animals we've had to hunt. I have been walking for a while now and I am very tired. My people and I have come across a place that has many plants that we could eat. Some of my people think that we should stay here, but some say that we should keep going. I think that we should stay. One reason is because there is many plants here. These plants could last for a long time. 
      Another reason why is because I would not have to walk no more.

   The best book I've read this year is Crispin. It is a good book that takes place in the middle ages. It is one of the best books I've read this year and it is probably my favorite. It had a good story and the projects I had to do on it were fun. Everybody that I know has read it and I think that they would agree with me that it is a good book. I have only read a couple of books this year, but none of them were as good as Crispin. Crispin is also an award winning book. This book is about a boy who has to leave his town because he proclaimed a wolfs head. After he leaves, he comes upon an abandoned town and meets a large man that goes by the name of Bear.

   The Scientific Revolution started a long time ago. It started during the Middle Ages. The Scientific Revolution is a very important part of history. It is the period of time when people started to really think about science. During this time many discoveries were made. Many discoveries of planets were important. Scientist discovered how the earth and other planets move around the sun and how the law of gravity works. Many scientist were put under house arrest and even got killed by church authorities for writing about thier therois and other ideas. Sir Issac Newton was one of the best scientist of his time. He discovered so many things about space and the other planets. Another reason the Scientific Revolution was important was because many scientist discovered medicine.

    Spring Break is coming up and I am really excited. I like vacations the most because I get to stay home and do things that I like to do. One thing that I do is play Call of Duty. I am trying to get all the gold camouflage for all my gins and I am looking forward to playing basketball in the park. Another thing I do on vacations is play with my younger brother. Sometimes we play the ps3 or go to the park and play sports. Another thing we do is watch TV. We play soccer or basketball. Sometimes we toss a football around. 
    Sometimes my friends and I play Call of Duty Black Ops 2. We invite a lot of people and we go into war. My friends and I started a clan. The only people that are aloud in is if they are our friends in school. I am pretty good at Call of Duty but my friends are a lot better than me. They are so good that they have completed most of the challenges in the game. Sometimes I play a one vs one with a friend or with some random person online.
