Westing Game Stock Market

27ammonf on

Hello! Today I am going to be talking about how I investing in my classes stock market project.

Two of my teachers wanted to do a project which involved the stock market because of a character in the book the Westing Game.

We first picked up to 5 companies to invest a total of $20,000 in. Personally I chose Nintendo, GameStop, and Bitcoin. We started this project about a month ago with a spreadsheet that we would check about every week and see how our stocks did.

The majority of my classmates gained money and it got better over time. At the end for my bitcoin investment I spent $13.12 a share with over 100 shares. On May 25 each stock was valued at over $33. GameStop did very well contributing almost 50% more than I paid for the original over 40 stocks.

At the end of my stock journey I had over $12,000 made and was very happy with how the project went as a whole.

 

 

My Ted Talk

Hello! This blog post is about my experience making a Ted Talk within my class.

For my topic, I chose over fishing specifically of Blue fin Tuna. When I presented I made sure to do thinks like make eye contact and use my hands to show what I was doing.

I really enjoyed being able to talk about something that I enjoy which is fishing and fish in general. People did things from video games to pets and all sorts of great topics.

This was one of my favorite projects that we did throughout the year because we chose what we wanted to do instead of it being assigned it.

I talked about the cost of the fish the weight and many more specific things that contribute to the over fishing of this species. I also created a background using an app that put class uses called Paper by 53 and you can use different tools to make wallpaper and slide presentation backgrounds.

Overall, I would definitely recommend doing this type of presentation if you want to have fun with a couple friends or something else.

 

 

Thank you. Bye!

Tree Book

Hello! Welcome back to my blog post. Today I will be talking about a school project that I have been working on for 2 months.

On March 15th we started a project called the tree book. This book consisted of a salute to my roots, what we will do when the pandemic ends, a list of things we want to do, and collage and painting.

We worked with a local painter named Peg Gignoux. She helped a lot with the painting part of the book. We did some work with Akua ink which is when you put something (in this case a leaf) on some jello type surface and then put a paper on top of it and push it down. That will put a colorful leer on your paper. Then we cut the paper and put the leaf onto a branch that we used by putting some thicker paper on the base of the tree.

After we did this we snipped some green paper and made it into grass for the bottom of the tree. We wrote paragraphs honoring someone that is very close to us and that we love.

We wrote a list of things that we wanted to do in our life. This for me consisted of things like skydiving, visiting Jerusalem again, getting a job I love, and other things.

Overall, this has been a really incredible experience for me and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you to Peg Gignoux and Patti Donnelly for this great experience.

 

Down below  this writing I will have two links one of the links will be to the Frank Gallery were my book was shown to my parents and classmates. The other link is to Peg Gignoux’s website. (She helped us with all of the painting and glueing.)
