Out of the Dust Reader Response

In this reader response, I learnt a bit more about really digging deep into poems, and finding again and again parts, and using them to create a thesis and crafting a reader response from that. The end product turned out well, and the images really supported the recording and my reading response, with good timing of the images. 

Ebooks or Regular Books?

In this speech, Aiden S. explores the many benefits of ebooks and why it should start to be used even more as an option to replace books. You can find the transcript of this speech here.

Smart Fitness Goal

I want to improve my mile time to 6:30 (15 seconds from last time) by the second quarter mile run, by practicing running and building up agility, so I can do better in the mile. My reward will be that I would be happier that I got a better time than last.

Formative Reflection

1. I would find the rate of change of the story, and then find where the “y” starts (for example “Jack had 500 buckets of water at first”). Then, I would use the slope and y intercept to make the equation.
2. I would first use two “x and y” values to get the slope (y2-y1/x2-x1), then use (y2-y1/x2-x1) to solve for the x intercept, by making 0 one of the x values. Then, using the the y value found in the equation, I would use that to form the equation.
3. I would take two “x , y” values from the graph (e.g. 0,5 and 6,11), and plug it into the (y2-y1/x2-x1) equation to get the slope. Then, I would look on the graph to see where the line touches the y axis. If it is not clear, then I would use (y2-y1/x2-x1) to solve for the x intercept, by making 0 one of the x values. Then, like before, I would plug it into the equation.
4. I would place 0 into the x value in the equation, then solve for y. That would be my first point. Then, I would place another number in the x value, and solve for y. Then, I would have two points, and I would graph them.
5. If I am given a table of values, I would just take two points, plot them, and draw a line.
6. To derive y=mx+b using similar triangles, I would draw a triangle with the hypotenuse on the line on the graph. As all triangles that are similar to the triangle I just drew, I would find the two outer lengths of the triangle, which would be the slope. Then, I would see where it crossed the x axis. However, if I knew the slope, then I would know that all the triangles on the line would have the ratio 2:3 for the rise and run.  Then, I would know that the right triangle that (0,b) and (x,y) forms would have the ratio m:1. I would know that the horizontal side of the triangle is “x”, and “y” length of the triangle would be y minus b (y intercept). I would then know that (y-b/x)=m/1, which simplifies to y=mx+b.

The Most Nutritional Ramen

In our class, we had to create a healthy ramen recipe, and then find the nutritional values of the meal, and if there wasn't enough vitamins or macronutrients, we would change it to accommodate the allowance. As I really liked beef, I decided to make a ramen, that was healthy with beef. I used "fat secret.com" to find the nutritional values of my meal, and determined the amounts of each item by typing the ingredients and amounts in.

I used another website to find the daily macronutrient allowances daily for an average male adult.  It was this:

Protein - 68g

Fat - 69g 

Carbohydrates - 344 carbs

In total, my recipe had to get over 1/3 of the daily allowance. I almost did it:

29.26g of fat,

47.72g of protein, and

88.62 of carbs.

The extra 30 grams of carbs would be made up by eating a slice of bread with the ramen, making it:

118.62 grams of carbs. 

Here is the recipe: feel free to use this to cook your ramen!

Beef and Ginger Ramen

Ingredients

1 boiled egg

1 dessert spoon of pickled ginger

1 teaspoon of hot Sauce

15 leaves of baby spinach leaves

1 cup green onions

About 10 thinly sliced beef hotpot strips

1 cup of sugar snap peas (about 10)

1 packet ramen noodles

1 teaspoon sunflower oil

1 slice of lime

8 small slices of ginger

Seasoning (not all should be used)

• 2 tablespoons  onion powder
• 2 tablespoons  ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons  garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons  ground black pepper
• salt, to taste

Recipe:

1. Firstly, take 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.
2. Mix the seasoning ingredients together, then add the necessary amount to the water for taste.
3. Add the ramen and cook till ramen is finished cooking.
4. Take out a saucepan, and fry the hotpot strips on a pan using the sunflower oil.
5. Then, fry the sugar snap peas with the beef oil leftover. Add the ginger and spinach leaves and continue cooking till cooked.
6. On the side, boil an egg, and when ready, take off the outer layer and cut in half.
7. Place ramen and soup in a bowl, and add egg, and chopped green onions.
8. When the beef is cooked, add the sugar snap peas, spinach, and beef to the bix.
9. Add the pickled ginger, hot sauce, and a squeeze of lime.
10. Garnish.

Ellis Island Reflection

1. I think people felt relived upon their arrival at Ellis Island, as they had gone on the ship for a very long time, and also spend all their money getting there, so once they got there it would have been quite relieving to find that you were near/on shore.

2. I think the screening process in the immigration would be very complicated, as many people would be arguing with some inspectors to seal their place in America. Also, it is quite easy to get sick on the boat, and because of that they would be deported back to America.

3. I knew we were taking a "ship" to go to another classroom, and I didn't really know what was going to happen, but when we got to the other classroom to do the "immigration" simulation I wanted just to get through.
