Today I took a look at my own blog
from back in 8th grade. The assignment was to make a blog to record the
process of making a bottle rocket for Mrs. Cheney’s science class. The project
was shared between James O’Connor, Brad Spitz, and I. The title of our
magnificent creation was the Free Bird.
We put
our blood, sweat, and tears into this project… ok not really, but it was still
really fun to do. Our blog consisted of
our design and our research into what parts of the rocket worked the best. All of
this was created to form the rocket that not only won second in distance, but
also the best designed. I think we won some lollipop or something for that. Our
blog however, while funny was not very well written.
The
blog was written by three 8th graders nearing their end of their
career at Learwood, which for anyone that really understood how the grading
worked really didn’t mean a whole lot for how we did on this project. I like to
think that the reason it was so poorly written is because of how much work we
put in the actual rocket, but I don’t know.
Our
blog wrote about the design that was second to none. The design was a curved Perrier
bottle covered in red and white stripes, with a blue square with white stars
near the top. To top it all off we included a glorious picture of Uncle Sam on
there. We truly showed off our patriotism, capturing the essences of this fine
nation into our rocket.
While
it was a fun project, the blog will not be thought of as highly as say the
rocket was. Hopefully, we all learned at least a little from writing this blog.
