booksnaps is a more fun way that helps us to keep tracking what we read and what we learned from the book, here are my booksnaps for book”Uprising”

Physics: What is a Force?
Force:
-Simply put, a force is a push or pull, or forces have both size and directions, a force can change the acceleration of an object when you see a change in an object’s motion, that is the change motion created by a force. Scientist express force using a unit called the Newton (N), Newton is named after Issac Newton.
Issac Newton, Newton is named after Issac Newton in recognition of his work on classical machines, specifically Newton’s second law of motion
-All forces act on objects, for any push to occur, something must receive the push, same as pull, something will receive the pull.However, a force acts on an object doesn’t mean that motion will occur. For example, the force you are exerting on the chair does not cause the chair to move, the chair doesn’t move because the floor is also exerting a force on the chair.
Net Force: the net force is the combination of the forces acting on an object, the way you determine the net force depends on the directions of the forces, For example, if two people are moving a car to the right, two-person could be either pulling or pushing or one person pull another person push, suppose two people are pushing the car in the same direction (right) , then one person is stronger, so the car receives more forces, suppose he/she is pushing 25m/hour, and another person is pushing the car with 20m/hour, then the way you determine the answer is to add both velocities together, which will be 25m/hour+20m/hour=45m/hour, then the car is moving 45 meters per hour.
It could be forcing in the opposite directions, suppose two people are fighting for one doll, both of them are pulling, but in the opposite directions, suppose one person is pulling to the right side, and another person is pulling to the left side, but one person is stronger in which caused an unbalanced situation. Suppose the stronger person is pulling to the right side with 12N, and another person is pulling to the left with 10N, then 12-10=2N, the stronger person will win the doll with 2N stronger.
Unbalanced forces and Balanced forces: an unbalanced force is caused by a stronger force against the weaker force, like a bicycle, it can never be balanced if unless you don’t change direction and keep a constant speed, but it is almost impossible.a balanced situation is when two forces that forcing an object to the opposite directions have the same force, they are equally strong.
Jane Eyre Book Summary

2017-2018 L&L Unit 1 Reflection
In this unit, we explored about News article, this unit included news article writing and annotation.We have done several activities that improved our news writing skills, which are many, but similar, through those activities, I’ve learned a really important skill, which is an article shouldn’t be written in the first person. Of course, I’ve learned other things.
Over this unit, we did many annotations on some articles, I’ve improved a lot at annotating articles, at first, I was struggling at that, but with over practice through classes and homework, I’ve become a better at annotating news.
The ways that make your annotation better is to categorize your commands and separate commands by colors, use 5Ws+H..etc annotating articles helped me a lot at understanding and analyzing articles, which is based on criterion A.
For the final project, we did news articles writing, we grouped together and combined each person’s article into one newspaper, our topics are focusing on biggest problems in the community that make people anxious, or make parents anxious, such as food quality, cyber addiction,and there are 3 more topics, which is Recycling issue, Littering and water pollution, these three topics are focusing on the environment around our community, which is also problems that people worry about,and my topic is about recycling issue,some people really care, however, my article is for those people who do not care and try to convince them.
This unit is the first unit of the year, if I would grade how I felt over this unit to 10, maybe I would give it a 7 because at first, I was struggling on annotating articles, but then I finally handled the situation. However, Overall, I felt great through this unit, I like those activities we have done, especially news articles writing, in addition, I also really like reading part, we have 10 mins reading time before class every day in which our writing skills and reading could be improved.
L&L unit one
On Octobober,5th,2017 we have completed language and literature first unit, over this unit, we were focusing on news article writing.
Activities we have done through this unit:
-5Ws+H
-News article writing
-Annotations
-Compare and Contrasts
-Take notes using Turbonotes online
News Annotation
Compare & Contrast 2 Similar News Stories
Similarities:
Both two articles are focusing at Hurricane Harvey and how is the US affected, both two articles are focusing on the same two affected states which is Houston and Texas because Houston and Texas are the most affected area
Both are also focusing on the statuses of Hurricane Harvey, such as categorization of Harvey and its wind speed, how is the storm unusual, and lastly, how did its wind speed and storm change over time and how it was expected to change; both have the same information on the statuses.
Both articles mentioned about the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, he claimed that everyone has to work together to rebuild the affected state.
Differences:
Even though both two articles are focusing on the same affected areas, but the statuses of how they are affected are a little bit different caused by the different update meant the time of two articles. One is released on September,28th, 2017, and the other one was updated by 30th, August 2017, such as the older article says the city had received 20 inches of rainwater, but the newer one says the city received 24 inches of rainwater.
The newer article explains better and more detailed. For example, both two articles talk about the category of the storm and tropical storm, but the newer one explains more detailed, it talks about what speed the wind is called “Tropical storm” (39-73 miles), and how is the storm categorized by its wind speed.
One article is also focusing on rescue effort, such as “Texas Governor activated 12000 national guards, and state guard troops, other states also activated emergency workers in order to help those
