Percentage of final exam

most of the group thinks the final exam should be 10% of our grade. Lamar said it should be 10% because he does not want it to really affect his grade. Henry thinks that the final exam should be 30% because he wants to higher his grade in history. Jamar said he wants the final exam to be worth 20% because he wants to keep his grade the same if he does not d that good but if he does do good it will create a greater overall grade. Lastly Jason thinks the final exam should be worth 10% also because he does not want this final exam to affect his grade.

Model UN

      Our day started at 8:45 when we got on the bus to travel to the Department of State for Model UN. When we arrived at the Department of State first we had to go through a tedious security check. Then we had to hurry to the opening ceremony because we were about 20 minutes late due to the bus' late arrival. After the ceremony we were divided into our different committees to start our debates and resolutions. Through debate and compromise our committee drafted 3 resolutions and we voted on one that ultimately brought everyone's ideas and resolutions together. Lastly, we had the closing ceremony and awards presentation to the the delegates that exhibited excellent collaboration and debating skills. As you can see we participated in the Model UN to help our public speaking and communication skills with other people we don't know.

      Overall we feel that participating in Model UN was a very good experience for not only us but all of our classmates. From this experience we learned that sometimes in life we will have to collaborate with people we don't know and/or understand. There were many things we like about Model UN including the freedom and being able to be treated like adults. Even though we had a lot of fun participating in Model UN we still have many questions. Such as how could we participate next year if our school does not offer a program for Model UN? In the future we would change the time of Model UN because we felt that we were at the Department of State for two days straight.
