Literary Response #1 "Farewell to Arms"
I am excited for this cycle of literary responses! I have chosen to read "Farewell to Arms" which is by Ernest Hemingway. "Farewell to Arms" is a literary war novel written about World War 1. This book has a few main themes. The first is that war is a very grim reality. The second theme in "Farewell to Arms" is that there is a relationship between love and pain. The main idea and the themes are the same in this novel.

OHpedia Project Final Reflection
How was the OHpedia project important to you?
The High School OHpedia project turned out to be very important to me. I learned a lot about the post WW2 economy and the life of the American people at that time period. Doing this OHpedia project I ran into a few issues with my partner. We worked through them and I found that the OHpedia project helped me develop patience skills and also skills to help me work through problems. I also learned a lot while I was reading and doing the activities for my friend's lesson plans.
How did your expectations of what you could do as a learner change throughout this project?
My expectations of what I could do as a learned changed for the positive as I worked throughout the OHpedia project. I learned how to balance my time correctly as I worked around issues that came up. I also learned that I have a lot of good ideas when it comes to project work.
In what ways did you become more persistent or tolerant throughout the process?
I learned that tolerance of others is necessary when it comes to working in a group. I also found that the easiest way to deal with issues with team members is through kindness.
What satisfied you most about this project?
I was very satisfied with all of the information that I learned during the OHpedia project. I have learned so much about American History and how American history has affected American people in the past and now.
What things about this project really matched your style of learning?
Being able to watch videos on my benchmarks really fit my style of learning. I am a very visual person and I like to relate my readings to videos or pictures. I liked the Wiki format that we used and it really helped my style of learning.
What will you always remember about this project?
I will always remember how I learned to overcome my issues that I ran into while I was doing my project. I will also always remember the information that I learned. I feel that doing project work help all the information stick into my head.

Reflections 3/2/11
Today has been very productive. I read and completed the assignments for two lessons. I first completed Hunter and Nathan's lesson and assignment which was on World War Two, Vietnam, Cold, and Korean Wars. I then completed McKenzie and Kylie's lesson which was on the Industrial Revolution. Tonight I have to complete Mira and Taylor's lesson and I also have to start on my standards paper. I am writing about the Industrial Revolution for my paper. Today a new student started! Her name is Sydney and she used to live here but now she lives in South Africa. We are really excited to have her as an addition to our OH Community. We has a special guest come to OH today. Mr Sung, who is a professional violinist came to preform for us. He also talked to us about the properties of sound. He also talked to us a little about music theory.
