Todays Class's
The 1st class of this fine wed morning was computer hardware.
I was working with Amanda and John; In this class we took the computer components out of the computer then looked at each peice. I learned about how the computer works with the motherboard and how everything is linked by the IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics.) - these are the grey wide but thin cables linking up to the major components; EG: CD-Rom Drive.
We had to do some safety things too, we used anti static wrist bands with small crocodile clips (these are to link up to any metal part on the computers "shell") we also stood on red mats, this was to stop the friction coming from the carpet up threw out body's and shocking us when we use the PC.
Then after it was all rebuilt and put back together, we filled out a task sheet on what problems etc we had on the computer.

Great Scottish Inventor
Alexander Graham Bell
Hello Mr Bell, good of you to join me:
Hello Graham, thanks for having me:
Graham: So tell me a little about your child hood?
Bell: well, i was born in Edinburgh on march 3rd 1847 and stayed on a street called "south Charlotte street" i had two brothers but sadly one died when i was was 21 and then the other when i was 23 because of the decease tuberculosis. then my mother was going def so i took up form's of sign language.
Graham: So is it safe to say that because of your family's series of unfortunate events you came around with the idea of the telephone? which is a huge thing now a days.
Bell: Well actually its more of my whole life Ive been around speech, my father was a professor in elocution (this is the studies of formal speech) so i was always at his lectures and experiments, then one time when we were in Bell's father encouraged Alec's interest in speech and in 1863, took his sons to see an automaton exhibit, developed by Sir Charles Wheatstone based on the earlier work of Baron Wolfgang Von Kempelen. this was basically a model of a head which could speak, but very simple words and very few. so after this i kind of felt this is were i am going to make a difference.
Graham: Well since you made the telephone, it has massively exploded, everyone has what we call mobile phones... this is a hand held, no wires phone..
Bell: Really?? wow, i thought that i was just making something that would be good for my generation.. i guess Ive created something that's gone down in history *smiles*
Graham: Yes sir.. i do believe you have.
Graham: Their is not Meany other world famous inventions you have done that we all know and recognise but, that was defiantly the best one. - how does that make you feel?
Bell: Makes me feel very proud to contribute to the human race in a scale i could never have imagined.
Graham: Oh and i almost forgot to tell you! You are actually on the Scottish £1 note, the "pound currency came in after the shillings" this is to mark your 150Th anniversary from when you were born, i belive it was made in august 1997.. would that be correct?
Bell: I'm honored about that, i truly am. and yes, that would be about right.
Graham: Well thank you for spending this time with me to i could interview you.
Bell: My pleasure.. it was very informative about the future with my invention.

Collaborative Writing
When i went to meet them men who would kill my brother, i entered into a dark misty room... looked like something out of a gangster film i thought.. i threw the bag of money on the table and the man in the dark laughed and threw my brother at my feet, i picked him up and decided to get the hell out of their. just in the corner of my eye i see a shimmer of light over what looked like a gun... we self the diner and scrambled away to the car, as i sat in the car with my brother i couldn't help but think about that light it was like everything i did was an event to that one place.. so i went back in the diner, kicked open the door and looked in the room were the gun was.. no one was their .. just the gun, i grabbed it and ran, hugging it as if it was my true love.. weird i thought as it was just a gun. but when i got home i couldn't do anything.. it was as if the gun had magic power and was drawing my mind to it all the time.. what could i do but love this gun.. for it could be my salvation against the people who captured my brother!!!

THE Enchanted Forest Page 2
YOU CHOSE TO FOLLOW THE SMALL FOOTSTEPS!!
You gain your senses and think... that was weird.. you turn round as to walk away from it.. you see a strange house.. it has a well and everything outside it.. but how did you miss that??
You now face a decision... 
As you walk into the forest the tree's seam to get closer together, as you fight your way threw the branches and animals screaming at you, it suddenly becomes quiet.. as you continue threw the branches you can see another opening.
You get out of the trees, brush your self down take a few breaths and have a little wonder in this new place. you hear water, you rush towards it then as you get closer a huge blast of light appears, the stream now has fruit around it.. this fruit is glowing strangely.. you feel strange and as you try and shake this feeling off a small man appears in front of on of the fruit.. he says to you "Eat them and you will witness amazing things" he chuckles and slowly faids away into dust.
You gain your senses and think... that was weird.. you turn round as to walk away from it.. you see a strange house.. it has a well and everything outside it.. but how did you miss that??
You now face a decision...
Do you trust the small man and eat the fruit??
Do you venture into the house??
!!YOU DECIDE!!
