Maks’ Life Readings

This week I took my skills to the ice. I tried 3 different techniques and shots. My first technique was skating, my second one was standing still, and my third one was shooting off the move. I had a lot of struggles because it’s harder to execute on the ice while moving so I had to adjust how I do the shot. I ran three tests and the first one, shoot while on the move I would give that a 4/10 because it was very low and not very powerful. My second test I did standing still I would give that a 7/10 because it was what I was familiar with. The third test was off the move and I would give that a 10/10 because it felt the most comfortable and I use it the most, plus I got the most power. I accomplished doing the shot repeatedly for good power and height. Thank you for reading my blog and that is all for my 20% project.

My mom is the best mom in the world. I love my mom for so many reasons one of them being she always is somebody I can trust and ask if I need help. Another reason why my mom is the best is because she cares about me and what I do even when I do stupid stuff no matter what she still loves me. Even when I make bad decisions with my friends or downloading Snapchat for the third time she still loves and treats me the same. My favorite reason is because she is funny and likes when me and my brother make jokes even though they might be inappropriate. My mom is also very I will always love my mom no matter what and I want to wish my mom a very happy Mother’s Day.

Hi I’m Maks and for my 20% project I’m learning how to do a toe drag release. This week I wanted to make progress on my trifold so I filmed my video that I’m going to use at the evening event then I just went to town on my trifold. I’m doing a picture based trifold and use my speech to tell the story . I had a couple struggles with filming but I got a good one. My trifold I am going for a bright and fun design to draw people’s eyes. I accomplished filming my video and doing my trifold. This week I had to change my plan because I think the trifold/speech is more important then getting better at my skill. I left off at doing my trifold I’m going to be trying the shot on ice and testing three different techniques to make it perfect. Thank you for reading my 20% project week 5 blog.

A long time ago, in a city called Hamburger Mania, it was full of very vicious small man-eating puppies. It was a normal day in the town when a young puppy named Kole that was felling under the weather. Kole called in sick to work at the supermarket. When all of the sudden Kole gets a huge growth spurt and becomes KOLEZILLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! He rose up from his bed and he felt like destroying so he smashed his whole apartment complex by devouring it all next he went to the supermarket and tore that place down in an instant. Then a great puppy named maks took his crossbow and slayed KOLEZILLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! The whole entire city is now named Maks village after what heroic thing he did that day.

Hello companions my name is Maks and for my 20% project I am doing the research of hockey tricks! My progress this week was very boring but helpful. I watched two videos and read two articles. Throughout the process I took notes on notability about Connor Bedard. The things I wrote down were about how to do his special signature trick called the toe drag release. He is the best rookie in the league with 22 goals which is the best for rookies. I found this information on YouTube and NHL network. Next week I hope to take some of the information that I learned this week and use it in my own hockey career along with a lot more of information to follow. This week’s success was getting a lot of notes on the toe drag release. My goal for the next coming weeks are to make different observations on the subject.

If I were to be able to bring three people to dinner I would bring Wayne Gretzky, my dad, Trevor Zegras over a nice Chinese food dinner at Yang Ming. One reason why I want to bring these people because we would probably have the best hockey conversation of my life. The second reason i would want to bring these people is because they seem like great people(i know that Zegras and my dad are good people because i have met them but I’m just assuming that Wayne Gretzky is a great person) i love when people are nice and genuine about ALOT of things. Another reason why i want to have these companions is because I can learn a lot from them they are two of the faces of the NHL.

If I had the opportunity to pick any job, I would most definitely pick a National Hockey League (NHL) photographer. One reason why I would pick this profession is because when I play, it is the best feeling ever when you go to check the photos from the game and there is a perfect photo of you making a play. The second reason that I would pick to be a NHL photographer is because I have played hockey my entire life, so I know when a player would want to have their picture taken. The final reason I would want to do this is because I’m a very good editor so if the photos need any quick little changes so I think I can be very successful in the area of expertise. I also think it would be great to have a job where I got to watch hockey everyday.

This month I read Ban This Book by Alan Gratz. I have not finished reading this book yet ; I am currently on page 96. The book is about girl in third grade named Amy Anne. Her favorite book was banned from the school library. She decides to go to the school board meeting to oppose the book being banned. But, when she gets up to speak on the podium, She freezes up. In embarrassment she runs away crying. Her dad try’s to cheer her up by buying her the banned book. Then, she starts a banned book library with the help of her friends.

I love this book because I learned alot about censorship. My favorite character was Amy Anne because she showed a lot of pride. For example one line that shows this is “ I don’t care how much I takes, I’m getting this book back.” This quote shows how she has pride because she will do as much as she can to get the book back.

My favorite quote from this book is “ I love to read more than anything.” I love this quote because it shows that she loves to read and when she got the book taken away she was very sad and she just wanted the book back. I look forward to finishing this book and finding out what happens with her library.

Once upon a time there was this really great hall of fame hockey player that’s name was Wayne Gretzky and after he retired he started his own ice rink. Gretzky Ice Rink was one of the best facilities in the country. One day when he was on the Zamboni a big sharp piece of roof came crashing down and killed Wayne. The rink still lives onto this day. The kids and the rink employees say they can sometimes hear stick handling and shooting even when they are the only ones there. Some also state that when they work the night shift they can hear him talking and walking around and some think it’s his ghost…

This month I read School Trip the sequel to New Kid by Jerry Craft. This book is about Jordan and his friends going on a field trip to Paris, France. The school is Riverdale Academy day school. Jordan is an artist and he is really exited to see the Paris, the city of lights.

Jordan is a new kid that came to the school last semester. He didn’t have many friends because he is the new kid. The reason why he really likes France is because he is an artist. In this book it shows that Jordan can persevere through all the stress of being the new kid. Another reason why he can’t make a lot of friends is because he gets discriminated because he is a different skin color than all of the other rich white kids at his school.

I loved this book because it really expresses how Jordan is an artist because he is in the best art city in the world. I also loved how his friends let Jordan wander around and have fun in a place that he has really wanted to go to for his whole life. That shows how he has good friends and how nice they are. My favorite character was Jordan because I like how he isn’t afraid to express himself. One quote that shows this is “you guys know I love this city and you guys can’t ruin this for me” this shows that he isn’t afraid to speak his mind because he doesn’t care what other people say about him.

My favorite quote was “ Liam do you ever shut up?” This is my favorite quote because again it shows how he can be comfortable around his friends because he has such a good friend group.
