Content Knowledge First we chose what topic we wanted to write about. After that we chose the topic created a synthesis essay and improved it. Then we debated about a few topics and we used a coffee shop to discuss some of the controversial stuff or some of the possible problems we have today while people have the opportunity to drink coffee at the same time
Academic Skills The academic skills we where able to improve was our reading and writing skills because we had to write a Synthesis essay where we got critique and then we had to improve them to the best of our abilities and writing does improve reading skills too
Life Skills This was a great project with learning life skills because we where able to learn how to be baristas in a coffee shop and be servers in restaurants I'm sure most people here will use one of those skills we learned in the near future. I don't think they counted the bellissimo chaos project as this project but I do because was one of the bigger steps we took to get to this project.

Synthesis EssayTyler Sanchez
Humanities Ms.Char 03/06/2017 In America we have a problem, and that is firearms. There is too little control in the wrong places and too much control in the parts that should have less. Now there are the common things everyone can think of why guns are bad like they can hurt or kill people, and as Americans we can own arsenals of deadly weapons. If you are going to arm yourself with a gun, in home defense or everyday carry, you need to ask yourself “can I live knowing I took someone’s life?” And over probably something such as your wallet. If the answer is no, that you just can't, then you need non-lethal methods. How can the bad guy accomplish his or her goal if they can’t see you because you pepper sprayed them in the eyes! Pepper spray can be 500,000 to 5million scoville unit which can be over 200 times stronger than a jalapeno. Guns are not bad because they don’t kill people I know you have heard that a lot, but I say that because you're not shooting a gun you’re firing shooting a round. Guns are no problem in the civilian world because all modern civilian firearms are all the same they fire one round at a time. The only difference people should worry about is the round size a gun uses because .50 caliber round can make it through one inch of steel a .223 round can not go through ½ inch steel. The ammunitions should be harder to purchase like not being able to buy 500 rounds on a website for only $107 with just a few clicks. All Americans should be able to get free training and books on how to handle one. In America not everyone needs a gun there are burglars, rapists, murderers, mentally unstable and violent people. I’m sure we all don't want them getting a hold of a brand new rifle or pistol that can make someone into the victim but also, this is why we should still have guns because showing a pistol that can fit in a purse has stopped many crimes in the past and will stop more in the future also most guns that have been used in a crime have been stolen or obtained in other illegal ways . The United kingdom guns laws are strict and they have over 4 times the amount of violent crimes done than America in recent years out of every 100,000 people. Since 1950 all mass shootings in america have happened in gun free zones. Works Cited "All Injuries." Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
