BRAMUN

Brazil MUN is coming close and all the Chapel delegates must be starting to feel very anxious excited waiting for this event that is arriving. BRAMUN is the same thing as Sao Paulo MUN but it happens at Angra dos Reis at a luxurious hotel where the students participating stay for about 5 days. It is a bigger event because many different schools from around Brazil participate. It is a great experience to learn and debate. Also to meet new people and open new connections. A lot of hard work is put into it but in the end it is totally worth it. For those not participating I recommend to join next year. It is an activity that everyone who participates enjoys doing.

Everybody is traveling to different places, some o Rio, some to the beach, some to Salvador. Well but it doesn´t matter because anywhere you go during carnaval will definetly be exciting!

Research Paper


All the 10th grade students from Mrs. Feitosa's class are in the process of writing a research paper. Each student has chosen a topic of their own liking, and have started to look for websites and books to implement their work. Last year when we were in 9th grade we also wrote a research paper, but it was about careers. Now we are able to pick our own topic, and that makes it easier to write the paper, because when you are writing about something that you like it becomes fun at the same time.By now we have only researched and haven't got to the writing yet, but we will probably start that this week. Although research papers tend to be long and a lot of hard work they end paying off at the end, because you learn and other people who read it learn too.
