A good thing for every writer is to understand that mistakes happen. A good habit for every writer to develop is to take time to correct those mistakes.
For this week's homework, you will repeat the same process 4 times for your 4 grades (there will be no comments on each other's work).
This is the process you will use:
1. Find one of your earlier posts that has at least five mistakes.
2. Copy and paste it in the comment box here.
3. Paste it again.
4. Make corrections to the second time it was pasted into the comment box.
5. You should end up with 2 versions of the same writing in each post: one uncorrected and one corrected.
6. Do this 4 times total (in 4 separate posts) for your homework grades this week.
If you don't have a post with five or more mistakes, copy and paste someone else's post that meets the requirements. But please don't post the person's name.

one aspect of publishing my writing that really makes me nervous is when i see other peopls writing and its very long and mines very short. i think it makes me so nervous because i dont want to lose points on the length of my writing. something i could do to overcome this discomfort is to try and write a little more.

One of my favorite fictional movie character would be spongebob squarepants because hes funny. He lives in "Bikini Bottom" and he lives in a pineapple "under the sea" and his bestfreind is "Patrick Star" and his other so called friend Squidward tantiqles (forgot how to spell it,) but spingebob doesnt know that squidward seceretly hates him. A detail from that text is that spongebob is a person that people think is wierd. And that detail states what spongebob does and how the way he acts.

i think that thankyou ma'm was a good short story.It shows how a woman named LUELLA BAIT WASHINGTON JONES gets attacked by a young boy and finds out that he might not have a family and tries to help him by taking him home, giving him food,cleaning him up and giving him 10 dollars to buy brand new shoes

ReplyDeletems.sills is this our homework?
if it is our homework:
one rule that always messes me up is the using the right kind of "it's". for example if i said, "the cat has its/it's own tail" sometimes i would get confused. but i know it's the first one. i try to picture "it is" in the sentence and see if it makes sense.

I agree WITH YOU JUSTIN IT WAS A NICE STORY I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPEN I WOULD LOVE TO FIND THAT OUT I ALSO THINK THAT THEY SHOULD MAKE ANOTHER BOOK SAYING WHAT HAPPEN TO ROGER BUT I WOULD NEVER STEAL ANYTHING TO GER A PAIR OF SHOES. WOULD YOU EVERT STEAL TO GET SOMETHING JUSTIN?

ReplyDeleteone thing i think that is important about the book seventh grade is victor thinks scowling will get teresa's attention but it really doesnt work

One thing I think is important to the book "Seventh Grade" is how Victor thinks scowling will get Teresa's attention. But it really doesn't work. (This effects the story because...)
When my dad died, I couldnt belive it, in fact I didnt belive it. I thought it was very unfair. I wasn't even in 6th grade yet. I just wanted him back, I think everyone should have everyone that died close to them back. Its just not fair how they die on you out of no were. Its so UNFAIR!

One challenge I have is picking which idea I want to do. I over came this challenge by picturing them like a movie and choosing the one that seemed the best.
With corrections.
One challenge that I have is deciding on a seed idea to expand on. I have this challenge because all my ideas seem like I could write them and because they were all exciting momnents. What I did to try to overcome the challenge was to picture the "Movie Version" of each idea. I started to write my narrative with the seed idea thatt seemed to be the most detailed and enjoyable movie and that I felt comfortable expanding on.
One aspect of "Seventh Grade" that I find important is how much Vistor likes Teresa. If he didn't like as muchas he does, then he probably wouldn't interpret her looks and actions the way he does now. And I agree with Amy - a character that seems real always makes the book better.

ReplyDeleteits hard for me to put dialogue in mine but when i did it helped
It's hard for me to put dialogue in mine, but when I did, it helped.
These are the following mistakes that I want to correct:
ReplyDeleteThe main character is Jordan, and he is very well rounded for an seventh grader. He is incredibly athletic, super popular, and has like, a million best friends.
The parts of the story that gave me all of the details about him is his growing friendship with a boy named Buddy. Jordan has so many mishaps with Benny that it makes the story more interesting.
The narrator is not Jordan nor Buddy, and I had a hard time deciding which one was the main character. But I finally found out that Jordan was trying to overcome his shyness around Benny.

Yah, I found mistakes in here, too...
ReplyDeleteA little boy stared at me obnoctiously. I threw my golf club into the little blue house, my hair soaking wet. Mary and Lucas scrambled under a tree, though it hardly beared any protection from the rigerous wind and rain. "Man, Lucas. How awesome to have the weather turn against you." I screeched.
"Screw the weather, man!" Lucas replied.
"Says you..." Mary murmured.

1)One thing that i think is important is that the Victor is trying to ask out the girl who he likes because he is trying to over come his fear and talk to her.
ReplyDelete1)One thing that I think is important in "Seventh Grade" is that Victor is trying to ask out this girl Taresa, who he likes because, but he has to overcome the fear of what she would say. This is why this texts conflict in Man v.s Self.
2)one thing i think that is important about the book seventh grade is victor thinks scowling will get teresa's attention but it really doesnt work
2)One thing I think is important about the book "Seventh Grade" is how Victor thinks that scowling will get Taresa's attention, because Kevin told showed him that everytime he scowled girls stared at him. So he thought it would work on Taresa so she would notice him. But later when Victor scowled Taresa didn't notice him.
3)rodger is so stupid. Why steal a purse from a old lady but in the end everything was ok. I loved it when mrs Jones washed rodger it was funny
3)Rodger is so stupid.Why would you steal a purse from an old lady even though she was street smart.But I thought the book "Thank You Ma'm" was an ok short-story. I love the part when Mrs.Jones made Rodger wash his face, because it showed she cared, and was very funny.
4)Hi, I think that the short story was very good it left me thinking about the charecters in different way
4)Hi, I think the short-story "Thank You Ma'm" was a very good short-story. I think this because it had a great lesson in the story. Even though I wish I knew what Rodger's hardship, even though it left me thinking about the characters in many different ways.
i lve my book series its about a boy named percy who is a half-blood and the son of posiden. he goes on long dangerous quests to either save the world or half-blood hill. i love this story because it has alot of action. i love action. i hope this gives m an a ms.sills.

i have the same problem elise i can never remember a full story clearly maybe ill do what you did and try to remember a certain year of my life
ReplyDeleteElise, I have the same problem. I can never remember a full story clearly. I think I should try your strategy of remembering a certain year of my life. This will help me with my personal narrative.
one issue i have in my beliefs is homework. I have alot to do without having to worry about the blogs.plus some of the topics that you give us is very hard.One of the topics that are hard is the personal narrative.I have a problem sharing my feelings.
ReplyDeleteOne issue I have is homework. I have a lot to do in my life. I don’t have time to worry about the blogs. Also, some of the topics assigned for homework are very challenging for me. One of the topics that I struggle with is the personal narrative. I struggle with this topic because I have a problem sharing my feelings. This makes it hard for me to express myself when writing a personal narrative.
i think the story thank you ma'm is a good story because well first the boy deserved to be treated so harshly because he did something wrong.but he is lucky that she didnt call the cops and have him arrested i know i would have.
ReplyDeleteI think “Thank You, Ma’m” is a good story. I think it is a good story because Mrs. Jones treated Roger differently than I expected. Roger should have been punished when he tried to steal Mrs. Jones’s purse, but he was treated very kindly. I think Roger was lucky Mrs. Jones didn’t call the police. If I was Mrs. Jones I know I would have called the police to have him arrested.

Hey Jeremy i can feel why you have empathy for your charecter i your book. The fact that his house is going to get demolished without notifying him.

hey Michaela i agree with you on what you stated that mrs.Jones is not the antagonist because the problem that Rodger has is not with her. But i would just like to add that the problem was within Roger, weather or not he was going to run away from mrs.Jones

I think that this is going to be a pretty good book because so far the conflict seems pretty juicy. I think the protagonist is the lady (i dont wan to type her whole name, its too long). I think the antagonist is the boy that tried to steal her purse but i kind of feel bad for him because she dragged him away in front of everyone on the street.

I think "Thank You Ma'ma" is a well written short story because it sort of in a way is about trust, because when the antgonist Roger tries to steal the protagonist Ms.Jones pocketbook she takes him back to her house to teach him some manners, and when he had the chances to run he didn't. To me that sort of showed trust between Roger and Ms.Jones.
ReplyDelete-Michelle H
I think the conflict is that Roger may not have a lot of money, so to meet his needs/ wants he tries to steal from Ms.Jones and now he has to learn right from wrong (like Daren said).

One of my favorite characters is Emily in the book the stepsister. Emily was thinking all backwards but it was really her sister that was doing all the murdering not her stepsister. I learned a breif lesson out of that story because the character asumed something but it wasnt true.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite character in the book "The Stepsister" By R.L. Stine, is Emily. Emily was thinking the opposite way of which it really was. She was thinking that her new stepsister was the one who murdered her dog and made her life miserable. It was acually her real sister who Emily trusted alot. Emily assumed something that was not true. I learned that never assume something because it might not be true.
I liked the story . my favorite part was when he snatched the purse and fell also i liked when Mrs.Jones took Roger in and cleaned him up and told him about herself. i mostly think the antagonist was Mrs Jones and the protagonist is roger. Mrs,Jones was my favorite character because in my mind i imagined a big round and fat old lady and that made me giggle.

I belive that we should have phones in our school just incase we have an emergency, we can call our gaurdian. For example, when I was after school for math I had to call my dad to tell him I was staying after school. He didnt answer so I left a message. I was wondering if he would get the message in time to tell my dads friend pat I wouldnt be coming on scheduled time. I was planing to call my dads friend pat but unfotunly i got in trouble for using the phone in school. I think instend of our parents getting worried because were not home in time. In my opinion we should be able to contact them. In about ten minutes later my dad called back saying where are you? I got in troube again. Calling your parents would be better than not letting you parents not know at all. I think that we should only use the phone for emergency cases only so it can be fair for teachers, staff, and students.

My dad called back questioning me where are you. I tried to answer him back but I was to busy getting yelled at by the teacher and everyone else was saying oooo your on the phone. Calling your parents would be better than not letting you parents not know at all. I think that we should only use the phone for emergency cases so it can be fair for teachers, staff, and students.

I agree with Katie because I usually just skip over a word I don't know. I should probably look it up or use a dictionary.a way I could improve this strategy is I could write the word down a] and ask someone or when I get a chance look online or in the dictionary.

I think this was a good book. It was a lesson that I wont never do. The protaganist was independent, bold, stong and not afraid of anything. The antagonist was a very special guy, he was special because he could of got in big trouble I talking about the police and stuff like that. I think that was good the antagonist try to do that cause now he has learned a valueble lesson.

I think this was a good short story. It was a lesson that I wont never do. The protaganist was a very special guy, he was special because he could of got in big trouble and stealng could of got on his record. I think that the antagonist was his fear inside of him wondering if he should just run or stay cool and suffer the concequence.

one issue I have taken as a beliefs is that everyone should be treated equally and know one should be hurt by someone who was talking behind there back. I have talked behind peoples back and i did it a lot and i still do but not as much i realized it really hurts when people start rumors about you or if they are just talking about you. Its happen to me my friend was talking behind my back then I got hurt. If you talk about someone your hurting your self and them. The reason your hurting yourself is because they going to talk about you and it will cause a much bigger problem. I know that every girl likes to gossip about people or stuff and I love to do it to. I mean which girl doesn't.but I'm going to try not to cause i have a problem with controlling myself. So i don't get hurt and so other people will not get hurt.

one aspect of publishing my writing that makes me nervous is when its being reviewed by my mom or my dad. I know they will find something wrong with it and they will end up handing in a totally different piece than the original copy.it makes me nervous also when your handing it in and your thinking to your self is it good enough, will they like it or how good is everyone else's ? i overcome this fear by reading over like 30 times and each time i find a correction I have to make I re-read it an extra time. sometimes if my friends read my story I feel nervous to see what they think . but I wont get nervous if I re-read it a lot. that is the way I over come my fear OF publishing

In the short story "Thank you ma'm" by Langston Hughes I felt bad for Rojer that he learned his lesson in a bad way but I felt goood for him because he deserved his lesson. I think that Rojer was happy what with he did because he got ten bucks and he got some thing to eat.

I developed a negative feeling for Mrs.Jones because in the beginning she seemed really mean! I felt that way because she was knd of abusing Roger. From then on i thought the boook was going to be horrible because I thought it was going to be about Mrs.Jones being mean to oger. But it wasn't it was a very good book.

One of my favorite fictional characters is hatter madigan from the book The Looking Glass Wars. He is really cool and is really good at fighting. He even has wrist blades that he can shoot at evil people. A detail from the text that let me create that description was when Hatter was going to find Alyss and he used his blades to kill all the evil people he saw. He didnt even get hurt because he is such a great fighte. He ended up finding Alyss after many years too. But he fought and never gave up

One aspect of publshing my writing that always makes me nervous is I am always afraid I will hand it in to the teacher and there will be a mistake or two that I can't change. I think it make me so nervous becaus I know once I hand it in i cant fix the mistake and might get a bad grade because of it. Something I could do to overcome the discomfort is I can profread it a bunch of times and give it to other people to proofread to make sure there is no mistake and than I will not have to worry.

One challenge I'm having with writing the personal narrative is when I am so into my book and I always forgot to write down my thoughts when my brain is talking back to the text.One way I'm trying to overcome that challenge is to try to stop and jot to remind myself that I have to write down in my RR section.

I am reading this book called "Kickoff!" In the story my character Tiki and Ronde Baraber was going to football tryouts and they were nervous because they didn't know wether if they made the team or not. I had the same feeling when I went to baseball tryouts and I was also nervous and didn't know if I made the team.

ReplyDeleteOne aspect of "Seventh Grade" That I find important is how Victor has a ginormous crush on Tereassa and How victor can not stop thinking abou her. I think this is important because throughtout the story Victor mind was all about Tereassa and he was trying to build up courae to ask her out.

One reading stratey I find myself using often is that I visualize while I read. I use that stratey so much that I don't even realize I'm using it. For example, I was reading a poem last time. I was visualizing it so I got what it means.
ReplyDeleteOne Strategy I am having trouble is when I spy on my brain. Everytime I literally forget that my brain has thoughts, so I have to stop and jot down what my brain is thinking. When I am very concentrated in reading, I don't use this stratey much because I always forget that I have to write down my thoughts. Now I will try to pause on every page and try to think what my brain has to say to this page and write it down.

One challange that i have that i have with writing my personal narrative is "Show Don't Tell" because It's hard for me not to tell the readers where I'm at or what am I doing or what am I seeing. I am digging hard into my brain to think of how can i show but dont tell.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Karlie and Britney. I feel that when there is a publishing date, I am pressured to hurry up my writing so I can finish it. However, when I speed up my writing, I always end up making more mistakes.
One reading strategy i find myself using often is that i visualize. I think i use this strategy so much because my brain needs to see the image to be able to know whats going on in the book otherwise i wont understand it. For example in the book im currently reading, it describes how one of the charecters is freaked out by something and i can see what his face looks like in my head.
ReplyDeleteOne reading strategy i know i dont use enough is spying on my brain. I dont use this strategy much because i dont really like to write what im thinking down on paper, i like just reading through because i know what im thinking and i dont have to stop. Maybe it would help me to just get over it and just write and then i might use this strategy more.

hey Michaela i agree with you on what you stated that mrs.Jones is not the antagonist because the problem that Rodger has is not with her. But i would just like to add that the problem was within Roger, weather or not he was going to run away from mrs.Jones
ReplyDeleteHey Michaela, I agree with you on what you stated. Mrs. Jones is not the antagonist because the problem that Rodger has does not involve her; the problem is within Rodger, whether or not he was going to run away from Mrs. Jones.

ReplyDeleteOne reading strategy I know I don't use enough is takeing my time and trying to get the word that I'm trying to read.I think I don't use this strategy much because I dont like to read slow i like to read the book fast if it's a good book.Maybe it would help me to take my time and read the book slow so I can get the word and I can understand it batter.And then I would use this strategy more if i took my time and read the book slower.

ReplyDeleteI believe that.........
We should all respect eachother..........
CORRECTED: When you are trying to take a test and someone is talking and you said "can you please be quiet im trying to take a test" and they say "sure" but keep talking. (Its so annoying!!!). Another way I believe we should respect people by not cuting them in line for lunch or the snack line because people have to wait, so they could get food on the snack line but theres no point because then someone cuts you or when your on the lunch line and your behind someone and there friend is behind you and they say hey .... you can cut, and then they go in front of you.

One challeng im having with writing the personal narrative is putting in all the detail. one way im trying to ovecome that challenge is to think back to when the event happened to gather as much datail as i can. Its kind of hard for me to get all of the detail because most of the events im writng about happened whe i was 4 or 5 years old.

In my book i developed feelings for Luke because when Percy was about to kill him he fought Kronos and was able to kill himself to kill Kronos. In those few moments i felt bad for him because he was stucj inside and scared for his life. It inflenced my reading because it showed me that each character, no matter how tough they look, they all have a soft side.

One of my favorite fictional character in a book is "sissy" or Teresa from the book, Deep, Dark ,and Dangerous. Sissy is really a girl who drowned in a lake long ago. She is mean and nasty to some girls that moved near the lake she drowned in. Their names are Ali and Emma. She wants to take Emma and make her drown because she is lonely in the water. But Ali wont let her. Sissy is cruel because she wants to kill a small girl just not to be lonely. Sisy has an attitude because she would walk into the house of someone else and say "get me this" and "get me that" Sissy was mean even before she died. Sissy is mostly a bad influence on Emma because now that Emma is her friend, Sissy says that she is baby and then Emma does the same! What gave me these ideas is when Sissy tries to drown Emma, and when she lies to them and steals. I like this character so much because she is the most interesting. SHe was the one who made this book so good.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite fictional characters from a book is "Sissy" or Teresa from the book Deep and Dark and Dangerous. Sissy is really a girl who drowned in a lake long ago. Two girls move down to a cabin down by the lake Sissy drowned in. Sissy is mean and nasty to them but the younger of the cousins tries to be sissy's friend and ends up acting like her. Sissy makes fun of her and tries to drown the younger cousin. Sissy is my favorite because she was the most interesting. She was the one who made the book so good.
One asppect of publishing my story is, when I hand the story in I always worry about my grade that I am going to get. I thnk it makes me so nervouse because I always think that if I get a bad grade then what happens if Im the only person with a bad grade. Something I could do to overcome this discomfort is say I tryed my best and maybe I will do beter on the next story. One aspect that I am already comfortable about is that I get my stories in on time. I think I am comfortable with the publishing dates because I know when the story is due and I always start writing once I get the chance.

ReplyDeleteThe set of words I already understand are "Ate and Eight". I understand them very wel becaus wen Im writting a sentence and I have to use the word "ate", I always remember the word eat and how "ate" is the past-tense for eat. I know the word "eight" well because when I have to write the number "eight" down I always know how to spell it- "e-i-g-h-t". The set of words I get mixed up with are "Affect and Effect". I get them mixied up because I can never remember which one means what. I get them mixed up all the time! The word I just found out from the set of words "Adds, Ads, and Adze" is "adze". I never knew that word even exsisted until now! Like my mom always says- "You learn something new every day!"
ReplyDeleteA set of words that I always get messed up with is the there, their, and they're I can never remember which one goes in the right place and i really need to work on it

ReplyDeleteMy favorite fictional character in the NEW PROPHCEY WARRIORS Is Stormfur he is a nobel warrior and very protectave of his sister Feathertail. A detail from the text is he protects his sister from rats by fighting them off with his teeth and claws.

A detail from the text is that he protects his sister from rats by fighting them off with his teeth and claws. The detail is the character protecting another character in the book. This is an example of the character doing something.

My favorite fictional character is Katie from "Love You, Soldier". Katie's father is going to war and as she was getting ready to take her father to the tain station to say goodbye, she had to dress in something really fancy. The narrator(Katie) let me know that becaus,"My dress had pleats, and smoocking near the collar. And my new party shoes- shiney like mirrors- tapped and clicked on the winding marble staris." I also found out the setting was back then. I identified that the main character, Katie said that. I know that because, "My dress had pleats, and my new party shoes." That is how i could tell wether or not who was saying it

Dialogue helped me in my writing because it made my story sound real, like a real book. Not just like a run on sentence. When I added dialogue my story wasn't so exciting,I felt like I didn't have any climax without it.
ReplyDeleteDialogue helped me so much in my writing all because it made my story sound real, like a real book or movie. Not like a run-on sentence. When I added dialogue my story was the most exiting story I have ever written. I feel like my story wouldn't have much of a climax without it.
One aspect of seventh grade that I find to be important is, when Victor feels confident that he got Teresa. What I also think is important is when Victor really gets Teresa's attention, when he speaks fake french. Another thing I think is important is when Victor overcomes his fear of making a fool of himself in front of Teresa.
ReplyDeleteVictor was afraid of himself.

Victor wasn't afraid of himself as much. He was mad and ashamed.
onw aspect of pblishing my narrtive is kowing if all my grammer and dialouge is correct. i always find someting at the last min that shouldnt be there or makes an incorrect sentence fragment. i do not like the publishing dates it makes me feel like i have a limit to the naritive im doing and howmuch time i can put into it.

The homonyms that i get are ant and aunt. I know that an ant is a small insect and that an aunt is a sister of one of your parents. The ones i get stuck on though are effect ans affect. I keep looking t the definitions and dont really get them. I realized that aisle, I'll, and isle are all spelled different but sound exactly the same. None of the meanings are alike too.

I agree with Bria because whenever I write a story and I reread it like about 3 times for spelling mistakes and toher stuff. And then when i hand in the paper i always think theres another thing i have to fix about it. Maybe if i just think to myself getting the highest grade or something good i might get over that fear.

In the book "Thank you Ma'am" i feel empathy for both of the characters, like the i feel bad for the lady because the boy was trying to steal from her. But i also feel empathy for the boy because now the lady is not letting him go and if i was the boy i would get annoyed with being held back and not aloud to leave...

What makes me nervous about publishing is that when you hand it in to the teacher thats when you think you've made a mistake and when she goes to grade your paper its like well did I pass did I fail what did I do wrong i bet I spelled this word wrong I know I got a bad grade and you just panic about it especially when its a big part of your grade you just wish you did better all because you think you've failed it happens alot with me and I stress and make a big deal over it and sometimes I pass but I still do something wrong and its like well my grade would have been better if i did this this or that a certain way and i just go hard on my self.

My issues are that people bump into you and don't say excuse me. I just want to go up to them and say excuse me. Or like one time I was in a restaraunt and they guy said under his breath thank you. I just wanted to say that i was going to say thankyou and you just would have to wait for it.

Well first of all this book is really weird in a good way. Any woman who would have gotten their pocketbook stolen would run away and call the cops, but not Lucella. The boy who was going to steal Luella's bag name is Roger. All he wanted the money for was to get a pair of blue seude shoes. I am suprised that Roger did'nt just run away from Luella. So Roger and Luella went back to her house and had hot coco and dinner. But Roger had to wash his face before he went to the dinner table. All i know is that I like this short story

One aspect in the short story "Seventh Grade" that I noticed was that through out the text Terressa was always trying to make Victor feel better of himself in some way.For example in french Terresa went up to Victor and told him that he spoke french very well.I am not to sure if Terresa really thought he knew french, but to me she was just trying to warm him(to make him feel better). To me and most of the people in the grand conversation was that Terresa likes Victor as well. The short story did not finish how I thought it would with victor going to tutor Terresa in french.I thought that they would end up going out before the story was over.

In the past i have added dialogue in many of my stories. I know how to add it into a story, i know that whenever a new person speaks that you have to start a new paragraph and all of that.
Some things that im having trouble with in adding dialogue is exactly where to add it and im having trouble remembering what might have been said. I dont necessarily know when its a good time to put all the dialogue in.

I realized that there are lots of words that sound alike,have different spellings and meanings.

One reading strategy I use are predictions. I love to guess at whats going to happen next even if my predictions end up being wrong.Like I made the prediction that Roger from "Thank You Ma'm" would end up staying with Ms.Luella .He didn't but it was still a good prediction.
ReplyDeletei usually don't use the RR because i'm so into my book and I read just before bed and don't really think about it. It could really help me put my thoughts down so later i can see if I was right or wrong.

not corrected:My favorite fictional book charater is Jessica from the book I am reading now called Eratum. Jessica is a girl that is not normal at all she is taller, faster, smarter then anyone that is her age. The narrator is telling the person reading the book that she is not normal but the main character (Jessica) doesnt know that yet untill she finds the book called her lif not her life.

I thought that when the lady said like you can go now and she also handed him 10$ for the suede shoes I thought in my head oh wow I wasent expecting that. The protagonist is Rodger and the antagonist is ms jones because she didnt think it was right to steal her purse for money and Rodger did because he wanted money for his shoes! But now I think Rodger knows not to steal anyones purse especially ms jones purse.

I liked the story "Thank You, Ma'm" because it was unperdictable. i really liked how twards the beguinning of the story if Mrs.Louella Bates gave Roger a chance to get away he wouldve ran but then later Roger was given a chance to run but he stayed. I think Roger stayed because he likes feeling like someone cares about him and also because he was a little scared of Mrs.Louella Bates.

In my book the main character is Cammie, Cammie goes to a a school which the teachers call a school for exeptional young women, but really it's a school for spies. Cammie loves to solve CIA codes and do math problems most people don't see untill their in college but she also wants some things in her life to be normal. So far I like this book beacause it has problems that could really happen along with the problems that won't happen.

My favorite ficional charater is Kristina.
ReplyDeleteKristina only cares about her self. She doesn't care about what other people think, and sher doesn't care about her body. She doesn't have much of a tan. Details from the book helped me figure out that she was very much into love, and relationships. She was also into drugs. The book helped me identify those description was when she went to go vistit her dad and he asks her if she wanted a cigarette. The book also helped me identify that she was into love and relationships was when she was asked out by a boy named Adam feel in love with him, and got a tatoo to rememeber their love for eachother.

My issue is that people always judge someone on there looks on the outside, before they get to know someone. If someone is not cool looking people don't get to know them. I think a person should try to get to know someone, see what there like before you decide you don't like them.
ReplyDeleteyuo might like the samethings and have the same interests. If everyone gives a person a try they might find out that the person is nice and you might like them.

In my opinion i liked the short story Thank You Ma'm. I thought how it was set up and i liked how i got the picture in my head, the big lady carrying the boy down the street. I loved how the srory ended it was sad but cute. Beacuse for the boy being bad he got some love, food and $10. I think if he would have went up to any other lady she would bring him to jail or beat him up. In the story the protagonist was Mrs.Jones, she was very nice. And i bet the boy will be very thankful or i hope he will beacuse he got love money and $10 for trying to steal her purse!

I believe school should not be everyday of the week. I think this beacsue we have to got to school five days a week and thats a lot. The only time we are off is on Saturday and Sunday, only TWO days. I really thing school should only be three or four days a week. I really think strong about this idea because I think we should have more time with family. I'm not saying we shouldn't have school, beacuse we should, we just shouldn't have it as much. Maybe we can even have more days off and vacations and i would be really happy!

I think the conflict in Thank You Ma'm is how the boy wanted to steal the womens purse but she was able to get her purse back and she took the boy back to her house made him clean his face and then she gave him dinner and then she walked him out the door

One strategy I dont use enough is "spying on my brain". I think that i dont use this strategy alot because I don't like to stop reading to take alot of notes so im not used to spying on my brain.maybe if I keep practicing this strategy more and more i'll use it more.

In my book i developed feelings for Luke because when Percy was about to kill him he fought Kronos and was able to kill himself to kill Kronos. In those few moments i felt bad for him because he was stucj inside and scared for his life. It inflenced my reading because it showed me that each character, no matter how tough they look, they all have a soft side

The thing that I feel deep about is having cellphones in school. I feel strongly about it because if we have a cellphone in school and by accident someone calls you and you forgot to turn it off you get it taken away unless your teacher is nice enough you dont. What also stinks is that if your phone rings it gets taken away and if the teachers phone rings, their phones dont get taken away. Some of the teachers even pick up their phones and text people. I think if teachers are able to use their phones students should also be able.

One of my fictional characters is Tally.
ReplyDeleteShe is from the book I'm reading now and it is "Uglies". Tally is a kind of person who just cares about her looks not her education. She is a 16 year old girl who thinks that her looks aren't good enough and doesn't have self confidence. Also she does't listen to anybody close like her bestfriend Peris and shay. Shay tried to tell her that she shouldn't get the surgery because it isn't a smart thing to do. She is my favorite kind of fictional character because she doesn't listen to people but she isn't bossy like other girls that care about their looks also.

Well for me "show dont tell" is kind of easy I still have problems sometimes but I reread it and I find out which parts I need to make a show
ReplyDeletenot a tell,I get blocked sometimes of thinking of dialoge when there is none in that moment, so I kind of change it but nothing major to make it different.I have no section of my writing that I think that needs improvement.

1.My favorite character would be from my book "The Confession" her name was Taylor. She was the person who did the crime but her boyfriend told everyone he did it,he was protecting her.

3. Another character (the main character... her name was, I forget...sorry)
1.My favorite character would be from my book "The Confession" her name is Taylor. She was the person who did the crime but her boyfriend told everyone he did it,he was protecting her. The crime she did was kill Al, Al used to hang out with Taylor,Julie,Hilary, and Vince but he started to hang out with guys from a different school and he started drinking, smoking, everything bad. Taylor killed him because no one could stand him... nobody knew that she killed him. At the end of Al's funeral they went to Taylor's boyfriend's house (Sandy) and then he told Julie,Taylor,Hilary,and Vince that he killed Al but he really didn't he was just protecting Taylor.

I agree with Victoria because it's not right at all to be prejudice. Don't judge people by their skin, heritage, or nationality. You can't hate something without trying it out. Just like Victoria said "You can't Judge a book by its cover." I think everyone should try out that rule.

I feel bad for Crystal and Jake because Lynne was always flirting with Scott(Crystals new neighbor) everytime she got even around Crystal,both girls and Crystal's sister Melinda liked Scott,they werent the only ones... pretty much every girl at Shadyside wants to go out with Scott.Jake(Scott's new friend and Crystal and Lynne's best friend for a long time) has a HUGE crush on Lynne and he told Crystal and then she told Lynne that he has a crush on and she STILL flirted with Scott with Jake around;but Scott doesnt like girls that wear alot of purfume and make-up(bad girls)so she got so mad that he... KILLED her! :o,he killed his girlfriend back at where he lived but he didnt mean it...I tink Scott needs help. It influenced me to keep on reading I never wanted to stop,R.L. Stine makes VERY VERY descripted books,everybook that I read by him I never wanted to put it down.

i think that thank you mam is a story that trys to tell you about how you should be treated and act also what not to do.I think that lady is really nice and if you ask her for something she will give it to you.that lady wasn't trying to be mean she was just trying to get the piont across that you shouldn't steal from people and next time the boy do something like that he will proly think twice or go to jail or maybe somthi ng else but not good.i think the women is going to get feelings for the boy and might let the boy stay with her because if a little boy like that needs to steal then the parents aren't doing what they need to do to help him and get what he need.i personly i think the parents dont care for the boy because it was dark and late when he tryed to steal

ReplyDeleteThe one thing that bothers me is when a "friend" pretends to be your friend when really she isn't. I can't stand it when you confide in a friend, share all your thoughts with that person and that friend tells your business to everyone behind your back. It's very mean when a "friend" does this and shows no respect. I call them not a real firend but a fake firend. A fake friend is someone who to your face will be all nice and then behind your back is saying mean things about you to everyone else. I find that those people who are fake are only trying to make themselves look good and but really are only making themselves look dumb. A fake friend is someone I would stay away from.

One aspect of publishing my writing that really makes me nervous is the deadline and spelling. When I type my writing, which is just about all the time, Im afraid that I will skip a letter or a word or sentence will not come out right because I will proofread something too quickly and not pay attention to it. Then, I lose points for stupid mistakes like that.Something that I coulds do to over come this discomfort would be to try to make my proofreading more thorough.
ReplyDeleteDealines also scare me because I always feel kind of rushed even if I think it was perfect, I will ALWAYS find something that I feel I could have wrote or done diferently.

In my book 'Who killed my daughter' i think devoloped empathy for my character, Lois (who is also the author and this is a event that really happened in her life) because she is the type of mother/woman that is very protective of her kids and knows whats best for them and when her daughter, Kaitlyn, gets shot in the head by a nutjob, i felt like i wanted to cry for her. Knowing that this charater is so loving and protective... and then to have he daughter getting shot in the head!,.... it felt so bad for this poor woman. In the book she even kept on repeating please dear God (in her prayers) dont let it be a head injuring. Please dont let it be a head injury and then for her to find out that she was shot in the head and my be in acoma for the rest of her life it made me feel so bad for this charcter.

One strategy I find myself using alot of is the stop and jot strategy and the visuilizing strategy. I think I use this strategy so much because any time something is really important I feel the need to write it down and I just visualize the events in the book naturally. One way I do this is, in my book, perfect chemistry, there are a lot of parts that kind of give you a rush and sometimes make you re- read so I write it down or stop and jot.
ReplyDeleteOne strategy I know I dont use enough is, is the making an inference strategy. I feel I dont use this enough because I forget to stop and just think about the things like making infrences. One way I could use this strategy is to stop for a while and think more deeply about what I just read.

I really enjoyed Thank You Ma'am. It was the kind of story that could happen to just about any one. I was realy suprised when all Roger said was Thank you Ma'am because it seemed like their relationship was stonger than that. I wasnt suprised though when Mrs. Jones gave Roger the money to buy new shoes because it seemed like she was tough on the outside but kinder and loving on the inside.
ReplyDeletei Think thats the protagonist was Roger and the antagonist was Mrs. Jones. I really liked this short story and wanted to know more.

One of the main characters in the "Clique" books that I read last year my favorite character was Claire. She isn't rich like Massie; she lived in Massie guesthouse until they had enough money for their own house. More then anything Claire wanted to be friends with Massie; even after she became friends with Massie (who was mean to her) she still seemed nicer.

ReplyDeletepayton i think the boy was also 15 years old because why would he want a pare of shoes so bad that he would steal from a old lady and if he was younger he would care about his shoes and would steal from a old lady because he would know better then that.
Payton, I think the boy was also 15 years old because why would he want a pair of shoes so bad that he would steal from a old lady. Also if he was younger he would not care about his shoes and would not steal from a old lady because he would know better then that.

i have the same as matt i visualise a lot almost all the time i dont even try i just do.
ReplyDeleteLike Matt, I also visulize all the time. Sometimes I don't even have to try to, my brain can just picture whats happening.
One aspect of "Seventh Grade" that I find important is the fact that Victor really put in effort to try and get Terisa to spend time with him I think that this is important because he tried and tried and at the end he succeded.

Noah, I totally agree with you that the one of the main aspects of the story is that Victor is totally in Love with Terisa because of how he constantly thinks about her.
