To Kill A Mocking Bird

I think now that everybody knows that Atticus is taking on Tom Robinson's they will exclude him from the town like they will not let him walk by without harassing him. And also since the children at school learned all the words that they hear from their parents they are going to be calling Jem and Scout those names and they are going to be teasing them about what their father is doing to the town.

Test Prep Action Plan

My goals for test prep is to get a 4. I will challenge myself to try to understand harder text, read longer, study harder words, come to advisory more often, and learn to write shorter passages so that I can reach my goal. Character questions, inference questions, main idea questions. I can study questions that would be hard for me or I can just take a chance( just kidding).

To my parent what I learned in ELA,

My biggest accomplishments in ELA so far is my memoir, my ning. My memoir was about my grand father and how he died, what I felt, and why I felt the way I did. My ning is a big accomplishment because i never used ning before and I got how to use it right away, I even created my own ning!
My favorite unit so far is the character unit because we get to learn how different characters act and why the make the choices they do, it is just so cool to learn about different things but still have to be on the same topic. This is the unit where we actually started to use ning, so we've been using ning for about a month now? And we have been reading the book To Kill a Mockingbird and we have been analyzing how they act and what's goning to happen next.
In ELA we have been using technology to look up information or pictures of things that we need help on, we use our school gmail so that the teacher can send us what ever we need to do for the day and that actually helps because the teacher doesn't have to waste too much time explaining to the whole class about something that like half the class knows she can just tell us what to do then tend to the children who need help.
My goals for the rest of the school year is to work my way onto the Principle's list. That is a list that have the smartest students in the school and I feel that I have the potential to be on that list.
Your always going to always be using reading and writing techniques throughout your entire life. Even if you work to become a Marine Biologist, or what ever job you go for even if you don't have a job and is on welfare you still need to learn how to read and write so that you can live in this dog eat dog world.
Thank you for coming,

What what type of decisions are hard for a character to make?

When a character feels caged in by a decision they tend to have to make decisions that may affect them emotionally and physically. For instance, in To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus has to made a decision on whether to take on the case of Tom Robinson or to just leave him to get killed but he felt that he had to do the right thing so he took on the case.

Listening Passage: Mona Lisa

One possible identity of Mona Lisa is Leonardo da Vinci himself. It is said that Leonardo could have drawn a picture of himself as a woman. Scientists have scanned a self-portrait of da Vinci and the famous portrait of Mona Lisa with their high tech computers and scanners, it has been said that the two paintings match perfectly, and that it is possible that da Vinci drew himself as a woman.

Character Unit Intro

Do you think people ever change?

I think that some people change but it really depends on the person because if one person has the state of mind that they wanna change then they would get it done and not let anything stand in front of their way. For example, If I was a stuck up, snotty person and I effected every one around me then I would have to change the way I was but in my state of mind I didn't need to change anything. What if there was someone just like me but eventually they did change their ways because in their minds they didn't want to be disliked anymore.

Election Reflection

I think that Obama will probably start with the war since it is like the main source to all our financial problems. Like for example, if we stop the war sooner then we'd be able to afford better schools;health care;better houses and things like that. Since Obama is the first African-American to run for the position to be president of the United States its very historical that he won.
I think that over the next years that Obama is in office, he will change the country for us to be independent and more responsible.
