Mr.Buxton-

In stead of... "my happiness dropped just like a pen from your hand"

Would this be better... "my happiness dropped just like it would when a dog dies"

or should i think of something different???

Also the writing for a moment in time is just about 3 paragraphs long and about a typed paper length wise?????

I accidently put conservation under my natural resources mind map, so can I just go with 3 mind maps? (I also put essay questions in individual categories)

where is the "keep me signed in" button? I still have to type my username and password.

CarolineMackey said...

Forrester - My account automaticly keeps me in unless I click sign out. Honestly, I don't think there actually is a "keep me signed in" button.

Mr. Buxton, For the first essay question, would good power 2's be reduse reuse and recycle?

-Maddie

Unknown said...

Mr Buxton,
Would reduse reuse recycle be a good power two?

~Elizabeth

Maddie Weber said...

no Elizabeth because if both you and I had the same question it must not be very good power 2's because it was low order thinking

- Maddie

Unknown said...

Maddie Weber said...

if you are practicing by doing one of the essay questions, could you have more than one sentence for the opening???
