DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER! When I first watched that last year I saw that lady, and just out of natural instinct i predicted she was going to be terrible because of her appearance, but she was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah N. said...

So we can bring one piece of paper in for the test and only one right????

Is that song from Les Mesirables?
I like it.


I learned don't just jump to a conclusion before getting to know/hearing a person.
-M.G.

95% of teens would have a breakdown if the Jonas Brothers were standing on the edge of a building ready to jump. I'm that 5% who would get a lawn chair and popcorn to watch

Unknown said...

if we wrote the tenses, an example, their usage, and the tense family in possitive and negative form is that considered copying??

Maddie Weber said...

Wait... on this website it said:


"In English, present progressive can be used to describe what is happening now, or what will happen in the future.

I am studying now.
I am studying with MarĂ­a tonight." ~http://www.studyspanish.com/lessons/presprog.htm


is it true it can be used for the future also????

Sarah N. said...

maddie.... were you talking to me or sabrina about that?????????????????

Sarah N. said...

And maddie that is not a past perfect sentence cause remember it needs to have a before or after in it... so it would be I jumped up and down before I had walked one mile for gym class. or whatever it was

SCN SARAHHHHHHH

Maddie Weber said...

I was asking Mr.B because i assumed everybody wouldn't know

Maddie Weber said...

THANKS SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mary Grace Parker said...

Can someone post a verb family (negative or positive - both would be great!) on the blog please? Any verb is fine.

Unknown said...

she was talking to you sarah she just but my name by accident

Maddie Weber said...

M.G.

Speak

speaks, spoke, will speak, had spoken, has spoken, was speaking, am speaking, will have spoken, going to speak

I am pretty sure that is right

Unknown said...

Walk- will walk, will have walked, is going to walk ( future) was walking, walked, had walked ( past) walks, has walked, is walking( present)

Swim-wont have swum, wont swim, is not going to swim( future) wasnt swimming, hadnt swum, didn't swim (past) isn't swimming, hasnt swum, doesn't swim ( present)

if any of those are incorrect please let me know

Maddie Weber said...

oh yeah sarah i was talking 2 u i just wasn't paying attention. So sorry. I didn't 4get ur name!!!!!!!!!

Unknown said...

very witty MG
nobody anything else to add to making judgments discussion?

yes that is true... i just teach the 5th grade level if tenses... there is more to them than what i teach, but I just try to keep it simple

I jumped up and down AFTER I had walked one mile for gym class.

Ansley said...

Maddie...

also that sentence that you put up earlier was a present perfect
(just FYI)

Mary Grace Parker said...

Thanks.

MG - please remove the tagline from yur posts now. Thanks

CarolineMackey said...

Another example of making judgements is when you try to play basketball with the guys on the playground but they won't let you or when you get picked last for teams because your a girl and you can't play good. Well, today we just started playing with them even though they said we couldn't and Caroline S kept making baskets over and over again and then they were saying, "Wow, the girls actually can play!"

Thanks Caroline S for making them change their minds!!!

:)

And can someone put the negatives for the verb laugh up??

Anonymous said...

I learned that if you think someone isn't good they actually could be like when we play a game on the playground sometimes people pick me last because they don't think i am good enough. and DON'T judge a book by its appereance or something.

I learned wait until you hear the full story because if you predict to soon you are most likely to be wrong.

Thanks
Abigail

Unknown said...

i think its didn't play and doesnt play but im not toatally sure

Maddie Weber said...

O O
<
______
U
is
ing
will

would this smiley face above be a visual association for tenses if i drew it (pretend the U is a tongue)?
i used the nose since it is a 'simple nose' (because it is only 1 line) i remember past simple and then that you just add ed to the verb, so it is simple. then, the tongue is making spit blobs as the dots for the i's in is, ing, and will, because those are progressive tenses in which they end in is, ing, and will. Then the smiley face's mom told him no more spitting and that was in the distant past, so i remember past perfect, and that you put had + verb + ed. Is that a good Visual Association Technique????

Maddie Weber said...

well that doesn't look like a smiley face but pretend it does

H@₦D¥ said...

Maddie Weber said...

Mr.B,
do u think u could post the pic of the spanish looking house and the people infront of it on the blog because then u can see more details with a color copy if u just have a black and white

Maddie Weber said...

While writing the essay on inference, could you say as a P3 what something isn't like that the people in front of the spanish building can't be exchange students because many are adults in which would already be out of college???

Maddie Weber said...

Also would this be a good hook??? A group of American tourists pause, mouthes open wide to reveal pearly, white teeth in front of an old, Mexican church to snap a picture or two.

Maddie Weber said...

ANSWER ASAP PLEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CarolineMackey said...

Maddie,

That hook is really good!!!!

Maddie Weber said...

Thank you Caroline

Maddie Weber said...

Maddie Weber said...

Maddie Weber said...

Hook- Engage Reader (basically the same type 4 an essay)
Topic- briefly state what happened
P2- support

Can you have a complex sentence in a compound sentence.

ex. If the group was a family, they would be different ages, yet they look like they are all the same age.

Unknown said...

We do write about abe lincoln in our first entry just not inthe first few senences right?

Anonymous said...

Paige,
Yes! It would be a compound complex. Another example would be..
Sarah ate lunch, and did her homework because she wanted to get it over with.
Hope that helps.
