Enjoy Nick's poem below. Which emotion is being expressed here?
Assignment Objective: ?????
It Takes Guts
Two brutes began to pick a fight
With a timid child who was full of fright.
As the name-callers jeered and taunted,
The other student was frightened and haunted.
As he watched, John grew more incense.
He couldn’t believe how the bullying was so intense.
Strength inside John began to arise.
The power came from somewhere, but it was quite a surprise.
John was shaking but knew what to do.
He approached the boys before the fist flew.
He said, “Leave him alone. He hasn’t hurt you.
You’re only daring because you are two.”
The pests turned away before there was a fight.
John turned to the boy and asked, “Are you alright?”
A wide grin spread across his face.
John felt like the strongest kid in the place.

Mr. Buxton i was looking for facts for my menu and i found a neat website for our state reports here it is~~~http://www.netstate.com/
Mr buxton you said that we would only have to recite 1 poem if we chose can we still do that!
Are the presentations for the poetry party graded and do the poems have to be memorized?
mr buxton, is it ok that i want to change my midwest poem to my free choice poem for the poetry party?-martha wright
Martha - that's fine. Choose what every moves you and you are epassionate about!
Janie abd Charlie- You already know the answer to that question.
There is a chance that we won't get time for everybody to recite to 2 poems, but you should be prepared to do so.
Lilly- You could recite your poem at the party and I grade you on it then if you choose or later in the day
thank you mr. buxton
I am confused. Can anyone tell me when/if the free chiose porm is due, and do you have to write another one or do you pick one of your own that you have already writen or do you have to write a whole new one. please help!!!
thanks, Kennedy Fertitta

Help.

Free Choice means 'free choice' Kennedy. you choose another poem. It can be from a book, a song with special lyrics, or something you create yourself.
I hope you also saved your movie stuff on the drive on the s/ drive in school? Lesson 1 -Always have back up!
is it ok if i bring my southwest project in tomorrow?

Mr. buxton I think it will work at school. I just think something is wrong with my computer.
Thanks,
