Week 6 Day 2

Showing Not Telling -Day 2  ENVY

Katie's feeling spread across the room as she looked at all the boys and girls wit htheir fancy suits and dresses for photo day. A purple sparkled dress flourished in the room and out of Katie's ears came steam. Katie had a plain white skirt with stains and faded demin denim shorts. With curled hair and a sparkled dress, Katie tried to keep it together. Katie pleaded with Mrs. Bellshaw to take her out of the photograph. Katie wanted that dress so badly.

As the people walked by, they stopped and stared at the dark, fudge chocolate cake. Adults and kids made pandemonium all around the cashier. Molly, the cute girl with bouncy pigtails noticed the crowd and scurried to see what was happening. Seeing the fudged chocolate cake, she pleaded with big kitty eyes, but her father refused to buy her even one piece.

    Hey Mr Buxton! Did you use Flip share to make the video? Because I noticed the music and the way the scene changed.

    Han- You click on your name, then click edit profile, then scroll down a bit, and you will see a heading called Photograph, it will then say download computer. And then wait till the picture shows, then scroll and click save profile
    And thats how you put a picture on the comments.
    You can also change name and type a little bit about your self.

    Your welcome Han!

    Nakul-EMERGENCY!-kidding-but you do need to add two more photos to your photovisi-the minimum is 10 and you only have 8. Otherwise, I think it's good.

    mr buxton, i have a mac with 2 accounts. On my account, all the photos and my photovisi are there. But my account just keeps loading and loading something. It is almost like it is frozen! What am I supposed to do? I don't have enough time to find them again and make the photovisi again! May I do it at school? It won't take long at all. Just about 10-15 mins. I will use my recess.

    Mr. Buxton, It won't let me import the pictures from my thumbdrive drive to my photovisi! My dad said that they were the incorrect format pictures. How do you import pictures from the internet to Photovisi?

    one vocab word i found was delinquent. One question is why was Mr.Watson when he said we won't be seeing anything under zero for 4-5 days? Why does Brian act like such a jerk and brat all the time? The 3rd question is why does Brian not just pull his lips of the window i wold be like a bandaid?

    Aditya, the book club thing you say (or type, in this case) in the time of the book club.:)

    ReplyDelete
  57. zmashSeptember 20, 2011 at 9:38 PM

    For the book club vocabulary thing you have to write a sentence, write what it is (noun, etc), write the word down, write other words that describe it, draw it, and write what it means. Does anyone know if there is anyhting else to do?
    P.S. I don't have the vocab instructions.
