The song of negative and positive really helped.
Mr.Buxton i was just wondering if we write a song or poem about tare mom do we get a T.Q or is it just for fun i was just wondering.
When did he say that Riya?
are we supposed to do study link 7.7 too?
I know what's what I am wondering Caroline... but I think we only do S.L 7.8
Mr.Buxton don't we have IXL
Your right Maddy I was not paying attention sorry:)
DO WE HAVE TO DO 7.7 MATH LINK?
I would do S.L.7.7 just in case, Caroline.
I would do S.L.7.7 just in case, Caroline.
Guys I need some help!
What should go with this line?
'His face was a non-fiction story'
My 'Metaphor Poem' (where that line came from) is basically about someone who has had a tragedy (or some kind of awful event) occur and he won't tell what happened.
My theme is some thing like this so you know:
His...,
But...
His...,
But...
I feel like chatting http://us3.chatzy.com/57666419872198
you will have a free choice poem to do at the end of the unit. So, yes... you can...
we'll catch up on Study link 7.7 on Friday
no Rachel...what's up.. you don't have enough work!
"Each wrinkle a page of history"
or
"But the ending wouldn't bring the smile"
"But each wrinkle told its own tale"
racehl... you definitely don't have enough work to do!!!!
well to bad then I already mastered 4 skills
and Mr.Buxton what do you mean by I don't have enough work to do?
do we do ixl ?
Mr.Buxton, my metaphor poem will be coming soon
thank you Han
welcome
for my poem should i have climbing and peeking over the mountin or just peeking over the mountin?
I think the 1st one is better Zack, depends on what your poem is about...
Mr. Buxton- You spelt "recording" "recoridng"
Mr. Buxton we do have enough home work we just need to take breaks from it when we run out of ideas so we can refresh our minds.
Zach is write it depends on what your poem is about and what sounds better
but Mr. Buxton did say that in a poem is better to express your facts in shorter sentences.
Julia....
Maddy, go to my blog for my paragraphs
Maddy, one part is on a comment on your blog
Will post on my blog
Han- They would balance each other out, so -987+987 would equal 0
i chose viva la vida! and mr. buxton i know you said it was a bad choice but the song has a good meaning, at least to me it does :)
Thanks SO much!!! (Jac and Rohan)
Ughhh Metaphor poem coming soon have to type it up..............
Mr.Buxton how many lines should our Metaphor Poem have?
Thanks
Minimum-8 lines
Maximum-16 lines
The sea is a caring lioness
Devouring defenseless lives
Frighting away other beasts
With its all might roar
If it dares to enter the prides territory
The sea can create
a terrifying roar
scattering those who are near
sending them fleeing to far
to save their precious lives
The sea is a hunter
Stalking up from behind
All seeming innocent
But that isn't to be
The sea is a carnivore
Ripping the flesh
of the unknowing victim
Letting it pride
Survive and thrive
To really get the last part of this poem, you have to know that a group of lions is called a pride. I used a play on word.
My Family is a Garden
By: Han Sohn
My family is a garden
My mother is a flower,
As gentle as can be
My father is a path,
Guiding me along
My family is a garden
My aunt is a butterfly,
Soaring from place to place.
My uncle is a bee,
Buzzing through the air
My family is a garden
My cousins are the bushes
My grandfather is a tree,
And my grandmother are the roots.
han- really nice! but i think in your last stanza you should continue with the pattern of giving an example of what they do, like
my uncle is a bee
buzzing all over the place
Anisha what was your sentece you chose???
Oh thanks Anisha! I also think yours is very powerful
i took one from my metaphor lines and changed it up a bit. mr.buxton, why did i get a TQ for asking if we could do that? you said we could, i was just double checking.
Thanks Han! Welcome Han!
Charms- we are going to spend snack recess rehersing the spreaker
I-CHECK TOMORROW! I HEARD SOME OF IT IS HARD!
Mr.Buxton am I allowed to change The classroom was a battleflied to somthing deeper like the materials the classroom used like guns swords canons??????
nope. nevermind. I'm doing sing instead of viva la vida. has a message. my printer isn't working. does anyone mind printing out my poem and the lyrics to my song? they will be up on the blog in 5 mins
thanks!
I will do it for u Sabine
Anisha, you get a T.Q because you noticed Luphia
thanks han. it will be up there in 2-5 mins.
Han, i posted it. I have to go to bed now but thanks for being so helpful. That deserves a T.Q., Mr. Buxton!
it's late Sabine... go to sleep!
Sabine your song is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 2 long!
It need to fit on 1 page, but it fits on 3 pages!!!
no it's not!! i know i should be in bed but i snuck out. anyways how's it too long? probably it's because it's the glee version and they added alot of sentences to it. but it is a very good song with a very good meaning!!
uhhh but...
literally it is 3 pages!
I need to go to bed now bye, but I got it printed
see ya! ;)
I chose Iridescent by Linkin Park in A Thousand Suns album. If you think I'm not stepping out of my comfort zone you're wrong because I'm singing all by myself today or tomorrow. I don't exactly need the lyrics because I already know them but still... Just incase.
P.S It's not too late It's just too early because I need to print out the lyrics using this laptop
