oh and THX about the book presentation
Do present our SLAM poems to the class, or do we hand them in on paper, or both?
Mr. Buxton, do we all have to memorize our written poems for the SLAM?
Do we need a hard copy of our SLAM poem?
I think both george
Mr.Buxton how come you were on Solinas's account? Is Spencer her tomorrow?
I think he's here for the entire week, Camille.
Anisha, Maya, Alex, and Nick -
We didn't really decide on one topic so shall I make a wallwisher so that we can discuss it?
Well, here it is:

Hey Scott! SLAM is a type of poem that lets you speak strong feelings about world topics. C.O.M.M.A.S. is a technique for remembering comma rules.
Jacquline- I think you should, so you can put the poem into your anthology.
Yes, Jacqueline.
Not much homework...because of the Slam.... not that I want more but...
what does WILF stand for again?
scott! how you doing in your new country?
Mr. Buxton -
Will you be marking the actual document, or will you just mark us based on our presentation of it?
I think Solina was using mr.buxton's computer for google docs and forgot to log-out
WILF stands for What I'm Looking For
Maddy- Probably
If you were inspired by someone to write this slam poem do you add inspired by........?
Anyone in the House of Power book club, please go to the wallwisher. Anyone else, please do not go there!
Thank you so much Maya for being on the wallwisher! Anisha, Alex, and Nick, PLEASE go on! I can't finish my h/w without making a decision!!
How should I talk about a lack of medical supply in a poetic way for my SLAm poem?
Did you know:
Some clouds are more than 10 miles tall
Humans and slugs share more than half of their genes
Astronomers have discovered a star that is made of a 10 billion-trillion-trill carat diamond
A storm on Neptune is a s wide as the entire Earth
There are volcanoes inside glaciers in Iceland
A battery can be made out of potatoes
Chewing gum can make your heart beat faster
A mountain climber carried the olympic torch to the top of Mt. Everest
Mount Everest is not the talllest mountain in the world. There are taller ones under the ocean.
Olympic gold medals are actually more than 90% silver
The flag of every country in the world has a t least one of the five colors of the olympic rings: blue, yellow, black, green, and red.
Eight is a lucky number in China
A chinese man built a bicycle that looks like the olympic rings.
Thousands of Chinese people have named their babies after 2008's olympic mascots: Bei Bei, Jing Jing, Huan Huan, Ying Ying, Ni Ni
Vision uses 1/3 of your brain power
some spiders eat their own web
There is a town called Popcorn, Indiana
Cleopatra became the queen of Egypt when she was only a teenager
Girls have more taste buds than boys
A meteorite once hit a mailbox in Georgia.
It would take about 120 millions years for a jumbo jet to fly all the way across the Milky Way Galaxy.
What's that Anisha your Slam poem???
yes - hard copy with go into your poetry booklet. digital copy will go into your tikatok
on your presentation
angrily!!! - there is not equal access to medical treatment for all poeople. Should how rich you are determine how long you should live? I'd be pretty angry if a family member couldn't get the best treatment because he didn't have the right medical insurance, wouldn't you?
Mr.Buxton please be on the blog my draft of the Slam is coming soon!
Comparisons
By: Han Sohn
We are all special in our own way.
So, don’t compare each other every single day.
It doesn’t matter that…
Our hair colors different,
We sometimes talk weird,
Cause we are all special in our own way.
It doesn’t matter that …
Others are excellent at reading, and you are terrible at writing.
Cause we are all special in our own way.
So what if others are funny and you are not at all.
It doesn’t matter if they have higher reading levels,
Cause we are all special in our own way.
Do others have neater handwriting?
Just don’t care, because we are all special in our own way.
Calculator you say they are
So what, it doesn’t matter.
Artists you say they are
Just forget it, it doesn’t matter.
Cause we are all special in our own way,
So, don’t compare each other every single day.
no i was looking through my notebooks and i found this list of facts i collected from National Geographic Magazines.

Wow Alex, I have less than 350! Well I didn't expect a lot! 980 is a lot though!
I have 462, how did you get so many?
I have 891.
Their names are at the top of the list, so most people will go there when they come to the blog.
wow! CNN student news is really interesting! but, how is it student news? is it just news in kid language, or is the script set by kids and spoken by adults? because i don't see any kids execpt for at the beginning.
I am the boss of me
No one else is the boss of me!
Not the student telling me to give them an answer
Not the teacher assigning extra homework
Why would they bother
They are just not me!
My sister is forcing me to me to be her personal butler
The principle is making me skip a day of school
My coach wants me to run a lap
Plus my mom even wants me to eat my broccoli
They shouldn’t even bother trying to control me
It will end up being a waste of there precious time!
How have they controlled me for so long
Why have I gone along with them
This is all my fault
I should never have let this go on for such a long time!
I will no longer take it
No one will boss me around any more!
I am the boss of me
No one else is the boss of me!
my slam
