If you use your time well in class, your H/W load is far less. People not using class time effectively are seeing there H/W load grow.

ReplyDeleteJust to confirm -
Tonight we read until the end of Chapter 18 (I think?) and do the skill focus of 'Learning Curve'.
I just want to point out it is possible to get a S++ in Mr.Buxtons class. To prove it,Toto and Isha got S++ for there glogster.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think so...
ReplyDeleteAnisha's idea for fantasy (I don't think it is really good, but it is something I can work with. I had to do this before 4 or I wouldn't have been able to have gotten feedback):
ReplyDeleteA shape shifter gets stuck in a deformed shape. All dignity has escaped her. Antagonist says that they can help. Antagonist just wants the power so he can carry out plans of crime.
This is just Anisha's seed idea. For more details, ask later. Just say if the idea is worth writing.
yes maddy but we read to the END of chapter 18
ReplyDeleteyes maddy but we read to the END of chapter 18
ReplyDeleteAnisha was typing on my account. I personally like her idea.

ReplyDeleteMR.BUXTON- do we really cut out the shape on the studly links?
ReplyDeleteI always say the H/w in class and also write it on the week at a glance sheet......not there is not always a guarantee that everybody is listening. what do you not have that you need?
ReplyDeleteIf you forgot the study link, then just print it from the blog.
anisha which chapter do we read to?
ReplyDeletein the theif lord???
16
ReplyDeleteNick
Does it ask you to cut out the shapes?
ReplyDeleteif you mean n the study link 11.1 then yes mr. buxton
ReplyDeleteLots of questions relate to that fantasy idea... Story has potential.... What is the message?
ReplyDeletei have an idea...plot: A candy shop is just about to open and all these kids are in line to get some new fresh candy. What the kids don't know is that the candy has evil powers in it and they will get sick after there 5th piece of candy. For some reason one kid doesn't get sick at all. the next day the kid figures out that all the other kids that went are sick so he battles against the old evil candy owner witch and wins by eating her weapon... The End
ReplyDeleteHan/Riya do we read to chapter 17 or 16 because i have a lot of things on. I had after school and i have to eat dinner out which gives me only 1:30hours - 2hours
ReplyDeletemr. buxton my idea is a group of kids get these super pwers when they were born by this machine they were testing and it broke. conflict between adults and kids begins. the government starts to pay people for their children and the government starts to mutate them as well and create a human army of mutated kids to rule the world
ReplyDeleteThanks, George!
ReplyDeleteMr.Buxton - the message is that looks can be deceiving. Wow. That's funny, because my character is a shapeshifter.... I did not think about that when I made it a shapeshifter.
How much money would you invest in my story>
ReplyDeleteI am going to write my other idea anyway, but it won't be a turned in piece. It is just something I really want to write.

ReplyDeletehere is a video on volume of a cone
Rachel - has potential $3 million
ReplyDeleteCarter - it seems too complicated... far too much happening... sounds more like horror than fantasy... needs work
Anisha - go for it J.K. Rowling...i'll be very interested to read your plot
Rachel, what's even the moral/message behind your story?
ReplyDeletedoes that mean it is worth more than $3 million? That is what I got for the last one.
ReplyDeleteMr.Buxton!
"innocent" in Czech is "nevinny"
Neville nevinny
what if i changed the army thing to where the government simply just tries to take the kids to learn from them to learn how to duplicate them so there is more super powered kids i got the idea from a FANTASY book called micheal vey but obviously changed it like i changed the kids and their powers and also it's the governments idea not a random company and other stuff
ReplyDeleteis the conflict between parents and kids good? need to know because i need to write some but cant until i get an answer
ReplyDeleteMr.Buxton - question about dialogue: sometimes in text, it goes from 3rd person to 2nd person like this:
ReplyDeletePodo asks what happened? Why are you so careless?
I can't decide which of the following to name my main character's mother (also the antagonist)!
ReplyDeleteShe is Italian and these are popular names of Italian women:
a. Camilla (NO relation to Camille)
b. Vera
c. Giovana
Yes Carter but a war is over the top
ReplyDeleteIt's different in the case of dialogue, like when you're speaking to someone...
ReplyDeleteVera would be cool because a name starting with V makes it cooler and more cunning. Not trying to be mean to people that have names starting with V but it just suits it somehow. It can't be described in words.

ReplyDeletenakul but there is no war i took that part out and changed it to a conflict between them
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you do what I do? Go to google translate. translate to Latin (If Latin doesn't work, try Czech). type in something of your characters personality, and find the translation. take a part of the translated word, and make your name! (you might even want to translate it to italian)
ReplyDeleteshould i even put the conflict in (between adults and kids)
ReplyDeleteYeah that's fine! Conflict doesn't always mean physical.
ReplyDeleteGeorge, Anisha, and Nick!
I created to docs for Book clubs what is nick's email
never mind found it
ReplyDeleteIn case you are wondering what I mean, Maddy, here is an example:
ReplyDeleteMekka- gizlemek (Turkish) - disguise
Tiril - mentiroso (Portugese) - liar
Nevice - nevinny (Czech) - innocent
Podo - podporovat (Czech) - support
Nakul - made someting, too. Looks pretty good. Having trouble printing.... why is yours blank? what was meant to be there?
Emma and Jacqueline we are reading to chapter 13.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean Anisha
ReplyDeleteYes! Mr Buxton, I think this is a story I can fit on 2-3 pages!
ReplyDeleteYeah! Our class is redeeming its old standard of around 70 comments per day (slowly)!
why is your google docs blank?
ReplyDeleteI made something for book club, too. It is a diagram thingy. It should work decently.
I used that for the name of the city they live in!
ReplyDeleteControllia, Italy (Controlled in Italian is Controlla)
