(I think...)


Covert is hiding from a bully or not standing up for yourself... Overt is the opposite, Overt is stanfing up for yourself and not hiding...

MR.BUXTON- can you add to your blog post that we have scince homework tomorow....

Jacqueline said...

Han, in my opinion I don't really think "but" is a good word to start a sentence

Jacqueline said...

Nick, you spelled science wrong

Camille B. said...

NO Han if you do it's a VERY week sentence if you put but in a piece of text keep it in a sentence.

Camille B. said...

oh see i used it there but not all sentences are weak but most are not interesting. (i used it again)

Maddy Z said...

No Han, you NEVER start a sentence with a pronoun. You CAN have one in a sentence, though (remember FANBOYS)!

Unknown said...

no that is NOT the definition of covert and overt

no Han.. use However,

Yes Nick - Science H/W due tomorrow!

Covert bullying is bullying in secrecy.
Overt bullying is bullying in the open.

Maddy Z said...

Character/ Setting Description #1

The cameras watch every move, tracking the rare creature silently. With all their up-to-date machinery, the reporters reach no comparison against the stealthiness of its sunset paws. Even though at this time it couldn’t be prevented, nothing held onto Mekka’s heart more than to finally show the world the consequences of its actions. Lugging a heart broken from her ancestor’s mistakes, Mekka lay each paw gently on the ground, making her way across the only stretch of greenery still existing.. Camouflaging into the tall grass with the help of orange and black stripes, Mekka bounded across the one patch of the grasslands still existing. As the tail flickered out of sight, the camera crew longed to venture out further and follow the rare sight of an animal. Overhead, the sun creeped into bed, leaving behind a trail of a brilliant blend consisting of deep reds, oranges, and yellows. As the grasslands abruptly halted to a stop, Mekka cast a final glance at her surroundings. Why was it left up to Mekka to tell off the world because of nature's extinct beauty? Why was it left up to Mekka to star in a fake nature show for spoilt brats? Why was it left up to Mekka to...
It stopped too quickly. The transformation lasted precisely 26 seconds, and the transformation could have lasted only half of the given time.
