ReplyDeleteis this a precept and if it is is it a good one?
ReplyDeleteIt only hurts when you start pretending it doesn't.

ReplyDeleteThere are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me."

Read the info in the package Nick. It will help you
Wait, this one
ReplyDeleteThere are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me."
Is the second one good?
ReplyDeleteLife will knock you down but it's weather you choose to get back up or stay down.
ReplyDeleteIs this a good precept
or is it even a precept
Can someone give an example for the Thesis Statement. I don't get if its persuasive or what?
ReplyDeletewhat about this:
ReplyDeleteBeing kind makes you beautiful. Being rude makes you ugly.
Is this a good precept? I crafted it but no idea if its good...
ReplyDeleteWhen people drag you down, it is your choice whether to bring yourself up and other people up or let them drag you down.
And what about this one? I also crafted this one.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter what you actually do, it matters about the choices you make on them.
Good job, Han. You are really going out of your way to find precepts!
ReplyDeleteIsn't a precept just like a message?
ReplyDeleteheres another one:
ReplyDeleteJust because you think it's right, doesn't make it right.
Is this a good precept?
ReplyDeleteThe closest people to you could actually turn out to be the farthest from you.
Caroline- basically yah
ReplyDeleteis this a precept?(its not mine)
ReplyDeleteThe world doesn't revolve around you.
For the sticky that we wrote today would that be your whole essay or just a paragraph???
ReplyDeleteIs this a good precept?
ReplyDeleteThe closest people to you could actually turn out to be the farthest from you.
Harrisen- Just a paragraph

ReplyDeleteHan- thx
ReplyDeleteIs this a precept?
ReplyDeleteIf a million people do a stupid thing, it is still a stupid thing.
Yah those are good precepts. I bet a precept is kind of like a riddle but has an important message behind it.
ReplyDeleteHarrisen- i think that would only be a paragraph.
Han -
ReplyDeleteYour precept is REALLY good, here is how you COULD make it less wordy:
When people drag you down, it's your choice whether or not to bring yourself back up or let them keep you down.
Harrisen -
ReplyDeleteThe paragraph we wrote today was basically summarizing our thoughts about each of the 4 steps. We will expand on each step later, but that can be you basic idea. Mr. Buxton said that the whole thing should be a page to a page and a half of typed text.
This is what I have of my thesis statement so far:
ReplyDeleteBeauty and the Beast is capable of making its reader think deeply because the characters have important links, ___________, ____________, and ___________.
Is it good? The ______ will be more examples of my opinion.
Thx, but is this a good thesis statement:
ReplyDelete"Snatch for the living not for the dead." Thank you m'am by Langston Hughes clearly shows that the main characters only desire is to be compassionate to poor kids that have NOTHING and rob for money.
Maddy- thanks
ReplyDeleteWhat i learned in wonder is to learn to be understanding when it's worth it

ReplyDeletecan someone please respond to my comment
ReplyDeletethis is my thesis. i will definetly elaborate on it. but a question: for beauty and the beast i couldn't find the youngest daughter's name. does anyone know it?
ReplyDelete(youngest daughter) doesn't deserve to live in poverty with her father. the ones who really deserve it are her greedy brothers and sisters who complain about everything.
ALSO!! is this a good precept?
if you live in fortune during life, you will live at the bottom in death, though those who keep behind in life will rise to the top in living death. it is your call in deciding which is more worthy.
harissen, i don't think your thesis is very arguable. one of the reasons might be that i haven't read the book, but if i had, i wouldn't be able to give an opposite opinion.
ReplyDeleteSabine- One part of the story says that everyone called her Beauty, so I called her that in my essay
ReplyDeleteeveryone this is an AMAZING precept by olivia in mrs c's class:
ReplyDeletei consider myself a crayon. i might not be your favorite color, but you will need me one day to finish your picture.
on page nine it gives 5-6 instructions
ReplyDeletedo those all go in one thesis
BELLE!!!!!
