Two Voice Poem

Andrew Frost:                                                                                   Rew:

I have experienced anger issues                                                    I just started reacting to mine
    
                                                          We are the same

I've seen it's consequences                                                           I haven't hurt anyone
         
                                                       Our red hair resembles us 

I wish I can take it back                                                              Everyone wishes it won't happen

                                                         Anger is apart of us

I lost close ones because of it                                                      I still have everyone

                                                          It's inevitable 

The pain hurts inside                                                                   It won't hurt me 

                                                      That's what they all say

It almost made me cry                                                                 I'm not like you

                                                       We are equal 

My dreams were crushed                                                              I'm sure it won't be tough

                                                     That's what we think

I though the same                                                                           I won't be the one to blame

                                                    Containment is key

I'm telling you. You wont be the same                                  I know what I'm doing I have more brains                                  
                                                     Be careful what you say

3rd quater reflection

3/13/15




              This third quarter was tough going, but interesting. This was the most challenging quarter of my life so far. I had to work really hard and manage my time right, to get my grades back up. Also this quarter, we took the constitution test. Which I wasn't to fond of because I got 77/87, which is a B. I was at an F in math in the begging of this quarter. Although, I did get it up t a B, my parents weren't satisfied. This is a wake up call for me to work harder and finish my class work.

             Even though it was a challenging quarter, I improved on a lot of things this quarter. My blogs have improved since the last two quarters. Also my objective summary's have improved recently. I forgot to put the author's name in the topic sentence and put to much details in the whole paragraph. I learned how to wright different types of poetry. One example is my rhyme scheme poem. We have recently did our extended metaphor. It's posted on my blog if you would like to read it.

            This has been an amazing quarter, besides it being challenging. I hope the next quarter won't be as challenging because I feel I have to much work to do and get stressed out. However, I always love a challenge and feel I always need to come out on top. I'm really looking forward to the next quarter.

Here's some of my rhyme scheme poems.

                 

Extended Metaphor Poem

3-12-15

Two choices in my face

Basketball and football

They were both a huge part of my life

But I could only choose one

Two different groups of friends waiting for me

They want my big choice

Which ever one I don’t choose may despise me

But I could only choose one

The football kids will say I’m to soft to play football.

The basketball kids will say I left my brothers hanging.

Football has concussions

Basketball knee and ankle injuries

But I could only choose one

I have made my choice.

I choose basketball

The football kids just say “ok” and joined us

Then later we played football

I realized we could do both

But I could only choose one at a time.

Zebra Forest Bio Poem.

Rew


Outrageous, curious, intelligent, hateful

A character in Annie B's story  

Love of Grams, Annie B, Zebra forest, pirate books, and Chess

Who notices when he's bad at a game and when someone is lying

Who feels angry when he is let down and lied to

Who learns how to beat everyone at Chess and disobey the enemy

Who used to think their grandma was truthful, but now knows she lies

Major character in Zebra Forest

A book that will shock and interest you.

Picture Poem- "The Big Game"

Today was the day.

The big championship game.

The Mustangs are playing GBS

They’re down two points.

They can tie with a layup or

Take the lead with a three

They can play it smart

Or take the lead

10 seconds left.

It’s Over Time now

He gets the ball

He dribbles fast down the court it makes people say wow.

He crosses one defender than another

He goes to the three pointer and shoots now

It looks like it’s good

It rises up and up

Then you hear the sound of iron

changing both the teams mood

Then it bounces out as the buzzer is heard

Game Over

Global Collaboration- Final Draft

       My level of global awareness was low before 7th grade. I didn't really explore, I just hear of events on the radio and the news. However, all I hear about involves wars, killing, bombing, etc. It's very depressing to hear  all of those things, and I wish they told some good news for once. I think I started getting interested in world news during the World Cup. Seeing all those different cultures and religions in one place was beautiful. However, it could've been dangerous because they could dislike each other.

      My collaboration with the Indian and Swedish pen pals put two more cultures in my global awareness. I learned how they talk, where they go to school,and what religions they were. I also learned different games and different types of food they have. I got to see what their school was like and how they learn. Sweden has a different process from Heritage. They don't have the 1:1 program. India also doesn’t have computers. Instead they have study rooms and have different books for each subject.

    The perspective I had on other cultures has changed throughout this project. I thought, since we had computers that they would also have them. They have similar activities as us, but different believes. In India, they have different types of dances and a school team for the game Khoo-Khoo. In America, Khoo Khoo is tag. Therefore, I thought it was weird they had a school team for it.

   The most shocking thing I saw, was from the Swedish group. They have such a big school. They have all types of playgrounds, basketball courts, soccer fields and stuff like that. Their cafeteria is huge. They sometimes get to choose what they want the cooks to make for them! Although, as I mentioned before, they don't have the 1:1 program. That means they don’t have computers to take home. This project is  fun, and I hope to find more interesting facts about these kids.
