NEKO!!!~ media type="file" key="Greasers.mp3" Greasers -After watching the movie "Greasers" and learning more about them in the __Outsiders__, our class had to write an essay from the point of view of an alien reporting to its superior of what a Greaser was. The greaser we were supposed to talk about was the ones in the movie, however. And were not allowed to use the "Pink Ladies" as an example of greasers. After this essay we are supposed to make a little musical thingy....which I'm dreading right now..... -__-

This is the vocabulary on Charlotte Doyle. It tooook a llloooonnnngggg time for me to find the images. It corresponds to the book and we also ad a test on the vocab, Our class read Confessions of Charlotte Doyle beginning from march. The story is about a very ladylike girl who is placed in a ship full of dirty rough men. In the beginning, she gets close to the captain and thinks that he is a gentleman. However, after finding out how cruel and obnoxious the captain really is, she joins the crew and helps them. Later, when the captain falls out of the ship and dies, Charlotte herself becomes the captain of the ship. This story shows a big change in Charlotte from the beginning to the end. After we read the story, we were to write a story with similar story plot and similar characters, but in different settings. We also made a character analysis of the original story. this consist of the character's personalities and at least two quotes that portray that personality

Nice Job! I am very pleased with this project. The character analysis was very well constructed. The characteristics were true and had the support of the quotes you chose. Your story was also very well constructed. I really enjoyed the creative nature of this story. It was very interesting to see how far you could go from the original story while staying true to the ideals of the story at the same time. You did a wonderful job with it. There were some times where I was starting to question where the connections were, but they were usually there. Great Job!

This presentation looks is really messed up, and I can't seem to find a way to fix it...all the sudden the text turns into light blue when its a black and when I change it to different colors, I think it turns white, or it disappears...I'm having a lot of technological problems here...and it's driving me up the wall

Anyway, this slide show is about "Channel Firing", a poem by Thomas Hardy. It conveys, or tries to convey the deeper meaning of the poem. It also includes some background info on Thomas Hardy, plus the literary devices used in the poem.

I've been having some problems with this one too...the music will not play on the last slide, so I just used that as an advantage and tried to emphasis the slide...but then it wouldn't let me play that picture longer than the other pictures...opps. The music is recorded so that the sideshow sounds old.(I didn't play it!)

And now it says that the file is too big....what do I do?

My Brother Sam is Dead PowerPoint is a summary of chapters 1-14 in that book. It has three sections on each chapter with a picture to go along with each section. These section are to follow the main idea of the story. I was able to absorb and grasp the book better after I finished this powerpoint or keynote. This does not contain the epilogue.

=media type="custom" key="2410189"= The podcast is about Betsy Read's character. My group said that she was patriotic, brave, and nosy. She is Sam's girlfriend and she didn't really contribute to the story all that much with the exception of bothering other characters. My group spent a whole week putting this up and I'd say that we worked hard to finish this podcast.

Was Sam a positive role model for Tim? This essay will answer this question. I think that Sam was not a Positive model for Tim. Examples and proof from the book proves my belief.

Newspaper and Reference This is an imaginary newspaper is a paper for Redding, the town that the Meekers lived in. It is supposed to have three stories with some advertisements that could have been real at those times. One of my stories has some information about the Meekers and the other two are just facts from the American Revolutionary War. Work was supposed to be cited at the end.

Song This music is by BIG BANG, called With U. The pronunciation in the song might be a bit unclear because Big Bang is a Korean Band. There are not a lot of metaphors in this song either, but please bear with it.^^ Everything in my itunes got deleted, so I used a podcast instead.

The emotion conveyed by this poem is sadness. Just so you know, it's pretty sad....but not as sad as my narrative poem. narrative poem- supposed to tell a vivid story with words My story is kind of two stories in one. One is about a boy and the other his sister. He is telling the story by drawing on a blank notebook, if you didn't catch that. symbolism- using something to represent something else some of the symbols I used: a black dot in the middle of a blank paper- a sign of death. You will know this if you ever read "Treasure Island" skull- pirates crow- bad luck
