What I Learned in English 9/10 Second Quarter

This year as a sophomore I have had lots of fun and also a lot of learning. We are in our second quarter of the year and moving on to our third. In this second quarter I have learned many things in my English 10 second quarter. We have learned about many things in literature like; voice, theme, plot, irony, and ambiguity. In Ms. Priester’s Class she likes to call it, “a paperless classroom”, because that is exactly what it is. In our class we don't use any paper, we use computers. I have learned how to post things online, how to use a blog, how create fun projects, and how to record comments of your voice online. I have learned a lot more about technology in her class by using Google docs, Glogster, and Blogger websites. We also read stories and create graphic organizers that help us organize our thoughts and ideas of the stories we read. Sometimes in the beginning of class we get to watch fun rap videos that talk about the weekly news and the world events going on. Without this class I would have never known about how to use technology this good. I have learned how to convert videos, make URLs, and how to embed things into my blog. I have grown a lot in this class because I am constantly learning new things like online study tools, also as my class moves on every year we mature together and learn new lessons. I cant wait till the next quarter, and until we can all start our junior year.

Shop 'til You Drop Extra Credit

At Shop 'til You Drop I ahd a lot of fun. When I walked in I was greeted by Joan Scott the leader of the Friends of San Pasqual. I got a bag and a nametag. Then they told me to just go and pick out somethings I like. So I went and got some pajama pant, a little notebook, and some new socks for basketball. There was this couple there who were super generous to us all, they spend their own money to buy all of us each an Ipod. They were the new Nanos, and mine was silver. There was even a photo booth there where all the kids could go in and take pictures with all their friends. I took pictures with amy and Breanna. We had a lot of fun. We also got stockings that were full of candy and other nick nacks. they were cute. I am really greatful to the Friends of San Pasqual for doing this for us every year.

"A Lamb to the Slaughter Graphic Organizer"

"Lamb to the Slaughter" - I'm the Detective

If I was a detective investigating the murder of Patrick Maloney in “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl, I would have never excepted anything from Ms. Maloney. If I were the detectives I would never had took the wiskey that she offered to them, and If I was serious about my job and I knew it was wrong i wouldn't of eaten anything in the house, expecially if no evidence had been found yet. While looking for the wheapon I would have asked Ms. Maloney more questions and considered her for a suspect. just because I knew her I would not treat her any different then i would any other qeustion.

Lamb to the Slaughter

At the end of “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl, Mary Maloney begins giggling because she killed her husband with a frozen leg of a lamb, after he said that he was leaving her. She hit him in the back of the head with it a smashed his skull. Then she put the leg in the oven to cook. When the police came, they sent hours looking for the weapon. Mary began giggling when she convinced the policemen to eat the lamb and while they were eating it they were saying that it was probaly right under their nose and it really was. She was luaghing because they never suspected that she was the murderer of her husband. She could have also been giggling because she knew that they were never going to find the weapon because they had just eating it.

Situational Irony in My Life

When I was eight years old I had a dream that someone in my family had gotten hurt and killed. When I woke up I thought that nothing would ever happen to anyone in my family to anyone I knew. I went to school and the entire day was going good and nothing had happened. When I got home from school that day my foster parents were extremely quiet and looked sad. When I saw them I thought about my dream and thought that maybe something had happened to someone in my family or my foster parents family. I was scared to ask them about it because I could tell that something had happened, so I went into my room. When I came out later I was too curious to not know anymore, so I asked them what happened. They told me that something serious had happened and I started to get to scared. They told me that my neighbor had been shot in his chest and was in the hospital. I didn't even know who my neighbor was. I was so scared that it was someone I knew. This was a type of irony in my life because I had thought someone was hurt in my family and in the end it was someone I didn't even know. It was sad, but i didn't know him.
