Passion Project

My project would be to make a sports camp for 5-9 year olds. We would teach kids how to play basketball and soccer. This would help the smaller kids get used to the games so that they could have even more fun when they start playing for the next season. Some places that we are thinking of asking to see if we could use there facilities  are Bounce, the Rec, and the Y. We would get this out there for the public to see by posters and also the internet.

Reflection on the first quarter

        This quarter I have learned about important events that have been happening around the world. I have learned more about Ferguson then I would at home. I learned both sides of the Ferguson story and also came up with my own opinion of what happened that day. I also learned more in detail about what is happening with Ebola. I learned that it started in Africa and has now come over to the US and is now starting to infect American citizens. I have also thought of my own opinions on what we should do with Ebola after researching about it and finding out how other countries are dealing with it.

         My research has also improved this quarter because of all of the topic that we have had to research. My research has gone up causing the product of my projects in any class to go up. I have learned different kinds research techniques  like staying away from websites like wikipedia, ask, and answers.com.  I also have learned to cite my sources which gives better credibility to the websites that I had in my project

Then And Now Book Blog

Prompt:Analyse the difference between my first blog and my last one.

The first difference in noticed between my first blog and the last was the grammar mis spelled words. In my first blog my writing was choppy and had lost of errors but after doing them so long I my writing has gotten a lot better grammar wise. In the beginning of seventh grade I miss spell simple words because I would try and finish quickly. But after a year of doing things I have gotten used to taking my time and trying to go over my final writing.

The second difference is see is that my summaries had gotten more detailed and I have learned to not just add quotes as my evidence or details. My first blog was the bear minimum of what I had to right it was't very interesting and didn't have detail. Now after a year of blogging my details have gotten more in-depth and since I have been writing with more detail my paragraphs have gotten longer and more interesting.

Deathwatch Literary Devises and Imagery Revised

Prompt:
0-100

       This book in about a boy named Ben that agreed to be a guide for a man named Madeac who is hunting bighorns. Madeac is a cruel person that shoots anything that moves the only reason why Ben agreed to be his guide is because he will get paid for it. After a day or two in the desert Madeac accidentally shot an old prospector walking alone in the dessert. The problem is that Madeac realizes that Ben will testify against him and to solve this problem Madeac stripes Ben naked takes all his water away and makes him walk the rest of the way back to the nearest road.  

       Imagery in this book was used a lot more then literary devises so far. The Imagery did help with making the scene more dramatic and also helped transferring scenes. The example I wanted to point out is 'his feet bleeding again, staining the moonlight on the stones". This saying that Ben has been walking for so long that his feet are blistering up and it is also describes the scene because it is saying that the moon light is very bright and making the stones glisten.

        Literary devises lacked in this book so far it hasn't had any similes, idioms, metaphors, analogies E.X. If this book had more literary devises it would be a lot more interesting and easier to read. This book so far has been a little dry with it having know literary devises if it did have idioms similes and things like that it would make the book a little easier to read and also makes it more entertaining then just people talking back and forth.

Ripper Writing techniques

Prompt: Writing Techniques
Pages read 0-50

        The first technique that I want to talk about is the style that the author used. The words in this book that the author used made the book seem mysterious and also kinda evil. A quote that I want to use from the text is "Im not buckled yet and the knife's still nice and sharp for more grand work" I don't know about you but I would not want to run into that person that wrote that letter. The author would also add word like gloom, dim, what if, and careful to add mystery to the book. The audience that I think the author wanted to target was kids in there teens because some of these word that are in this book are a little more violence and complicated to understand.

         The second technique that I want to talk about is the mood of the book. In the beginning of the book you could just tell that something was going to go just because of the setting the setting gave of a feeling of danger. In the first scene you are going down into a dark basement with a man with only a lamp for light that just shouts trouble, well you know how the rest goes. After I read this first part of the book  I felt like there was someone watching me even though there is know one there.

          I the second scene the mood was completely different it was more of a mystery or hopeful kinda mood. The main characters name is Calvin and he was in the attic trying to find out who his parents where and if they were still alive. When doing this he would be breaking the law for looking at peoples reports but he dose not care. He finally picked the lock and got into the cabinet with all the kids information and he found his name the only thing in the folder was a note, a note from his father. Calvin read this note over and over again trying to make anything out of it. After I read this part of the book I kinda felt bad for Calvin because all he wanted was to know who his family was but instead I just found a note that really meant nothing.
