Poetry
In English class we are learning about how to write poetry. Mrs. Hibler read us the poem "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost and had us analyse it to find the true meaning of the poem. Robert Frost used figurative language to make his poem interesting. We have to write a ten line poem on any subject we want. I like this unit because of its creativity and self expression.

Adjectives
In language arts, we are learning about different types of adjectives. In our SVG Packet 9, we have to identify the adjective(s) in each sentence. We also had to fill in the blank with an adjective. Adjectives are cool because they help you describe who or what you're talking about. Some different adjectives are nice, colorful, crazy, smart, and silly. |
Five Paragraph Essay
In English we learned how to correctly write a 5 paragraph essay. A 5 paragraph essay has to have 3 body paragraphs. It also needs a thesis statement and and introduction paragraph. We also had to write a 5 paragraph essay about Samurais and Knights. I liked this lesson because it was fun writing paragraphs. |
Renaissance Project
In English we learned about the Renaissance. We had pick a person from that time period and do a project about them. We had to find contributions and biographical information on the person and put it on a poster. We made two posters, one for Computers and one for CORE. When the project was due, we had to present it to the whole class. We could bring bribes like cookies or chips make people vote our Renaissance person into the Renaissance Hall of Fame. In the end my person William Shakespeare was not voted into the Hall of Fame. |
