My Character

As I fall asleep well at least try to fall asleep everything goes through my head. Why does it have to be right nowI just want to sleep. I start worrying i didn't do all my homework if I get one more bad grade my parents will flip. Great now I am scared that I will have a bad grade and my plans will be ruined.

Why do these things have to stress me out so much. Why am I such a stressful person. Go to bed.Go to bed. Thats all I want to do. Oh no I forgot to finnish English homework. I knew it!

E Book

I am so excited to write this ebook! I have lots of ideas for what our class could come up with. I am a very creative person and would love if I could do lots of things with the design. It could be a very cool and fun ebook.

This is a different way for the class to write things. I think this will help us write lots of things in a short time. I am excited to get started on the ebook. I am just a little confused on the time we have. But I think the time we have the class should all get to write the same amount.  

Reading Response

A recent writing I have read was a student literacy narrative in my block. I do not recall who wrote this but the way they wrote very well and the way their sentences flew together made the narrative very intriguing. Even though I did have lots of marks on their page for corrections it was still a very well written paper.

I liked the way the writer was so honest on what they were writing about. The writer also made everything connect very well. It had a great idea to it. Most of the corrections I made where for dialogue or format other than that the paper very a very well written organized paper.

Reading Response

I never expected to enjoy a fiction book so much. Kisses from Katie has made me want to sit down and read all the time now. I not only enjoy the story line but I also enjoy how the layout of the book is. It has entries from her journal and really makes me feel like I am apart of her life.

I highly suggest this book to anybody who wants to read about a girl on a life changing journey. She over comes many obstacles and changes who she is in an even better way then she already was. I have really enjoyed reading this book and I will probably read it more than once or twice. 

Dialogue

Kim goes up to Emma this morning in the kitchen
"Are you excited for your first day of high school?" says Kim
"Yes I am hoping it will be fun" says Emma
"Make sure you stay focused on your school work and have a good day" says Kim as Emma walks out the back door to leave for school

Before Emma has even gotten into the car Kim is already asking questions
"Emma did you enjoy your first day?" Says Kim
"Yes I did I liked all my teachers" Emma replies
"Well thats good!"
"I think it will be a good year, I know Anna enjoyed her freshman year" says Kim
"I agree I am excited and think I will have a good 4 years!" Says Emma as she falls asleep after a long first day of high school in the car.

Writing Response 3- Literacy Narrative

Recently I read an article on safety. This article taught me many things. It was mainly for girls when they are by them self and how they need to realize how dangerous things can be. My mom sent me this article and told me to read it! I learned many new things like when you walk to your car do not unlock it till you are there, lock your car when filling it up with gas, and always try to act like you know what you are doing and where you are.

This article was very good. I enjoyed it because it taught me some safety information. I did not want to read it at first but in the long run it could help me! If I can find the title and who wrote it I will post it. It is a very helpful article with lots of information!

Reading Response 3- Kisses From Katie

Kisses From Katie might be one of the best books I have ever read! My counselor from camp never stopped talking about how much she loved it and I decided I had to read it! It is not like something I usually read, but I think I have found a new genre I like! I highly suggest this book to people if you want to read about a life changing and inspiring story. Even though it is fiction it is not not just packed full of information it is a story of an amazing girl who wants to help the world!

This book is about a 18 year old girl and how she thinks God wants her to take a year off and not go to college to teach kids in Uganda. She gives up her whole life to serve people who have nothing when she has everything. She was homecoming queen and senior class president and she was a selfless person who could give up everything to serve! I highly suggest this book it is truly amazing!
