Mac Computers

 

Next year the future 6th graders are getting Macs.  I am so excited because we are getting 1 to 1 Macs! I think that I am going to be better at research, and I think that I will be more organized. Even though I have a PC I am still looking forward to getting Macs. My PC is good but it lags. A lot. I think I am going to do better because I will be able to do research in class because some classes don’t have computers and getting them out of the cart is a big hassle and you can do things in spare time instead of at home. Overall I am excited about next year!

Story

I analyzed the data. I composed a song. I put it on a disk. It was extraordinary, but I was apprehensive that it might get lost. I enveloped it. Then sent it in. There was no trace it was me. They sent me a letter saying … Rejected. I was so frustrated that I set up solar panels to move the revolving door. I fused myself to the door. I went round and round and round and round.

Photo Journalism

I chose an image about an underground cave. I chose this picture because I would like to go there and explore. It is also really neat. I feel like the person in the picture, looking around in a cave, going up the rope after an adventure. This picture makes me feel adventuress. For each picture I get a different feeling. It all changes with the picture.

A jungle inside a cave? A roof collapse long ago in Hang Son Doong let in light. Plants thickly followed. As “Sweeny” Sewell climbs to the surface, hikers struggle through the wryly named Garden of Edam.

Homeless Bird

In class we are reading Homeless Bird. There is Koly, who is the main character, Hari, who died, Koly’s mother and father in law. When Hari died the mood was glum and bla. When I heard that Koly was getting married I was weirded out because she is only 13. Koly had to leave her home, get married then have her husband die is really sad. We have been also seeing bird imagery which is when you read something you think of birds.
