Dialogue Example

"Psst, Susie!  What's the answer to question two?" Calvin hissed.

Susie responded back, "Eli Whitney and the Cotton Gin."

"But this is a math problem?" he said confused.

"It's a trick question," she said sarcastically.

"How come you wrote something different?" Calvin said suspiciously.

"I'm going to get this question wrong so it won't look like you copied," Susie responded with a grin.

10-15 Things You Wished You Could Do

Due Friday, November 15

Here is the beginning of my Post

1. Blow my nose- No, I'm not kidding, I cannot physically blow my nose. This is a medical mystery, and when I have a stuffy nose everyone around me suffers!

2. Play Guitar- Does playing Guitar Hero count? Yes, I have heard of the phrase, " if you put your mind to it, you can do anything". The fact that I can't clap in rhythm gives me minimal chance of being the next John Mayer.

3. Draw Bubble letters- I was the student in Art class that used stencils to create Bubble letters. It is highly debatable whether I am a better musician or a better artist. When I asked my wife, she just laughed.

Innovators impress me!  Where would we stand today without instrumental people like Henry Ford?  No, he did not invent the automobile, but what he accomplished was truly remarkable.  Transportation is critical to the daily lives of people worldwide.  His vision of producing automobiles for middle class citizens revolutionized the car industry.  What once was a luxurious item is now considered an everyday item for most.  Almost 100 years later, assembly lines produce large quantities of items including cars, and Ford's original vision has left a mark globally.

GR. 6 & 7 WEEKLY BLOG POST

Weekly Blogpost

Learning Goal:  To present 3 to 5 important personal items, orally, visually and in written form.

Success Criteria:

•   Represent at least 3-5 important items that you own
•   It’s clear you put some thought into your item selection
•   Post pictures with descriptions on why the objects are important to you

The first important item that I own is my golf ball that I used for my hole in one.  Although it was four years ago, I remember the day like it was yesterday.  I approached the 8th tee at Tangle Creek golf course with minimal confidence after struggling through the first 7 holes.  The hole was playing 177 yards with the wind at my back.  When I hit the ball on the clubface it soared through the air, bounced on the green and rolled into the hole.  It was a moment that I will never forget!  According to Golf digest the odds of an amateur getting a hole in one is 1 in 12 750.  Even today, I occasionally check the Tangle Creek website to view my name under the hole in one club, it's always a great feeling.
