6B Homework!

Humanities: Finish puzzle piece for tomorrow!

where im from

I'm from warm cozy place,
where there is no such thing as race.

swimming, swimming in the thing,
so big its shaped as a ring.

stop i see this light,
shining sight so bright.

i see my mother,
standing next to my brothers

holding me,
loving me,
caring for me.

they take me away,
there i lay.

I'm sad, mad
I'm not with my dad

but somehow i know,
everything is going to be okay.

6B Homework!

Math: do double sided ratio sheet for tomorrow.

Don't forget to study the first coloumn on the French word search for tomorrow!

Response on David Greenberg

This one's for you Mr.G

Response on Author David Greenberg’s performance

When Mr. G told us that we would hear a writer talk to us, I was actually quite happy because I enjoy listening to writers give little pointers to aspiring authors like me. I think that anyone at the assembly who was paying attention could have taken a lot out of David’s presentation because he spoke in easy kid language and he made sense. I think his poems are amazing in two ways, one, he used great rhyming words but still maintained the flow that he wanted to and two, he cared about what he wrote.

I understood when he said it took him one month to write his poems because I know from experience that everything doesn’t just come to you at once and even if it does you can always make what your thinking more interesting on paper. Anyways, when I write my short stories it also takes me one to two months to write it because sometimes I have to edit more than four copies to get one amazing piece of literature.

My favorite thing that David spoke about was the three components of writing because I really agree with them. I also liked when David spoke about how cool and crazy things happen to all people. I never really think of what’s happening in my own family yet when David mentioned it and gave examples, a lot of crazy things have happened to me and my friends and those crazy amazing things would make a great poem. David writes great poems/short stories and hopefully I will too some day. Even now when I read back at what I write, my writing skills are maturing just like me. Most of the things that David said I agree with and his comments sparked a part of my brain that holds my writing.

For me writing solves all my issues, good and bad. When I’m angry I write in a darker tone usually thinking of black; when I’m happy I write jumpy little poems with bright colors; and when I’m sad I write about gloomy things like wars with the color grey in mind. Literature is everywhere; you just have to look for it.

Poem by Emma

Heaven


Where is it
Is it really true or
Do they just say it
because they don’t want us to feel bad


Are you able to communicate
Are you able to think
Can you do everything you can do here
Or is it just your inside that leaves

Is it up in the clouds
Is it in the air or
Is it nothing but a black hole

Do you come back down or
Is it just
The end

extra inside bookbinding sheets

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if Mr.G. or anyone had 2 extra inside bookbinding sheets because I accidentally messed up again.

P.S.

Mr. G. maybe you could tell me the size of the paper if you don't have any extras and I will try to get it.

Thanks so much

Isabelle

Poem from Adam Sanders

Where I’m From

I am from
Where there is never ending rain
Where the beaver lives on the nickel
From where there is a crunchy soft white blanket
That covers the ground

I am from
Where the caribou roam
From where their thick fur shines in the rays of sun
I am from where dew trickles off the grass in the morning
Like a leaky faucet

From where the eagles rule the sky
Where there are forests that stretch beyond your imagination

I am from
Where totem poles reach beyond clouds
Where bears lumber beside streams
From where salmon make their vast journey
Across oceans and streams

I am from this place that I call
Home

Adam Sanders

Hey Everyone,

I'm just going to ask a question about Mr. Lee.( Sorry Mr G. that it's not about our class). Okay, do we have to do both sides of Problem Solving?


Thanks a million,
Marc L.

6B homework!

Mr G: make the inside cover for the book binding by decorating it with colours. ( Fold in half ( if you fold wrong, you won't get another one! I suggest you plan out what you're going to make the inside cover like, instead of just colouring it any way you feel like, and when you come up with a new idea, you cannot use it!))

Due Mon
