Week 6 Vocab Words

What Is Reading

1) Reading is a physical, mental, and mechanical process.
2) Eyes fixationize 90-95% of the time you are reading.
3) Sweep is the way eyes change from line to line.
4) Regression is when looking back at something you have already read.
5) Must identify works before comprehending them.

The ideal group model is the one that stay on task and help each other understand things. If I was a teacher wht would make me say "yeepee" wou;d be watching my students working together and not neccessary in groups but as one whole group. In my opinion my group worked well. We did not communicate as much but we answered any questions we had. We also commented on our opinions a litte. I think that if we would have dicussed things a little better my group would have been better. Overal it was really good.

Final Check-In Letter

My experience in Ms. Priester’s class was overall really good. She was able to teach me in ways I could easily understand things. All the taking notes have been totally helpful throughout the whole year. One big impact to me was preparing for the CASHEE. Ms. Priester did everything possible to have every single one of her students to pass. Being in the system distracted me from my learning in school. I was going through so much that I didn’t care about passing my classes. I used to think that a C or D in class was not that bad. When I came to SPA I realized the importance about grades. Since freshman year to sophomore year I have improved my grades so much. I cried when I got a D on my progress report this quarter. Then I realized Mr. Walker messed it up. Anyways, school has become one of the most important things for me. Being one or the only girl in my house off 2-hour makes me really proud. I have learned a lot of things being in Ms. Priester’s class. I have learned more about technology, better writing skills, and so much more. More about technology is one of the things I have learned. Ms. Priester made us do many projects in the laptops and made work fun and easier to turn in. Google Docs. is one of the many things Ms. Priester thought to us. Many students complained that they lost their work in the computer when in shut down, or they lost their hard drive, well Google Docs. saves our work if the computer shuts down. This class has thought me manners. Manners are important everywhere is this world. Ms. Priester pushes her students to the best that they can be and honestly she pushed me so much to be at the level I am now. Confidence, Ms. Priester has thought me confidence in myself to do my work and get grades about C’s. Going into my junior year, I have set goal for myself. I want to make sure I turn every single assignment in and do all my work in class. I want to try to stay at a least of a 3.5gpa. I would also like to keep this goal for my senior year and hopefully finding a college where I would like to study and keeping my same goal. Can’t wait for summer.

APA Format Prezi by Matt Van Someren

APA FORMAT on Prezi

APA Format Teacher-less Lesson

APA format is one f many styles of attribution. This has two major parts which are the in-text citation and the reference page. Citing a source means that when you got the information of some website or a type of source you in parenthesis put the source name you found that in. The writer needs to cite their surces when found over any reference page. When the wrieter is citing a direct quote from the reference page they have used quotations marks around the whole thing they are dirrectly coping. A reference page is where you put all the references you have used and you put it at the back of your essay. Using APA format in my research paper will help me keep my paper organize.

KNOTT'S BERRY FARM!!!

Today was such a fun day. Our school gave a free day of school to all students who maintained a 2.7 GPA over the last 3 quarters. Many of my friend were able to go. It was so much fun, even though I didn't get in many rides. I had a great time with my friends. We had to stay in groups, at least 2 people together and I would like to thank Sam, Marquise, Jessica, Joseph, Marry, and Becky, for hanging out with me. Later on after lunch we found Mr.Walker, Ms.Priester, Ms.Emily, and Mr.Eric. It was so much fun spending time with our teachers out of school. Honestly, they are so much cooler out of school. Anyways, it was my first time going to Knott's so I really appreciate my friends understand my fear to most roller costers. HAHAH! It was really cool. Well, that's all folks. Thank you for reading!

I am really exited to get the new loptops. It will be so easy when we are doing projects in school. I am so happy to have saved some newborn baby, either squires or gophers, from Robert Keil and Jose from boys 5. They found this tiny little baby and they were trying to microwave them for no reason but to be mean. Lebari and I went to get the rest as we saw, what we think is the mother, get eaten by a hawk. It was sad! We got the babies and I was up every 2 hours after 10 to feed this little cuties something. I was giving them milk and today we found a little more about them and we gave them some water. I'm really going to miss them. We were thinking about giving them to Ms. Davis to give to the animal rescue but then we thought about keeping it. Now, we have decided to just let them go to a place that they can be safe. Well, things are ok so far and they are still alive. Hopefully one day I could see them again when they are big. HAHA!! CUTE!!!

YEY ME FOR SAVING AND CARING FOR SOME TINY LITTLE CUTE CREATURES!!! 100% FOR CANDY AND LEBARI, EVEN THOUGH I SHOULD GET THE WHOLE CREDIT BECAUSE I WAS THE ONE UP ALL NIGHT!!! OH, HAHA, I FORGOT, THEY SLEPT ON MY BED LAST NIGHT, THEY WERE SO CUTE....AWWWW I AM PROUD!!!

Extra Credit Blog Value Blog Post

Using blogs in schools is a good way to be able to share students projects to people. Is a way to keep track of things and as my teacher Ms. Priester does, puts our homework on her blog and we are able to know our assingment if we weren't in class. Though, a downfall would be like keeping predators away. The internet is a web page and you can be found by anyone looking for you. In our campus, we have to keep our identity hidden because of oour situation. Other than that, we get to have lots of fun, and also see what other classmates have done. A good way to get ideas about how to do a certain project, share a little about ourselves and since many teens, now in days, like technology, this is a nice easy way to keep school and technology working together.

Prom & BBQ Blog Post

Prom this year was at a really nice hotel. I had lots of fun but at the same time last year was so much better. Overall, though, things were good the food was good, but the drinks tasted a little weird. I sat with some friends and i enjoyed my time. The BBQ on friday was really fun. All the activities were very entertaining. It was very fun to have a day off from school and have fun a compete against other classes. We should do that more often.

Blabber...Vietnam War

Earthquake

In April 4, 2010, I experience an earthquake of 7.2 magnitude. I was in my room when all this happened. I was getting up to go see my boyfriend who was at the living room and as I was getting up I felt my whole house moving. I ran out to my living room because at first I thought I was literally not feeling good. Finally, we all went outside waiting for like 10 minutes until it was safe to go back in. My whole house was scared and in some points it was funny to see everyone scream there heads off. It was a new experience for me especially since every time there is an earthquake I am sleeping and I never feel them. It was quite an experience.

If I were a fruit, I would be either a strawberry, a mango, or an apple. These three are my favorite fruits and I think they smell so good. Strawberries ae my number one choice because they are sweet and you can do many things with them. Mango's are also really good and you can make them in many different ways. Last but not least, apples. They are always in season and many people like to carry them around as a snack. YUM_YUM!!

To Kill A Moking Bird

Having To Learn

You never really understand a person
Until you consider things from his point of view...
Until you climb into his skin and walk around it.
I want you to see what real courage is,
Instead of getting the idea
That courage is a man with a gun in his hand.
Try fighting with your head for a change...
It’s a good one,

Even if it does resist learning.
Simply because we were licked
A hundred years before we started
Is no reason for us not to try to win.
Don't you contradict me!

My favorite cartoon character is Sponge Bob. I like him because he is really funny and he is really energetic and always doing silly things. I have always watched his shows since I was a little girl, and every now and then I sit down and watch it on my own or with my boyfriend who loves cartoons too. I love the cartoon Sponge Bob.

My Vacation/Awold

I know many people are confused on why I left SPA. There is a lot to it, but too long to write. I guess that one of the main reasons why I left was because I was tired of being ignored and treated like an animal. Not by everyone that’s for sure. Beth had allowed me go have little dates with Lebari, which made things fun. But, coming home was what I hated. Having to deal with the disrespect in the house towards staff and students only made me sick. During a week period, I had been treated like an animal by girls in my house. I felt like when I told someone, they just didn’t listen or didn’t care. I got stressed out, mad, anxious to hurt them, but I knew that wasn’t a good way to deal with things. After I got in a big argument, sort of a fight, I was being blamed for everything that happened. When I was only defending myself after being pushed, the staff chooses to say that I was instigating the whole fight. Supervisors didn’t let me say what had happen but when the manager came by I said everything and still made no change to me. I was crying and irritated, went back in and got sweaters and left. I walk for about an hour and a half and asked for help. I went all the way to Downtown and stayed in places for the night. During the day time, we walked and walked and then stopped to rest. The day we chose to come back, it was a hard decision for me. I knew that coming back was just going to heat things up for me a little more. But I realized that Lebari wanted me to be safe and in a little better condition than I was out there. He called and asked for us to get picked up and so we did. It wasn’t too bad being back home, the consequences were fair and having a house change for e really made a difference. Now I’m back, we are back, and I am happy to be back with people that care for me. Being back in school, ha-ha, it really makes me happy. Now getting caught up in my work is another story. I am a little disappointed because of things staff had said about me and the way I been treated by the staff, but I am trying to ignore it and not let it affect me. I know that even when I get older I will find myself in similar situations. Overall I am glad to be back home.

If my friend told me she was in an abusive relationship, I would tell her to tell an adult. If she decided not to tell anyone because she is scared I would tell an adult for her to make sure she is safe.

This weekend has been really hard for me. There is so much drama in my house that I just hate it now. I don't know really why but I don't feel like I am part of the house anymore. My house parent left about 2 month's ago and everyone has changed. Most of the girl's are disrespecful towards everyone. I don't understand what's trully going on but i don't se the point in talking behind peoples backs and then when the person is there they act like nothing happen. It hurts me to see girls in the house...my house acting like 3 year olds. They are all older 16, 17, only 1 freshman. I do my work and i try to be good and stay out of trouble and I feel like no one cares.

When I was a child my favorite song was “Rebelde.” The artist of this song was a pop Mexican group called RBD. They were 6 of them, 3 boys and 3 girls. They group started out in a college in Mexico. They were just like foster kids but they were in a college and they lived there. Some were rich and some were lower class. Two of the girls hated each other, one was rich and girly and the other one was more like whatever or a little gangster. After a while they started a group all together and became really popular in all around the world. They also eventually made an English CD. I always been in love with this group but not they have separated and now they are on T.V acting.

Rhyme Zone

I never knew that I could ever love you. You were my best friend and nothing else. Now, looking back I remember feeling lust for us. Sometimes I felt like I had something more than just lust in my heart. I really didn’t plan for you and me to ever start to date. But things did what they were meant. Every day I get to know, something more about you. Now things seem to be better than before and every day things seem to get even better. Now that I have you I don’t plan to loose you. You became more than my best friend, now you are also my love one and my soul.

My Love For You
© Matthew Dusfim

The Bit by bit and day by day
In such a special lovely way
Do not know why or how to say
But I shall try to... If I may

And thus I shall try to explain
That despite heavy pouring rain
In times of sorrow and of pain
My love for you was not in vain

When I was down and even sad
If I felt angry rather mad
If I was in tears feeling bad
My love for you I did not dread

I was insulted even mocked
My same own life I feel was blocked
The doubts that came and often knocked
My love for you was safely locked

Until the day you came to me
The love in me you did not see
Without you dear how could I be?
My love for you I could not free

And yet you know I still love you
A love that’s strong and oh so true
Wher’ver you go wher’ver to
My love for you will follow too

Today I am not feeling good. Last night I was running a fever and I was really sick. After we went home we didn’t get to go out until 7:30pm. I was sleeping all day and I didn’t even eat dinner. Finally, at 7:30pm Lebari called me to let me know we were going to be able to see each other. Later, we saw each other for a little because I was thundering and lightning so we had to go home. I was really sad and then I went to my room and he called me and we talked all night. We went to sleep at 10pm because I was still not feeling to good. Finally, this morning I was better and running a low fever but I was able to come to school. I am a little irritated with my house and with a person in my group too. I just think that she has decided to not care about school just because of her new boyfriend. I think it’s ridiculous!

“Figurative Language Games.”

The best figurative language game I played tonight is "Fling the Teacher", because it shows good examples of words and phrases to do with what we are learning. In order to play this game, I had to try to answer 15 questions correctly and if i fail to answer one i started all over. My final score on this game was 15/15 correctly. If you want to play this game, go to this link http://www.newton.k12.ks.us/tech/fling3.html

Another enjoyable figurative language game is "Drag and Drop Metaphors", because i had to put sentences together for it to be a metaphor. In order to play this game, I had to put sentences together in like 60 seconds. My final score on this game was 100%. If you want to play this game, go to this link http://www.kidsonthenet.org.uk/dragonsville/metaphor1.htm

My least favorite figurative language game is "Paint by Idiom", because it was more for little kids and it takes too long. In order to play this game, I had to identify the idiom by its literal meaning. My final score on this game was 8 correct and 3 wrong.

My Winter Vacation

My winter vacation was mainly spending time with my boyfriend. During the first week of vacation my boyfriend and I went to the movies together and we also went out to eat to panda express. We got a chance to get off campus and do some fun things together. During the 2cd half of my vacation, my boyfriend and I hung out on campus and watched lots of movies over at my house. Things went really good, we got a chance t speak about our thoughts and feelings to be able to understand each other better. Overall, my vacation was mostly about hanging out with my boyfriend and learning a little more about each other.
