September 21, 2009 The Giver by: Lois Lowry 20 - 34 Prediction
Jonas was really thinking of about the 8th ceremony and he was nervous about the ceremony of 12 and is doing more volunteer hours. I think he will be trained by the giver very soon.

I visualized icy sled ride and how Jonas got thrown into the air and twisted his leg, and the war when Jonas to the water jug and gave it to the boy.

November 4, 2009.
Why do you think the author chose the snow and the sled as the first memory for the giver to transmit? Explain. I think chose snow and a sled ride as the first memory because he probably didn’t want to have Jonas scared and doesn’t want Jonas to have pain in the beginning.

B. Written Reponse/ Q: Philosopher and Statesman Francis Bacon said, "Knowledge is pain". Do you agree? Would Jonas ? Why or why not? Explain in a paragraph.
I agree because having all of the bad and painful knowledge hurts. And i think Jonas would agree because in the book the Giver gave him the memory of war and it hurt him.

November 20, 2009 Pg 163-180 Reading Response today: A. Summary: Jonas has left his community and took Gabe with him because he was going to be released the very next day, so Jonas took some food and stole his dads bike and took Gabe. So they had a long journey ahead of them and struggled as they went further and further away from the community. At the end they are really hungry and saw lights and heard music. B. Is it an optimistic ending? Does Jonas survive? Explain in a paragraph. I think its an optimistic ending because if Jonas saw lights and heard music its kind of pointing to a happy future for them. The ending sounds like its going to end happy because it colorful lights and music sounds pretty happy. I think Jonas survives because he really wanted to save Gabe and to save him he needed to reach that place that he saw. When Jonas saw the lights and heard the music I think he would keep going because I would not stop after coming so far and it was right there. The ending was an optimistic ending because of all of this and because the lights and the music.

- Prediction: Half Moon got kidnapped by Red and brought to his house. He gets invited to the kitchen and his dad is puzzled to see that the detective is a little guy. When Half Moon is done eating he has been given 24 hours to complete the investigation. I think Half Moon will h=need more time for this and will probably take him way longer then Reds dad thinks it needs.

=

While they were investigating another case they found another huge footprint and predicted that they were the same guys on different cases. During the investigation April catches them it and finds out that Half Moon is a Fletcher and working together. Q: If you were a character in your book, who would you be? Explain in a few sentences. If I was a character in my book I would be Fletcher Moon because it would be pretty cool to investigate cases and everybody is counting on you to finish the investigation.

Half Moon by Eoin Colfer, pages 151 to 167, Jan. 20, 10
-Prediction: Half Moon gets help from Reds Dad and he is so fast and gives Moon a file and reads it and has a feeling that the case was committed by the same guy they are looking for. He gets a huge lead and has a victim which is Mercedes the girl who looks innocent but behind the smile their is more. They go to get more info from Ernie who is a candy lover and said that Mercedes framed him and does not lie. I think that she is probably the victim and they will catch her.

And so they are on there way to see principle Quinn. Red and Half Moon have to get out before they reach the principle and so they are trying to find a way out. - Q: What is your favorite part of the book your reading? Why? Be descriptive in your explanation. I like the part where they are spying on the sisters and they get caught because it has action in and i like action.

Half Moon by Eoin Colfer, pages 197 to ---, Feb 3, 10
-Prediction: Half Moon and Red trying to escape because they are locked in a cellar and are trying to find a way out. When May lets them out they need to go and Herod but it is to late. When they got there they saw a police car right behind Aprils dads car. When they go and spy they are drinking lemonade with them and Mrs. Quinn. I think they are going to stop them and are going to prove that the sisters are behind it because April and the sisters don't know that Moon and Red are free from the cellar and they are going to find a way to stop them from getting Herod from getting suspended. -Q:

Describe what is happening in the image below. Why do you think the person in the image is doing what he is doing? What does this tell you about the situation that he may be in? What is your reaction to this image/How does is make you feel?

In this picture a person after the earthquake in Haiti is drinking juice dripping out of a stolen bag and is probably very thirsty because of the hot weather in Haiti and it is very dry. He is doing this because he doesn't want to die but survive and stay alive, or just because he is very thirsty and dry and wants to quench his huge thirst for juice and water. He is probably in a situation that is very bad and is hungry and thirsty and needs water to survive the earthquake. My reaction to this picture is kind of weird because I have never been in a situation like he is in and for me I don't know how he is feeling and if I was in that situation I would probably do the same thing because I would be very thirsty and I wouldn't want to die of thirst.

Half Moon by Eoin Colfer, pages 203 to 220, Feb 8, 10
-Summary: After Red and Half Moon are spying on them the girls are doing their performance to Sargent. And when Half Moon texts him the speech and so the Sargent found out it was a play and Aprils group gets caught and are in trouble.

Meanwhile Red and Half Moon get home and find out that there dad is committing a crime when the sargent is heading over to check who it is and unfortunately its Reds dad. So Half Moon and Red go to Reds dad to get him out of there and they struggle because his dad wants to continue and is startled because of their sudden appearance and is even more startled that Half Moon is there. They tell him that Sargent is coming to check it out and if we dont get out of here now he will be in jail. So finally after some struggle they got him convinced to go home with them and continue the conversation at home when they see a car coming their way they get out of there quickly.

Half Moon by Eoin Colfer, pages 220 to 236, Feb 10, 10
-Prediction: After they got home the Sharkeys had an argument Half Moon had a feeling that the case wasn't closed yet and figured that there were 2 different cases because he didn't find any patterns in his notebook. At night his body was sleeping but his brain was still awake worrying. I predict that he will go with Red and crack the other case and capture their giant, because even though they cracked the one case it doesn't get the clear and free and they wanted to be free so if they don't go out and capture the giant they will get a pair of handcuffs.

Half Moon by Eoin Colfer, pages 236 to 243, Feb 22, 10
-Summary: With help from Red's friend Dominique they get a head start on the second case and now they connected suspects and people who they think is related to them.

While they are trying Red is telling Half Moon that he is trying to live a different life and that his dad said that if you break and enter at night wait till the night clubs are closed cause you never know who is walking home but Half Moon and Red have to do it now before someone gets hurt.

-Question Response: Would you be friends with the main character? Why or why not? Support w/ evidence from your reading in a paragraph. Yes I would be friends with the main character because it would be pretty cool to work on a case with him and have fun.

Half Moon by Eoin Colfer, pages 243 to 252, Feb 24, 10
Summary: They broke in and Red has two frying pans to distract Larry and Adam the 2 guard dags there at the school.

They break in without the alarms going off and are looking at principal Quinn s big book of all the students history and now they found a link with the people and find out May Deveraux is in a talent show and is on somebody's hit list and is in danger. Now they have to get to the talent show and save her and there are a whole bunch of people and Herod walks in with fake side burns and shoots Half Moon with his hands for pretend.

Q: List three new vocabulary words from your reading. What can you tell about them from their structure (break them into chunks, look at prefixes and suffixes)? What can you tell about them from their context (meaning gathered from the sentence and paragraph around)?

Quote Response:
If you are going through hell, keep on going.

If you are in going through a lot of suffering just keep going because if you keep going it will matter in the future because you will have gone through it.

Half Moon by Eoin Colfer, pages 252 to 260, March, 3 2010
Summary:

Half Moon by Eoin Colfer, pages 260 to 272, March, 8 2010
Prediction: After Half Moon and Red went to the talent show Half Moon saw a mime and thought it was the bad guy and made a mistake. Everybody crowded them and then Red pulled him on the stage because they were on and then when everybody knew Half Moon was on the stage in disguise Half Moon solved the case and I predict that when he is done with his speech everybody will cheer and Red and the rest of the Sharkey kids are gonna go to school in peace.

Question Response: What is the author trying to tell you about life in this story? Defend this moral. This author is trying to tell us that if you know you are not right keep trying and it will come to you eventually because Half Moon didn't have the case right at first but kept trying and eventually got what he wanted and got it right.

Half Moon by Eoin Colfer, pages 272 to finish, March, 10 2010
Summary:

Artemis Fowl The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer, pages 5 to 15, March, 15 2010
Prediction: Artemis Fowl a 13 year old boy and his butler stole fairy technology and made a cube and named it C Cube because it can see everything. They are in a french restaurant when a waitress come to Artemis and asks him if he wants to see the children s menu but Artemis says no in a way that she gets scared and wants to leave the table.

Artemis Fowl The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer, pages 15 to 23, March, 17 2010
Word Attack: reconnoitering- to inspect, observe or survey the enemy's strength or position. uncharacteristically- unusual or uncommon ceramic- a product made from clay and other like materials. rendezvous- and agreement between 2 or more people enunciating- to utter or pronounce.

What is the mood of what you’re reading (happy, sad, funny, serious, etc.)? Defend your idea by giving examples from the novel. The mood of this story is serious because the book is about this cube that Artemis a 13 year old boy made from fairy technology and shows a big American it and then it turns out he escapes with it and then everyone is pointing a gun at them and that is pretty serious.

Artemis Fowl The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer, pages 23 to 33, April 12, 2010
Word Attack: incarceration- to be imprisoned. protruding- extend beyond or above a surface. Neutrino 2000- a neutral subatomic particle with a mass close to zero and a half-integral spin, rarely reacting with normal matter. retardant- not readily vulnerable to fire.

Artemis Fowl The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer, pages 33 to 42, April 14, 2010
Connection: What do I already know about the text? I know that Artemis Fowl made a cube that was made up of fairy technology and can hack anything. The "CUBE" was stolen by Mr. Spiro. After it was stolen someone hacked the city and now has no power but when he will come again they will be ready for whoever hacked and downloaded a lot of files. I think Mr. Spiro hacked the city because the "CUBE" was made for hacking huge things and very hard things to hack. And I think captain Holly Short will spot someone and will catch them. Question response: Which character do you like least? Why? In the last book I read the character liked the least was April because she acted and dressed all innocent but on the inside she was a horrible bad person who was setting people up and getting rid of people she hated and didn't like. She had a lot of people doing her work so she would look innocent but wasn't.

Artemis Fowl The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer, pages 42 to 51, April 19, 2010
Connection: "The building itself was enough to make Artemis squirm. The facade was clad in brushed aluminum, obviously designed to resemble a spaceship, and the doors were of the whoosh Star Trek variety." In these 2 sentences the connection from a building to Star Trek. Star Trek is in space like space ships and the building is designed like it and the doors are like the ships doors too. During this he was trying to go to this center because it was the only one with free units. Because he needed this stuff, his friend butler was almost dead and he needed to heal him. Question response: Who is the author? What do you know about the author? What do you imagine the author must be like? //**Explain in a paragraph.**// Eoin Colfer is the author of this book. I know that he is interested in kids and like imaginary things because in this book there is fairy's, goblins, etc. I think this author would be very playful around kids and would like kids and there imaginations and enjoys to take the things from the kids imaginations and write it on a paper. He was born Wexford on the south east coast of Ireland in 1965. His first book was published in 1998 and it is called Benny and Omar. His name is pronounced Owen His Books: [|Artemis Fowl : The Graphic Novel] [|Artemis Fowl] [|Artemis Fowl : The Arctic Indcident] [|Artemis Fowl : The Eternity Code] [|Artemis Fowl : The Opal Deception] [|Artemis Fowl : The Lost Colony]

Artemis Fowl The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer, pages 51 to 61, April 21, 2010
Infer Meaning: I think Artemis is really worried about Butler but is acting like he has a lot of confidence in how he is trying to heal him. I think this because although his friend got shot and saved Artemis's life he wants to save his butler because of their friendship and how close they are and Artemis is probably worried but isn't acting like it because he is trying to focus on what he is trying to do and how he is doing it. Butler a good friend and protector of Artemis was protecting him and saving his life by going in front of Artemis and getting shot instead. This showed how much butler cared about Artemis and how protective he was. Question Response: Compare where you live to the setting described in what you are reading. //**Explain in a paragraph.**// The book Artemis Fowl

Wall.E Essay What would you do if the world were empty and polluted? In the movie Wall.E the earth is polluted and empty. But while robots were supposed to clean up the earth the humans are in space doing nothing and have forgotten about earth and how green and nice it once was. Until a robot Eva was sent down to earth and found a living plant. The theme of Wall.E is that everyone should take care of the earth before its too late.

Pollution is bad for the environment and kills plants and living things that are living on the earth and can make us sick too. In the movie Wall.E the pollution and garbage was not only on the surface of the earth but was floating right above it too. The garbage that lies on the ground needs to be picked up and recycled. Garbage that is buried underground is polluting the ground and is spreading and killing more plants and polluting more areas and this will cause the earth to become waste.

As a result people had to leave earth to a place called Axiom. Axiom is a place in space for the people who abandoned earth and are being served by robots and which resulted in people doing nothing and then, which caused bone loss. Being there for over 700 years was not according to the plan. But unfortunately the humans all forgot about earth and forgot how nice it used to be. The people in Axiom doing nothing for the earth are not getting the earth nice and green. It’s just making it worse. Until Eve a robot went to find something living on the earth like a plant.

Eve went to earth and met Wall.E, a robot that was supposed to clean the earth while the humans left. Eve was looking for a plant and finally found it in Wall.E’s hands while he was showing it to her. While Eve is shut down because she found the plant and a huge ship is about to pick her up Wall.E is always beside her and trying to bring her back. The plant was supposed to bring the humans back and finally a robot found one and the humans were finally coming home soon.

Everyone should take care of the earth before it is too late. Pollution was all over the earth in the movie Wall.E and the humans were in space on Axiom where they stayed while the earth was being cleaned up. But unfortunately the humans forgot about earth and stayed in Axiom for over 700 years. The plant was found by Eva the robot and brought the humans back. We should put the garbage in the garbage can and pick up garbage that is lying on the ground and soon the earth will look greener and lively.

The video about the world and how it is changing is giving us a message. I think it is trying to tell us that the world is changing every day and becoming more advanced. More and more new technologies are built every year. The world will soon become over populated and then it will become crowded. The message is telling us that the world is changing fast and will soon over power the human brain with all the super technology. In 2013 there will be a super computer that will over power the human brain. The world is changing without us even knowing it.
 * After viewing the following video clip, respond in a paragraph. What is the message that the person who put this together trying to tell us? Give specific examples from the clip.**

Freak the MIGHTY by Rodman Philbrick, May 3, 2010
I predict that Max a person that is growing faster than his brain until he meets Freak a boy with a big brain and a small body. Together they are a good team and are unstoppable.

Wiki Q response- May 3 -What is a hero? A hero is someone who accomplished something very great for his country or for something else. -How do writers/authors portray heroes in literature? Authors portray heroes in literature like if a hero in the story saved someone or died for someone else or did something great for someone or something. -Give examples of a hero in literature? Some examples are like Harry Potter in Harry Potter, Freak, and Superman in the comics. -Does Max seem like a typical hero? Explain why or why not? No

=== May 5, 2010 Freak the Mighty - Summary: Max and Freak are becoming friends and when Max went to bring back Freak to his home Freaks mom got scared but makes it up to Max by inviting him over to dinner and Max and Freak have a good time. The next day Max and Freak go to see some fire crackers and Freak is giving a some lip with out him knowing that Max can't take him. During the fireworks Freak is on the ground not seeing anything until Max just lifts him up and then sees everything and while the fire works are going off Freak is naming all of them. -Question Response: How has Max's view of Kevin changed since the beginning of the novel? Explain in a paragraph. Max's view of Kevin has changed a lot because in the beginning Max was scared and now they are friends. In the beginning Max didn't know anything about there family and now he knows that Kevins mom was Max's moms friend. ===

May 19, 2010 Freak The Mighty- Prediction: At school the principle has requested him to go to her office and when he gets there they tell him that his father got out of prison and might be coming for him. I think that his dad will take him and try to get to know him and lie and then he'll get arrested.

May 28, 2010 Freak the Mighty- Summary: Max got kidnapped by his dad and he is trying to get to know him and create a trust bond between the 2 of them. Kenny Kane is liying to Max by telling him that he didn't kill his mom. At night he ties Max up because he doesn't quite trust Max. At the end Kenny has to escape with Max because of cops might snoop around and so he ties Max up again and gos somewhere, meanwhile Loretta wife is trying to cut Max free until Kenny is choking her so hard and then Max told his dad that he knows that Kenny killed his mom. Freak is finally there and squirts Kenny in the eyes with his water gun and Max and Freak escape and Kenny chases them out trying to catch them and when they get out of the cellar there are lots of cops and Kenny gets arrested.

Question: Does Max pass the test alone? Is he independent or is it "Freak the Mighty" who passes the test? Use evidence to support your paragraph. I think its Freak the Mighty who passes the test because without freak and his brain he couldn't have passed the test because although Max is big he needs an extra person on the side like an extra brain like Freaks. When Max's dad was choking Loretta Freak was there to squirt him in the eye and Max was there with the legs for escaping and arresting Kenny for killing Max's mom.
