NJ ASK!!

The NJ Ask Is just big terms in saying a final test on everything you learned. The NJ ASK wasn't difficult although some things on there we never learned. It wasn't all that difficult but somethings were easier than others. The essays that we had to write were extremely easy but the passages that we have to read and answer questions is a challenge. For some reason i was never really good at reading a passage and answering questions that went along with it.IT was difficult for me. Everything else was easy. Last year i didn't get a high score but this year i improved a lot.

BITHDAYY SUPRISE !!

          " Mike wake up ! We have to figure out what were doing today. " Jesse shouted.
          " I have an idea of what we can do... We can get a birthday present for Gabriella's sweet 16 birthday. " Mike replied enthusiastically.
          " Good idea we should go ask dad now." She jumped up and said.
          They both sprinted up the long tiring steps and rushed to there dad's work room.
          " Dad can you bring us to the mall to buy Gabriella a birthday presents please please please." Mike and Jesse bugged their dad.
          " Sure go in the car and I'll be there in a second. " He answered.

          " Excuse me you don't have enough money you are $20 short. " The cashier said.
It must've been their lucky day on the floor in the middle of the empty store layed a $20 bill.
          " We have the money." Jesse said.

Quote Response!

When you fall downn you gett back up right away no matter what it take; the pain, the strength, anything. "Fall seven times, stand up eight." A Japanese Proverb once said. Whatever it takes you should always try better than you tried the first time. If you fall Riding a bike and you fall down, you shouldn't just give up there you should get back on that bike and try again.

When i was a little girll i used to always give up on myself. When i was learning how to ride i bike; whenn i fell i would not get backk on but i pushed myself to try again and give it another try. i can relate a song to this because theres a song where this girl falls down when she gets knocked down and she gets back up.

The United states have been through big problems and they have fallen, and they got back up and fought back. The US had made it throught the toughtest of the times and have made it out most of the time. When 9.11 happened even though we were all upset the US was inspired to become a better nation; we're more secure we have more security now in airport and we have gotten stronger. When we were in a mess in time we have to get up and try harder.

When your inn a bad situation, you shouldnt just let it go you have to get upp and trry to make that situation better. You have to learn from your mistakes. When you fall down you should be inspired to only try better when you try againn. Everyone needs inspiration and by making mistakes its only inspiring you to try harder than you tried the first time.

Should boobie bracelets be band from schools?

     Millions of people throughout the world have died and suffered from cancer. People raise money fir cancer research and some people sell things for the cause, such as the I LOVE BOOBIE ® bracelets. More than half of the kids in th US have worn breast cancer bracelets to show that they're helping but some kids think its a distraction.Kids think it supports a good cause. If schholls allow them they should be flipped inside out.
       Kids think thatt the i love boobie bracelets are a distractions because of the words on themm. I agree. Kids throughout the us are  just wearing themm for the fun of it and what it says. THe kids are taking it in the wrong way and its not something kids should be walking around and talking about.
      Kids think that the bracelets are supposed to support cancer research but there no tthe inventor just wanted to get the moneyy fromm the bracelts. Kids in schools think that they're supposed to support the cause and some people actually got them to support the cause but there not going to support it because thats not where the money goes.
      IF students in school are able to wear the bracelets they should be flipped inside out so thatt kids won't get distracted. The words on the front may be affesive in some kids ways so they should be flipped inside out.

Around the world kidss are supporting the breast cancer foundations. But the bracelets "i love boobie" aren't helping anything get supported. Kids are wearing them for the fun and they don't realize that they are just keeping the money for themselves. If you support something, Support it with a positive attitude.

School uniforms a bad ideA!!

" When we lose the right to be diferent, we lose the right ot be free. "  (Charles Evan Hughes, Supreme Court Justice.) Most teens want to wear the "coolest" clotHhes, and shoes. Clothing is a big part of part for a teens search for identity. The Board Of Educucation is Making all students in the U.S wear uniforms. In a school, you should be able to express your opinions and dress how you want to dress. Kids want to be able to dress in designer clothes. Kids want to be able to to express themselves and think outside the box. Last, Parents might not be able to afford the uniforms.

Kids wouldn't be able to dress in the "cool" designer clothes. You can't  wear designer clothes and name brand clothes if you have a specific uniform that you have to wear. If you like to designer clothes you wouldn't be able to wear clothes like UGGs, Nikes, Hollister you would have to wear a uniform. Kids like clothes that are in-style , popular, and sometimes expensive. One thing is that some kids that don't have that much money might feel self consience against themselves. Having a uniform eliminates your choice of clothes. Kids like to wear expensive things and i don't think it's fair for them to not have the right and choice of wearing a uniform.

Most students like to express themselves and their style. If they wear uniforms everyone would blend in. In school we were taught to be individuals and to stand out. If we dress how we want to dress we can learn other peoples taste in style and their cultural backround by how they dress. Some people might say everyone should be dressed in uniform to look professional and so kids don't get distracted. If everyone dresses appropriately then we should be able to wear normal everyday clothes. Students should be able to wear what they want so they can express themselves.

The economy isn't the best right now and some parents may not be able to afford much things like uniforms for their child. If everyone has a uniform some of the students parents may not be able to buy the uniforms and clothes for outside of school. Parents might not afford to buy both uniforms and clothes. a lot of parents have gotten laid off and to have uniforms is hard because they might not have the money to buy it. People might say they're not expensive but when you think about it it is expensive to buy uniforms and outside clothes. The expense of a uniform is hard to afford. The economy isn't so great and parents might not have a lot of money.

In all schools students should be able to express their opinion and show off their style. Dressing in designer clothes, Expressing your style, opinion, and economic problems is hard on the parents and they wouldn't be easy for people. It is unconstitutional to take away the students right and freedom of speech.

reflecting thinkin points

I like my piece becaussee it has everythinng that's its supposed to have in it. the commerciall has three claimmms. Alsooo its has a slogann and a logoo. Lastly it is hass  a Celebrity appeal. i feel i amm good at persuading the audience. i thinkk my teams commerciall is goinng to persuade little kids to gett a pillow pet. Another thing that i feel i'm good at is memoriziingg.  I feel thatt i did a good jobb memorizinng what i had to memorize for the commercial. One more thing thatt i feel i'm good at is fitting the part. i dressed appropriatly to fit the part if a kidd that getting a friend to buyy a pillow pet. some area were i can improve  are looking at the camera more instead of facin away from it. I could alsoo talk a little louder and clearer. Persuasive writing techniques i could try  next time are having more claims and more things on why to buy this product. another one is that we could've dressed the part of a famous person to look like theyy really have a pillow pet. The part of the process i most enjoyed was creating th commercial and presenting it. i like it because all the other groups gett to see how you interpret the idea of the commercial. The goals i have for next time are to have its practiced more so i could gett it perfect. the three things i learned about mysellf throughout the process are thattt i am capable of doinng things. i cann do anything i want if i tryy. Also i learned thatt i have the ability to create a commercial. Last, I lerned that making a commerciall is not an easy taskk it is difficult but sometimes you have to make it.

Buy my commercial

Fox 5.. i really thinkk you should by my commercial. My commerciall has every elementt that a commerciall should have it has three claims, a logo , a slogann everythinnggg thatt cann be inn a commercial. Alsoo i have kids in the commercial because in my opinion its more towarsds kinds  even though it is for all ages.My commerciall is like realityy it cann happen likee people could gossip aboutt people and kids textt a lot so i decided thatt to happen in my commercial. i really hop you take my commercial.

Butterfinger Snackerz Commercial: Southern Comfort Be Danged, A Lady Has...

On tv there are many commercial's that i like but this one is my new favorite commercial. I think it is funny how they are having a conversation about the butterfingers. After one of the girls want one of the butterfingers and she tries to get one and she gets shocked. this post also goes along with our reading lessons. The symbol is the butterfingers. Also it is kind of like rainbow fish but rainbow fish shared and she is selfish and she doesn't share her butterfingers.

Pepsi MAX® - LOVE HURTS - Crash The Super Bowl 2011 Winner

This commercial is funny in different ways. They have the lady doing things to the man and then he always assumes whenever anything happens she did it. so when he drank the pepsi and looked over the wife had pepsi and he thinks that she takes the Pepsi but she doesn't. One thing i liked was the humerous parts like when she puts a bar of soap in his mouth and when she hits the girl in the head with the pepsi. One thing i didn't really like was the mean things even though they were things i laughed at. I don't think that it set a good example for little kids. liitle kids can do things to older siblings and they might winde up hurting someone.

Career unittt!!!!!!!!

This career was a lot to learn. We had something new to learn almost everyday. The online surveys, the essays it was a lot of work and we had to put effort into it it wasn't just easy little things they were hard big things. All of the work we did payed off. When we get older like when were in college we will be prepared for things we have to write like essays how to get into college. The college essay, the resume, and everything else. Some thing i learned was that when i get older i'm going to have to take some responsibility and make some choices. I will have to pick the college i will go to, what i will major in and what i'm going to work as. This career unit taught me a lot and everyone else to but i like how we learned about career unit young to see what college students had to do, all the work they went through, someday we will be the college students like this whole unit.

MY ROLE MODEL.........!!

Deana You can do this try your best and you will score!! The same voice at another game Deana Shoot!! Then again Your better than the other team your faster and more skilled. Many things coming from the same person. This one person's voice motivates me throughout my soccer games.My friends dad Fred. Every game I go to and he's there he gets me to try my best better than i ever played every game he's there i improve.

Next Game he's there I play better than i have ever played in my life. I tryed my hardest. I might not be the best on the team but what matters is tht i try my best no matter what. I try my hardest and i don't give up. I have the ability to do things that other kids on my team can't do  i try my hardest some kids don't give effort by i always try my best even when i'm tired and i can't do anything about it. Every day i don't see him but i think back while i'm in school not only in soccer but in school while i'm under preasure i think of what he taught me, to try my best and don't give up and most of all there is no such thing as can't.

I think i'm really lucky to have my friends dad to look up to. I think its amazing that i have my friends dad because most of the people i know mostly all my friends have a role model that is a family member such as a mom, dad, sister, brother, cousin, grandma, grandpa or any other family member. He was the best thing, he changed my life he always has me doing things harder than i can do so that i can improve. He is my role model that i will always look up to.

Does technology change the way people learn??

I certainly think the use of technology affects the way kids learn in the enviroment and classroom. A lot of kids deppend on technology to learn. Even i use technology instead of finding a book in the library. I feel that kids don't focus as much as like are parents use to in school when they didn't have technology to base their life on. For us technology is like an everyday thing that we use almost everyday. Like for example computers we use to type up essays while when our parents wre younger they had to hand write everything they didn't have technology to base their life on. When in school we have a lesson how often do you think kids actually honestly pay attention while its going on. I think not that often i think in my opinion that i learn better when there is tecnology involved. most classes in our day of age have technology to teach us like for example in english we have the smart board, computers, and elmo to project and use to reseach and have fun while learning. In social studies we have the projector and sometimes we go to the library and do research on the computers. Mostly every class has technology involved with it. i think kids in my opinion don't focus as much as when our parents were in school. Technology changed habits of learning and how to learn. Technology made a big difference in our lives.

WELCOME Mrs. Carroll

Hi my name is Deana I will be one of your students until May. Last year i wnt to Washington Elementary school. Now this year I'm i hoover NOT Thomas Jefferson. In middle school my favorite things are the cool lockers, The class switching, andhaving different teachers for each subject. English and math are my favorite classes even though i'm not the best at them. ENglish is not the easiest subject in school. It is a challenge at the quizes. The quizes aren't the easist its not extremely easy to get a perfect score on them. In english class i am bad at the vocabulary and grammar. I think it is really hard and vocabulary is hard to remember. I am good at reading outloud but not taking quizes about what you just read becuse i don't ever rememember what i read.

Our class is fun to be with. We are a very energetic and we have a lot of humor. Are class is very fun to be around. Are class of students are very talkative including me. We all have are times when we talk a lot but for me its every day unless something is really bothering me. Mrs. Patalano is very sarcastic and talks to us and tell us about her belongings at home.(her head massager story was pretty interesting.)

WHeN i GrOw uP i WaNt To Be....

As a little girl and still i have always dreamed to be the same thing. I always bugged my parents to take me to lessons and they always said.. Maybe. That thing i wanted to be all my life was to be an actress but its not a real realistic goal. My parent said that if my dream ever came true i would be really good at it because they think i'm a really dramatic person. There is one problem about my goal... I get nervous easily when i'm in front of a large group of people. I always try to overcome my fear but someday i actually get that to happen. THe college i want to go to is Julliard. THey have a good performing arts program and is a really good school for acting. THis is my goal of ehat i want to be when i gtow up.
