__My Own Haiku-__ May 8th, 2009
Why memorize this? Haikus are really vapid, Tedious haikus...

=Evaluating Haikus Using Word Choice- May 8th, 2009=

Plants are peeking out, just to see what's happening. They are all green now.
 * __Lisa's Haiku- 5__**


 * Evidence:** C. Language and phrasing are natural, effective, and appropriate for the audience.
 * Example:** Plants are peeking out,

__**Caroline's Haiku- 5**__ Leaves falling softly, Having the scent of nature. Spring already came!


 * Evidence:** F. Precision is obvious. The writer has taken care to put just the right word or phrase in just the right spot.
 * Example:** Leaves falling softly,

=__Haikus- May 7th, 2009__=  The season spring came, Korea visited spring. People love this time.
 * __Spring has Came__**

Korea welcomed Spring forever to enjoy. Spring opened its face.
 * __Korea's Spring__**

=**__My Side of the Mountain__-** =


 * Questions:

1)** The main chracter used his creativeness and inventiveness for everything. When he was finding food to survive, he thought of a river that had fish with other seafoods. His creativity resulted with some mussels and clams. However, he used some knowledge from books he read to survive in the forest. For example, he remembered that Hemlocks usually grow around mountain streams and springs. That helped him find a spring with crayfish. I also thought that the little "tree-house" was a creative shelter to live in.


 * 2)** For me, I would say "No". Maybe it might be a great adventure to see how such a person can even live in a forest, but I would still say no. I would rather want to play games and eat in delicious restaurants instead of trying to survive and eating weird plants. Instead of trying that hard to make a little fire, why not just turn on the stove with a switch? In conclusion, I wouldn't try to survive in a wild forest living in a tree, unless someone forced me to.

 **5 Vocabularies:**  Sentence: We ate mussels and shrimps at the seafood restaurant. Sentence: The sunlight was dappled on the grassland because of the tree branches over it. Sentence: We traveled through ravines and hiked mountains, which gave us an incredible view of nature. __**Coltish**__- lively, playful Sentence: My coltish children always run around the playground everyday. Sentence: That yelow warbler just flew across the blue sky.
 * 3)** Even though there were some pictures beside the story, I mostly imagined what was happening in my head. That was occuring a lot because the author used some descriptive adjectives and verbs about the boy. I could even figure out what he was feeling like when he was finding for food. The author described the nature around the boy very well by being specific about the knids of animals. **In conclusion, the author did a great job of shaping the words into a picture.**
 * __Mussel__**- any marine bivalve mullusks
 * __Dappled__**- a spot or mottled marking
 * __Ravine__**- a narrow steep-sided valley commonly eroded by running water
 * __Warbler__**- any small, colorful bird

=HW due April 29th: = =**James Mercer Langston Hughes- **=

Langsten Hughes was an African-American and was born in 1902, died in 1967. Even going through his hard and painful childhood (faught with his father, dropped out of high school, etc.), he had a determined hope to become a writer. Then he went to Columbia University, learning more about poetry. Then he started with odd jobs in different countries, and then became a poet. He wrote some book of poetries about African-American slaves getting free, such as the book //Not Without Laughter.// After he wrote a lot of great poets and stories, he died at the age 65 because of prostate cancer. I think that he was a leader for the slaves' hopes thise times.

=Earth Day and Synonym Poems- April 24th =

__**Earth, the Taker and the Giver**__ Earth, the taker, takes everything Earth, the giver, gives everything. But if you think really about it, Earth did nothing bad a bit. We take Earth's sources With all our forces. People take their needs, Earth gives hopes even to kids So we shouldn't destroy our home.

__**Pain**__ PAIN Paroxysm, anger, misery, fright And you cry in the night.

HW due April 24th, 2009

====**Paragraph:** People might wonder 'What is Earth Day?' or 'What in the world is Earth Day supposed to mean?'. We have learned in science class to conserve water, such as showering shorter and other little things. However, That is one part of Earth Day's reason- to make Earth a cleaner and fresher place to live. It is a day to appreciate our environment, or nature. For about 40 years, Earth Day has continued, to appreciate and thank Earth for evironment. In conclusion, I think that we should all respect and clean our only home- Earth.====

 * Topic: 6. Your class grew plants as a science project. One day you looked at your plant and saw something really strange had grown there.

"Never!" I cried, looking at my plant for my science project, __The Speed of Plants Growing__. My friends' plants were growing well, some were dead, but overall, they were all normal. Not mine. My cactus was growing very fast, but had one problem. The cactus had a little arms! Eeeeeeewwwwww! I'll tell you the whole story about this bizarre event.**


 * One day, when I was getting ready for my science project experiment, I had 4 cacti. My project was about the speed of plants growing if there is fresh water and if the water is dirty (poisoned). So I had 2 cacti for feeding fresh water and 2 cacti for dirty water. So I fed them everyday with the different kinds of water. The 2 fresh-watered cacti grew well, but the 2 'poisoned' cacti were getting strange and stranger. I'll ask you a question, What would you do if there were arms growing out of cacti?. Normally people would say that they would be really shocked. So one cactus had arms growing from it, and the other one had a little mouth. Yeah, a really loud one. Since that's what I saw growing on the cacti, you agree that I got very shocked, right? But how could arms and a mouth grow on a //cactus?// Hmmmm... Oh yeah, I spilled some of my blood in the poisoned water because my finger was poked by the cactus's needle! Would that water, then, have some human characteristics that went inside the cactus's stem? I don't know... However, what do I put on my science project if there are human parts on them? I can't just say that one had arms and the other one had a mouth! What does human arms have to do with the speed of plants growing? Thinking that this was getting exciting, I got to the conclusion that I should keep up with my work. So for another few days, I kept watering them with the specific kinds of water. Now, I had to stop this whole project. The 2 cacti were doing fine, but the other 2 poisoned ones weren't doing so great. Actually, they were horrible, even to look at. The "mouthy" one had my voice (!) and the other arm-growing one had arms as big as my little sister's! That's only the beginning. When I try to water the mouth one, he was yelling things like, "What you lookin' at!" or "Get out of here! You fat fool!". Of course, the arm one was choking me with his hands. I couldn't take it anymore.

Unfortunately, I had to kill them and start on a new cactus. When I was about to get rid of them, I decided to trash the talkative one first since he had my voice (freaky!) and was talking non-sense. I got rid of him quite easily, by pulling out the body and trashing the dirt in the cup. Then, I cut off his mouth (he swore, but I couldn't hear) and threw him away in the garbage can next door. For the "arm" cactus, I tried to cut off his arms but he grabbed my scissor. Oh no, he's going to cut ME! His arm muscles are twice as thick than yesterday! I was patient, and tried to get the scissor back, but... I couldn't see anything... all black... it felt like I was invisible air... then I knew that I died... bye everyone...**

=March 19th Writing Workout- VOICE Writing=

3. Coke
= = 1. Chicken- Who hates roasted chickens with spicy sauce brushed on it? Maybe not vegetarians but if you are a normal guy that likes everything, you sould have saliva coming out from your mouth soon. If the chickens are dried and it's cold, it's better to throw them away since it will taste like yucky cheese (!_!). After you buy a grilled chicken with sweet chilly sauce soaked in it, you should eat it as soon as possible when it's hot. If you miss the timing, you'll begin to hate chickens and miss the heaven taste.

2. Chips- My first meeting with chips were when I was 6. My dad gave me a piece of a potato chip and I ate it. From then, I tasted the taste of heaven's food. Now chips are considered as junk food, but I still think that we need chips for surviving. If you like the greasy ones, it's your choice! I prefer the spicy ones like 'Swing Chip''s flavors because you can feel the love of chips. In conclusion... Chips Rock!!!

3. Coke- You learned in science that people need water to survive on Earth. Well, you have a choice of drinking pure water, or a delicious drink like Coke and Cider. Even though I admit that I'm chubby, I personally think that Coke is required for drinking. You should drink it when it's freezing since it tastes yucky when it's warm. I have researched and realized that even thin people love diet coke and coke. Finally, Coca Cola~ is delicious like the drink for heaven angels. Masterpiece.

**2 Paragraphs:**
Ask yourself 'What could a curious grandfather do in a doctor's office?'. It's a silly question, but actually, there are curious granpas in doctor's offices. So this is what I think will happen. If a curious grandfather somehow got sick and went to the doctor's office, the doctor will welcome him. The problem is, the doctor doesn't know what will happen after he lets in this curious granfather. Not to be rude, but you know how grandfathers yell suddenly when they're mad? Well, I think the grandfather will wonder how this hospital was build before he even goes in with his broken legs. Now the adventure begins with the grandfather in the doctor's office.

So the grandfather has broken legs and he needs to see the doctor, but he couldn't go to the office fast since he was wondering about things too much. After he reaches the doctor's office, the first thing he says to the doctor is "Did you drink coffee today morning? Why do you have long hair? Oh, is it the fassion these days? Oooh, your office is so clean! How many pencils do you have? I know I'm just suddenly asking too much questions, but I was only curious!". Then the doctor would say "Get out of here right now before I kick your shin!" __IN HIS MIND__, but he would just say "It's okay...I drank coffee yesterday and yes, I have long hair for the fassion. I also agree that my office is clean and I have exactly 12 pencils today. Now come in.". As soon as the grandfather comes in, he just touches everything (the medicines, the projector screen, and even the precious medical tools). "NO!", the doctor yells and then the grandfather yells "Be quiet! JUST HELP ME WITH THIS BROKEN LEG!". So the doctor (trying to stay calm) watches the grandfather's legs and should say that he has to take a X-ray photo of his leg, but only said that the leg will get only in a few days. The doctor knew how annoying it could be when he goes in the X-ray room. While he was doing this, the grandfather just kept asking questions like 'Do you have a family?' and 'Are you really, really, really, REALLY sure about my leg?'. Then the curious grandfather poked the doctor's eyeballs asking why it's white and has a black circle in the middle. The doctor (with his eyeballs bleeding) couldn't take it anymore and seriously kicked the grandfather's shin. Finally, the grandfather asked why the doctor's shoes are so shiny and then fainted. That's what will happen if a curious granfather was in a doctor's office.

P.S.- Believe me, curious grandfathers (just like the grandfather next door of my house) can be so annoying that you have to kick their shins sometimes ONLY IF YOU'RE A MAD cow CHILD that likes to kick peoples's shins. This story was just for fun (so fiction!), but if you see it really happen, then call the police.

//**__-Due Thursday, March 5th-__**// ** Using the topic you used in your writing gym, write a 5 paragraph essay. Remember: Introdcutory, 3 supporting, and concluding paragraph. Use space to separate your paragraphs. **

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">**Topic: 14. Most people like one particular animal more than others. Explain why your favorite animal is your favorite animal.**


 * You've experienced a teacher asking you what your favorite animal is and you have to write an essay about it. Writing about your favorite animal is a common topic. This might've happened to you since 1st grade or even in kindergarden, asking "Oh children, will each of you please tell us about your favorite animal?". Now I get into the[[image:http://www.freeware-palm.com/img2/freeware-palm-96749.gif width="168" height="265" align="right"]] complicated version of telling about my favorite animal. However, my favorite animals are bears because they are chubby (cute), used to be my nickname, and original. **


 * First of all, bears are chubby and cute! I mean who hates bears? Bears rock! Well, aren't they cute just like babies? The first time I thought bears were cute was when I first saw bears in Discovery Channel in the age 5. I asked my mom what animal this is and she said that it's a animal named a bear. So I researched and read books about bears. Also, I saw pictures and realized that they were chubby like me. Then after my favorite animal turned out to be a bear, I said the word all day long for about 1 week.**


 * Since I was saying the word 'bear' everytime when I was 5, my sister (6 years older than me) made a nickname for me 'Pooh'. When I think of it right now, I'm embarrassed and I think it's silly, but I used to like the nickname. Even I begged my mom to buy me a teddy bear (which I still have it). If I look at videos when I was a baby right now, I can see why my family called me 'Pooh'. However, I think bears are my favorite animal because it was familiar to me since when I was a baby.**


 * Even though I have my own coincidents to liking bears, there are some examples in the world. Take a look at some old stories or fairy tales. 20% of the stories would have a bear inside. For me, I used to read books that had bears in one of the characters so I'm really used to using bears as one of the characters in a story. What I mean by original is that bears are as common as dogs and cats but are special. Some bears are extinct and even polar bears are in danger because of global warming. In conclusion, we have to stop making bears go away since they are all around us.**


 * So these are my 3 reasons. You might have a different animal that you like particularly with different reasons. My reasons were that bears are cute, was once my nickname, and is orginal compared to the other animals. Remember, the problem is that bears are dying away and we have to save them. All in all, that much people are already familiar to bears and these reasons are why I like bears as my favorite animal particularly.**
 * -Joonyon Park 6F-**


 * P.S.- I know these examples and the whole essay is childish but I had to write about it because I had started writing about it on the writing gym workout.**

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">14. Most people like one particular animal more than others. Explain why your favorite animal is your favorite animal.

 * Well, I bet you've experienced a teacher asking you what your favorite animal is and you have to write a essay about it. This might've happened to you since 1st grade or even in kindergarden, asking "Oh children, will each of you please tell us about your favorite animal?". Now I get into the complicated version of my favorite animal. Most people like a certain animal because they might have an interesting incident including that animal or they just like the cuteness. It's obvious that each person would rank a certain animal better than any other animals. However for me, I like bears. You'll be familiar with this animal in movies or even in stories. When I was about 5 years old, people said that I looked like a chubby bear (such as Pooh) and that was also my nickname. I think people are used to the original brown bear that lives in forests, but I like the small black ones. In conclusion, bears (polar bears, big brown bears, etc.) are my favorite animals yet.**
