10 Second Sound Off

Well, I had a pretty great day yesterday, up until the point of third period. We had a sub named Mr. Knott and he had kicked me out of the class because he thought I was climbing. But really, I wasn't. But, after that I proceeded to have a good day and not let the kick out get to me too much. After school, I went home and served my restriction and watched a couple movies.

Now, today I am going on pass in OceanSide for the weekend. I will probably just relax and go to the beach. I look forward to having a very fun and exciting weekend.

Rhyme Poem (AABD Rhyme Scheme)

Once upon a time, there was a boy in a car.. Oh how he wished to be a star.. He thought to himself, " One day, I'll get far." And he did. He began to write, with skills out of sight, he knew wrong from right, and was flying the highest kite. That was the way that he felt.. Like a snowman that could never melt.. A piece of leather, to make a belt. Above all, the point is, that this successful boy in his nice white car, got very far, became a star, and began to live on Mars. He called himself Untouchable.

Figurative Language Games

The best figurative language game I played tonight is " Do you know metaphors?", because it was fun and easy- yet delivers a challenge. In order to play this game, I had to give it a couple tries in order to fully understand it. My final score on this game was %100.

Another enjoyable figurative language game is "Metaphor Battleship", because it was challenging but at the same time fun and it is classic. In order to play this game, I had to follow the link from Ms. Priester's blog. My final score on this game was, me winning and the opponent having 4 hits on my ships. Not too bad at all.

My least favorite figurative language game is " Fling The Teacher", because it is challenging, annoying, and it makes you restart from the VERY beginning if even you ONLY miss one. In order to play this game, I had to follow the link on Ms. Priester's Blog. My final score on this game was 5 losses.
