English Activity

English 8 has been my favorite class this year ! I'm am sad that it is coming to the end but at least be get to do a fun activity  to end the year!! I think we should poem hunt , you have to look for poems,paragraphs and everything else that we learnt this year. At the end of the hunt you have to make a poem or a paragraph of what you have found. Who ever has the most poems or paragraphs win !

My Goal

 Wow I can't believe that grade eight is almost over! Its been the best year yet! I still remember talking with my friends and saying I was afraid to go to high school because I thought it would get stuffed in a locker or garbage can. Once I walked in through the front door of the school, I knew everything was going to be just fine. I remember seeing my friends for the first time looking great in there back to school clothes.We sat at the first blue table feeling  a little scared, but after a few days everything was fine.  A few months later, I joined the grade eight volleyball team.That was one of my favorite times in this school because everyone felt they were apart of something. My goal for the next 9 weeks is to do better in my courses and study more!!

What makes a good song

I feel that a good song to me is when it has a good beat and lyrics . The type of music I like to listen to is pop, pop is music with a good beat and people telling story's if you  really listen to the lyrics. Music is something I can relate to because if somethings bugging me I can just turn on my radio and that makes me feel a  lot better.  A song That has a meaning  is a song that and  if there is a song that you can dance and sing  to that even makes a better song !My top five songs are :

5: Still perfect-pink : Still perfect is a song is about making  bad decisions  and you are still perfect no matter what you do. Everyone makes a wrong turn in life and you learn from it . 

4: Who's That Chick- Rhainna ft David Getta-This song has a great beat that makes you just want to get up and dance!






 

3: Alone again -  by Alyssa Reid I like this song because I like the lyrics to it . There is some rap in it but then a girl sings the courses of the song and its about once you fall its hard to get back up on your feet. 


2: Born This Way - Lady Gaga This song is about expressing  your self and don't be ashamed about who you are. This song has a great beat that makes you want to get up to dance and has some amazing lyrics. One of the lyrics I like  is "So hold your head up, girl and you you'll go far" it means a lot to me because its true if you look down upon your self you will have no confides.


1: What The Hell- Avril Lavigne - This song is about having a good time. Sometimes people tell you not to do stuff and you just have to do it because you  know whats best for you self.



Creative

I thought the Video was kind of creative, there was only a few creative things in that video and that's was the orange blog could change into different things with out changing it original shape and how the box turned into a race car. I rate this video 7/10. I am not a very creative person I can come up with rhymes for poems and I can come up with ideas I am not good at making my ideas possible to do.  I give my self 5/10 to be creative.

We Day 2010

One of the most memorable days of 2010 was when I went to We Day In Vancouver. I traveled on the school bus with about 25 of my peers from OSS. When we arrived in Vacouver we checked into the hotel and then my three roommates and I walked down town Vancouver to get some dinner.After we ate our dinner we went back to our hotel and hung out with the other kids from our school.
 The next morning was crazy, we ate breakfast  got dressed and went to the market to get our lunch. Then we all met back up at the hotel and walked five blocks to get to the Rogers Arena.Once we got to the Rogers Arena you could see thousands of kids! I never seen that many kids in my life ! We stood out side of the Arena waiting for the doors to open for about 20 minutes. Once the doors opened it was really quick to get in. I got to see some pretty amazing people such as Craig & Marc Kielburger ( founders of We day ),Al Gore, Martin Sheen,Reverend Jesse L. Jackson Sr, Rick Hansen ,Philippe Cousteau and many more ! They all helped me to understand and feel compasion for others with their amazing speeches and sayings, they all said " NEVER GIVE UP, HELP OTHERS and CHANGE THE WORLD IT ONLY TAKES ONE ! " I will never will forget that day and that's why it was my favorite memory.
