Portfolio cover sheet

Ok Moon, here is my statement. Correct it to the max!
Product: To plan, cook, prepare, and host an all organic dinner party. To educate my guests about the benefits that organic consumption provides through an insightful presentation. To track the health patterns of an all organic eater verses that of a non-organic eater through surveys and interviews.

Remember I will be stopping by class tomorrow!!!

Are you ready for tomorrow??

So, do you have everything for your Portfolio check tomorrow? I hope you are all nodding your heads "Yes, Mrs. Moon." Remember, if you need to print in color, come to my room BEFORE class!

Let me know if you need anything tonight. Good luck!

Etymology words!!

idiosyncratic= Modern English= 1640s-idiosyncrasy, 1960- "shifty" from "quirk"

Stupid Headline

Also, I was just looking at some news stuff, and I read this headline: "Baby Brown Dwarf Twins Spotted by Astronomers". News writers really need to think about stuff they write, don't they? I mean, I've seen twins before. Just because they're brown, and dwarfs, isn't a big deal. How do you think the parents of those kids feel?

Monday

Hey Mrs. Moon,
I hope that you had a great holiday. I would say that I hope you are full of turkey, but knowing you are a dedicated vegitarian makes me refrain.

I wanted to see what we have due this week. I am in the process of planning everything out trying to avoid procrastination. My product is going to be tuesday, which is going to be a crazy day for me, but I wanted to go ahead and get the due dates for everything.

Also I wanted to check about the amount of time I am going to spend grocery shopping for my product. I know that the amount allotted for most people is 30 minutes. However I feel as though I will need at least two hours. To gather up all of my ingredients and decoration needs in a store that I am unfamiliar with( FOr the first time this weekend I went to Fresh Market... I know..... can you believe it? It was like and early Christmas for me), that amount of time is minimum. However, I did not want to put it on my product log and then have points deducted for insufficient time. Let me know!

I FINISH WEBSITE

I just finished my website. Felt like telling somebody. I have 11 hours now. I'm gonna go to bed.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you are full and happy! (I am)

Thanksgiving Trivia

Do you know your Thanksgiving facts?

How many did you get right? I only got 10 right.

OUR BLOG IS BEING HIJACKED

by Mariaporque, theBAMA, Senator McCain, and MoneyTime. Freakin terrorists....

Beowulf

Are you so excited to watch Beowulf tomorrow? I sure am!

If you want to bring a snack (that can be shared with the whole class) to eat during the movie tomorrow, feel free.

I can't wait! Don't you dig this picture of Beowulf?

The Voice of the People

OK, OK, I hear you...

I have taken out the game of darts and the Funny Things to Ponder thing. I can't see the fish from school (it's blocked), so I'll check them out when I get home. (I still could not see the fish last night!!).

I am open to suggestions, always!

MY PEOPLE IT IS TIME

The blog is in need of some serious change.
i have elected myself to take over this transition.
i have no fear, that with my leadership and guidance,
this blog and the people who access it will stay happy and safe-
for as long as their internet browsing days occur

This is no good.

I do not like the new format of our blog.

1. I liked having the list of our recent posts on the side so I could get to whatever one I needed easily.
2. The Google Ad under the chimp makes our blog look so unfriendly.

and

3. Our fish are swimming in dirty water! Maybe Nemo is stuck in the filter and they're just trying to escape. But I think this is very bad for their health. I want them to live long happy fish lives.


How about that Change Mrs. Moon? ;)

Sarah

I had a dream last night that you got scared and didn't cut your hair. I was really mad at you and you failed Graduation Project. It was really crazy because you didn't care at all and were just shrugging the whole thing off.

I hope my dream isn't true...

MY ABSENCE!!!

Mrs. Moon,

I am still in Virginia and might not be back until Monday... which means that I could potentially be missing another day in your class...... unfortunately......

So what do I need to be doing as far as work goes.....
I know that you guys are probably reading Beowulf and that there is going to be log checks, but I do not want to get behind. I am planning on stopping by the school on Monday when I get back into town to talk to you and my other teachers about making up work. Please let me know what I need to do to be prepared for class on Tuesday.

Random Stuff

Good luck tomorrow, Sarah!

Our fish are MIA. I will try to get them back, but for now I added a game of darts. Click play in full screen. I am not very good...

Also, check out this link. What a great idea!! (Please note the sarcasm!)

For all you "losers"

OK, don't take it so personally. I'm only kidding...

Seriously...check out this article! Wow! Some people take it very seriously!

Proof that Bears Exist

Ok, here is a link to Wikipedia about bears, for Taylor and anyone else who questions whether or not bears exist. LINK

I couldn't sleep because I was having a nightmare that all the fish on the blog disappeared, so I logged on to feed the fish and make sure that they were all ok.....AND THEY'RE NOT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M FREAKIN OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For Taylor (and any others)

Grammar Girl :: Irregardless Versus Regardless

I thought about you with this Grammar Girl Podcast. Do you know it? It's great!!

School start time

What do you think about this article? Could Laney adjust?

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6896471&ps=rs

fishy

Ihope there is not a way that we can kill our fish from over eating...because i swear i feed them more food then anybody. I get distracted by the fishies following the mouse that i want to leave a trail for them..... all over their little screen......

Plus it looks super cool. Did you know the more you press your mouse the more food that comes out---- i like to see how dark of a yellow color i can create-----

By the way, i think Mrs. Moon that Julian intended for the yellow fish to be names mariaporque, not the pink...... not that i am criticizing

¡hola cada uno!

hola. mi nombre es mariaporque e im nuevo a este Internet. me preguntaba cuáles un poco es la gente aquí. estoy buscando a nuevos amigos. tengo gusto de party. mi nombre es Mariaporque Rivera

Name our fish

OK, so I want to have names for our class fish. I definitely want one of the green ones to be Frankenstein, but I am open to suggestions for the rest..

So, there's

Green
Pink
Black
Grey
Yellow

Any suggestions?

Post your etymology here!
Don't forget your vocabulary writing is due on Thursday!

I'm baaaaaaccccckkkkk

Well, I'm back from Chi-town and super exhausted! I hope all went well while I was gone. I'm assuming it did, as there are no urgent 911 messages on the blog!

See you tomorrow!

Mrs. Moon, I have a message to deliver.

I have been instructed to tell you to look at your old AP Lit blog.
My sender is top secret.

For Andrew's eyes only

Andrew, it is very imperative that you come to my classroom at 8:20 Tuesday morning to discuss something that has come to my attention. Thanks!

help?

Okay, so I'm finishing my Wake Forest essay, right? and one of the questions is "what is your top ten list?" and then it has like ten blanks to fill in...


what am i supposed to put?

anyone have any clues?

Final Paper

Congratulationssssss!!!!!!!!! You are allll done with your final paper!!!!!!! Take a deeeeeep sigh of relief. Now all we have to do is read Beowulf, products, portfolios, and presentations. This semester is flying by!!!! Don't forget to do your quadruple venn diagrams this weekend!!!!! I'll see you all on Tuesday!

That's really cool Mrs. Moon...

This is a repeat of the night before our midterm.
Why haven't you checked it?!
Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Friday the 13th

Just another reminder:

Give your paper to Mrs. Price in the library before 8:30am tomorrow! Give yourself plenty of time to get to school and hand in your papers. Give your paper to Mrs. Price and tell her your name so she can mark you off on the list.

You need your new, clean, perfected outline, paper, and Works Cited. You also need your edited paper and old rubric.

Good luck! I'll be sending good thoughts your way tomorrow morning. I'll be on the blog tonight until around 9:30 ( I have to go to bed early as we are leaving for Raleigh at 6:30 am). I don't know if I will be able to check the blog over the weekend, so help each other out!

Paper!!!

Are we supposed to put our paper in a big, yellow envelope like we did for our rough draft?

For Thursday

Hope everyone has enjoyed their day off! The weather hasn't been too nice, but not coming to school today was!

I think all you need for tomorrow is your vocab story.

Bring any final questions about your research paper tomorrow--it will be the last time you see me before you turn it in Friday morning before 8:30.

Tomorrow=Beowulf!

Have you seen this??

Have you seen this video spoofing both Frankenstein and Twilight? Too funny!! Please give me your comments after watching...

Yay for me!

I am the queen of the bean!!

Thanks Taylor!!

And here I am giving a presentation at UNCW on using class blogs (with Ms. Jones). I know it's fuzzy, but proof that I was there last night!

Vocabulary Etymology List 2

Post your etymology here!

Have you fed our pet fish yet?

From the Queen of the Bean

Great presentations today everyone! I can't wait to hear about the Anglo-Saxons and War, Old English, and Anglo-Saxon religion tomorrow!

So, on these nights that you don't have homework, you need to use your time wisely! You could start to work on your vocab writing assignment, post your etymology (I'll make a post for this), fix errors in your research paper, work on your product, or meditate and rejuvenate yourself.

Have you ever been stressed out and needed to calm down a little bit? Here is a meditation podcast to try...

YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

E-MAIL MRS. MOON

Mrs. Moon,

I have no idea how to email you my reflection, but I will keep searching on the Laney website and seriously hope I find out how to do it. If I cannot, I'm just saying that I fixed the reflection and it is now 23 lines, yes it is. :)

Anywho I will see you on monday with my paper (woohoo), my reflection- only if I can't email it, and I will be ready to take the vocab. quiz!

Thanks,
Lauren

MWDS

what exactly are you looking for for historical information?.
this is probably a dumb question.
and i bet youre going to answer: "historical information"
but i just wanna be sure.
thanks

For Friday

Yay! It's almost Friday! And tonight is great Thursday night TV--The Office, Parks & Rec, 30 Rock, and Project Runway all come on! Heavenly! It's the only night I really watch TV!

So, for tomorrow, you need your Frank MWDS section, Reflection 3, and be ready for your vocab quiz! Remember we will be in the computer lab for the first 45 minutes of class.

Have a wonderful night!

UGH---- LOTS TO DO!

MRS. Moon,
While I am sure we all greatly appreciate ALL of the work you are giving us--- and I do mean ALLLL ( Seriously, I dont even know if you are aware of how much there is to do) I am sure that none of us would object if you wanted to move back the date, to say MONDAY, for one or more of our assignments. I have completed most of them, however there is still the added pressure of all the little details. Not to mention, our other classes work--- Like myself whom has plenty of A.P. European History Work to do--- that needs attention as well. Of course we all respect your love and desire to torture us with countless assignments, however we would completely understand if you thought of us--- your poor pitiful overloaded students--- and wanted to extend some grace......

JUST SAYING..........

I hope everyone is watching the game...

cause the Phillies are about to get spanked.

Let's go Yankees!

For Thursday

Don't forget your thank you letter copy tomorrow. And remember that your etymology is due by 10:00 tonight. Make sure you copy them down on your vocab list!

In the computer lab tomorrow...

Shadowing my Chemotherapy Patient

WOW! That was one of the most difficult experiences I have ever had. She was so brave and open about her breast cancer I feel like i went through it with her. She is one of the strongest women I have ever met and I am really grateful for her to allow me to sit with her through her cycle and let me pick her brain for information.

Im really glad i decided to do this for part of my product, it gave me a hands on experience around the same people who will be recieving my hair donation.

Im soooooo ready to cut my hair now!

Need a good book to read?

Seriously, it's not like you all are busy or anything...

Here is NPR's list of books to read now. They all sound amazing to me!! I am definitely putting some of these on my wish list (**cough, cough, ** hint, hint** Christmas is right around the corner...).

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120011677

Etymology words

aboriginal- 1660s ( first, earliest) especially in reference to inhabitants of lands colonized by Europeans from aboriginies; specific Australian sense is from 1820.

Frankenstein Characters

Alright Edens. These are all the characters I can think of: Victor; the creature; Henry Clerval; Alphonse Frankenstein; Victor's mom (What's her name again?); Elizabeth; William; Justine; De Lacey; Felix; Agatha; Safie; and those proffessor dudes, Waldman and Kemp. Any others?

Randomness...

Just a few things...

1. Meet with your mentor this week.
2. Keep working on your product & fill out your product log.
3. Don't neglect your Anglo-Saxon riddle.
4. Reflection 3 due Friday.
5. Correct your rough draft for November 13.
6. Colloborate with your partner on your Anglo-Saxon project. (I am looking for stellar visual aids...get creative!)

Did I forget anything important?

Does our sonnet need to be typed?

I'm trying to conserve ink.
Haha.
