Just so you know

I check the blog three times a day Mrs. Moon. But I do it from my phone and it won't let me comment from there. Just letting you know I keep up with what you post, this is just the first time I've actually been on the computer in days. :D

okay im stuck

so this meaning thing you said literal and feelings right...
so is the literal the kind of plot summary?
and feelings the way we feel about it?

im feeling super rusty on this stuff....

Happy Holidays!!

Hi everyone!! Merry Christmas Eve and Merry Christmas (tomorrow)!!

Hope everyone is happy and having a wonderful holiday! I've been to the in-laws house for yummy lunch (I made a vegetarian strudel) and now I am visiting with my mom and brother.

Tonight we will be spending the night at the Moons and opening gifts with Hunter's little nephew in the morning. He is 5 and believes in Santa, so that will be really cute. Then we will go to my mom's and open presents with my little niece. She's 2 and is just getting into the Santa thing. We eat bagels with lox and cream cheese, look in our stockings, then open all our gifts really SLOWLY and everyone watches. Can't wait!

What are your holiday traditions?

Merry Christmas!

Ha! This isn't Christmas related but it's funny!

This is in my neighborhood! :) And Julian's...and Mrs. Moon's? Haha.

Funny Video

This video is hilarious. I promise nothing pops out at you or anything surprising happens, just a kid getting beat up by his grandma.

Yay for you!

Good job! Everyone had their portfolios in on time! Woo hoo!

Just one more "P" to go--the Presentation!

Just starting on my picture captions.

What a lovely morning..............................................................................

Well I'm really hungry.

And I keep having to rewrite parts of my Letter to the Judges cause it's so long.

Still haven't done my pictures...

Or my table of contents...

Or backing...

Pandora keep playing that Christmas music. It's not making me sleepy...at all...zzz.

Well. This is easier than I thought.

The Letter to the Judges is taking me like ten minutes.

I've run out of sheet protectors, like I predicted.

And I couldn't make popcorn because I didn't want to take the chance of waking my parents up. So I had taquitos instead.

I know you guys wanted a second by second chronicle of this glorious all-nighter, but I think a post every few hours oughta do it.

Hey y'all.

How ya doin?
Just checkin up on ya.
Hopin' you're sleepin' well.
I'm sure ya are, all warm and snuggly in your beds.
Nighty night children.


Okay now reread that in the voice of this shark and it'll make so much more sense.
:D

Does anyone knoooow...

MRS. MOON

I have so much to doooooooo.

Not really. Just finish my resume, type my letter to the judges, make my table of contents, put everything in its sheet protector, and put page numbers. OMG I HAVE SO MUCH TO DOOOOOOO.

Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Buggin.

OMG

WHERE DOES THE ETHICAL COMMITMENT GO ?!?!

Portfolios and other stuff

PORTFOLIOS DUE TOMORROW BEFORE 8:30 AM IN MY ROOM!

NO PRINTING IN MY ROOM (UNLESS YOU GET HERE REALLY EARLY)!

Our Christmas/Macbeth party will be on Thursday. Please have your gift so your person isn't left out! Remember, no more than $10! And I'll bring some cookies and if you want to as well, feel free.

I'll check the blog until 10:00ish. Good luck!

What day did we pick to do Secret Santa?

I don't remember hearing the final decision.

So...

What's due tomorrow other than Act III

opps.

Ok Mrs Moon, so I feel like an idiot. Even after you answering my question on Friday about where the study guide for Macbeth Act III was, I forgot to grab one. I know, I know.... I feel like Andrew..... So i am just for warning you that I do not have it. I did read the Act though, which is good at least to have that much. However if you are checking it, I dont have it. I might try to stop by your room tomorrow morning and grab one before 1st period, and try to finish it before class if that is possible......

SOrry again

GAME

MOON, BEAT MY MAZE GAME. we are gonna fight on monday if you haven't by then. it's so easy!

Happy Birthday Julian!

Fun Game

Alright, everybody was posting their favorite games so I figured I would go ahead and post mine.

For Friday

OK, we got a lot accomplished today! For tomorrow:

1. Vocab Quiz
2. Work on Portfolio (so, bring all of your stuff (including portfolio) so we can see what you still need to do)
3. Work on Speech
4. Finish Act II of Macbeth

Don't neglect all you need to do for your Portfolio--resume, section dividers, letter to the judges, etc.

My favorite time wasting game

Here is my favorite time wasting game. Seriously, I could play it for hours!

http//www.eastoftheweb.com/cgi-bin/top_scores.pl?game=eight

This game is intriguing.

It's called Shrink It, and you should only play if you've completed the other 148 assignments we have to do for English.

Mrs. Moooooooon

Don't forget to do Secret Santa names tomorrow.
Also, I'M FREAKING OUT ABOUT MY PRODUCT GRADE.

Blossoming Music Career

Ok my little 6th grade sister made this music video for a song she sang called "Tik Tok". It's a big hit now, and apparently she already has a couple contract offers. Somebody just has to teach her to put on makeup. Maybe you can help her out Moon!

ANDREW!!!!!

it is pronounced gill-yard which may sound like gilly-ard. thank you. not gail-lard, (COMMA) even though it may appear to sound that way. how ostentatious of you.

Etimoloujee

Ostentatious: from the mid-1500's; Latin word "ostentatio" meaning "vain display".

What's Been Going On?

What the heck? That crazy sub we had today definitely logged on to my profile, changed my name, and put a picture of himself where mine used to be. I guess you're right Taylor, he did figure out how to get on to the blog! Seriously, I did not make any of those posts. I don't know how he did it, but he did. Don't worry though; (semicolon, or "as follows") I've changed my profile name and picture back to what it was, so he shouldn't be able to get back on anymore.

Good night and good luck

Ok, kiddies...

It's been a long day of jury dutying. I'm going to cuddle up with my latest edition of Vegetarian Times (it just arrived today like a little ray of light) and hit the hay soon.

See you tomorrow BEFORE 8:30. Seriously, let's not have any repeats of the portfolio check day. You cannot print in my room! You cannot be working on your product when the 8:30 bell rings (which we all know has been ringing early). You must have everything ready to hand in or you can just keep it and it's a day late.

Got it?

I actually don't think it's funny.

I mean, I know it's unlikely, but what if he saw all the stuff that's been posted?
He's like an ex-scientist, I'm sure he could figure out how to find a blog if he really wanted to.
Again, I'm sure he'll never see any of your uncalled for remarks, but still-this is cyber bullying. And this kind of stuff is what leads children, and I'm sure also, adults, into bouts of depression and other social disorders. From these they can deal with life long trauma that can also lead them to do really bad things in order to seek revenge, make themselves feel better, and so on. Even though you're joking, some people may not see it that way. Please think twice before you say something about someone, even if it is behind their back.

Anything else?

Any more questions? Ask now or forever hold your peace.

lets not have all that classwork due tomorrow, thanks

Finally done...

Well, I am finally home from a LONG day of jury duty. Thankfully, I was not chosen and get to come back and see you all tomorrow.

I'm assuming that all is on track for the Products tomorrow. Before 8:30 in my room (actually, the earlier the better).

I'll be here until about 9 to answer any questions.

Hope today went well.

Did you like the video?

Hello

Like I said, I followed Mrs. Moon's instructions to the word today. Even the punctuation. Like commas and semicolons. Before I go home to my laboratory, (comma) I would like to leave the class with the following link to The Questor Tapes. I believe I performed the linkage of the two websites correctly; (semicolon) however, (comma) being an English teacher and an analytical chemist I am not too familiar with the application of internet technology, (comma) so it is very possible that the link leads to nowhere. Don't forget to USE THE INTERNET to find the meaning of an anagram, (comma) or maybe this is the perfect opportunity to purchase a new Webster's Dictionary. The 2010 edition should be out for the holiday season. And by the way, (comma) Mrs. Gaylord, (comma) I apologize for my pronunciation of your name.

OMG!

I just found my newest favoritest website EVER! (link) Don't worry Moon, it's got nothing to do with bears.

I'm pretty sure you guys should watch this.

Saturday Night Live and their digital shorts...never fail me.

Resume

FOr our resume, what is the objective title? the sheet says to pick one, but iIam a little confused as to what specifically to put. Like Graduation Project? And do we need to write in complete sentences

I have jury duty!!

Ugh! So I just called the juror "hot line" and I do have to report for jury duty tomorrow! This means:

1. No mentor log check tomorrow. I'll check it on Tuesday.

2. I won't see you the day before products are due! You'll have to ask each other or ask me questions via the blog. I think you all will be fine, though. Just look at the sheet I gave you.

Tomorrow you will be:

1. Going over your new vocabulary list. Choose a word for your etymology and to write a sentence on the board.

2. Watching a video on Shakespeare. It is actually pretty good! There is a work sheet that goes with it. It contains a lot of info, so pay attention!

3. Working on a Shakespearean phrase "fun" assignment. Details will be given by the sub.

If you get all this done, you really should work on your Portfolios! So, bring them to class tomorrow so that you can stuff them!

I'll be on the blog so find me here if you need anything! You all will be just fine!

Taylor, I'll need to know if everything is a "go" for Tuesday's TV taping. Let me know...

Sorry Mandrew...

Yeah, I had to delete your post. Thanks for the nice slide show, but I don't think I can leave it on the blog for pretty obvious reasons!

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, oh well...

Hey Moon....

It's ok that alot of my pictures will be screenshots, right? Because 90% of my product has been done/typed/created on the computer....

Here's the song Mrs. Moon, and everybody else.

Don't judge cause of who it is, and the slideshow is really gay, but this song is freaking amazing. In my eyes at least.

Crazy Commercial

Alright, I was just surfin the web and I found this video. It's a car commercial that never was used because a mistake occured in the editing process. Turn the volume way up, there is some audio, and watch the car after it goes behind the trees. Funny stuff!

Mead hall

What was the name of our mead hall again?

Is everyone going to be here tomorrow? I want to take our new class picture to put on the blog.

I can't wait to eat all of our yummy, "real" food!

Don't forget your reflection, riddle, and wielding story!

Naughty or Nice?

Pretty cute...

Riddle of the Day

Since I am up late watching the Carolina game, I decided to give you the chance to solve a riddle:

You've been sentenced to death in an obscure foreign country which has a strange law. Before the sentence is carried out, two papers -- one with "LIFE" written on it and one with "DEATH" written on it -- are folded up and placed in a hat. You are permitted to pick out one of the papers (without looking), and if you choose the one with "LIFE" written on it, you are set free. Otherwise, the death sentence is carried out.

On this occasion, a mean-spirited acquaintenance of yours, bent on your demise, has substituted the paper with "LIFE" written on it with another one with "DEATH" written on it. This person gleefully informs you of what he has done and that you are doomed to die. You are not permitted to speak to anyone about this misdeed, nor will you have a chance to switch the papers or the hat yourself in time. How will you avoid certain death?
