8A. Awards


The most Interesting part of class: The most interesting part of this class award would have to go to doing my first book roundup. I made the Marley and me game and it was interesting to me, because hands on activities are fun for me.

The mot boring/useless part of class: The most boring part of this class was/ useless award is split up into two. The most boring part award goes to reading the Crucible, its not a boring or difficult reading it just doesn’t keep my attention. The most useless award goes to working on the audio books. We got like 3 chapters done, and never turned it in.

Hardest I laughed: There are so many times that I have laughed so hard in this class. There is not one thing to be giving an award to. No one ever takes anything to heart in the class so no matter what is said it is funny.

The thing I learned that will be most useful in my future: This award would have to go to learning speeches. We took so much time on speeches. Everyone was mad about them at the time and hated to do them and take the time to write them out and practice them, but looking back on them it was a really good lesson. There were so many different things I learned for when I need to give a speech and looking back on it I’m glad I took the time to do it.

Best thing about Brigs as a teacher: The best thing about have Brigs for a teacher is that he has a sense of humor. How he just stops in the middle of a lecture and says the most random thing that popped into his head. How he can rarely be serious about anything and he just makes the class better then just reading and writing the whole time.

Thing Brigs could do for the class to make it better in the future: We wasted a lot of time on the audio books, so maybe in the future just do one or two chapters.

7A: Decisions Decisions


The easiest decision that I have had to make was whether or not to go to AVC. At that time I was deciding that I wanted to do cosmetology as a future job. Then we had the fieldtrip to go to the Career Center and learn all about the different careers. That day was when I said I was going to do cosmetology for AVC and I am glad I did it. I am still going to do it next year. The hardest decision I have had to make was deciding now whether or not I still want to do cosmetology and my main job. I also would like to go to school for social working. I’m still undecided. I know I want to get my license but I don’t know if I want to have that as my main job.

6A childhood crush


Okay, everyone has their childhood Celebrities. Mine was the guy from Blues Clues, Steve. He was my favorite. I didn’t have a picture of him but I watched Blues Clues everyday. I thought Steve was so smart when he figured out all of the clues. Honestly I watched that show until I was at least 9. By the time I was nine I wasn’t really interested in the show I would just watch the theme song and then turn it off. I completely lost interest in the show when Steve switched out his character with his cousin Joe. My other childhood crush was William Baldwin Also known as Brian McCaffrey from the movie Backdraft. Backdraft was oddly my favorite childhood movie, and Brian was my favorite. I watched that movie at least three times a week. He was my hero and I was proud of him saving people.

5A English teacher


If I were to be teaching English three I would have to make the class fun. The homework that I pass out would be fun and related to English. Because there are so many students that don’t like to read I would just have them read one book that I chose out. For the in class assignments I would make them hands on somehow to keep the students attention. I would grade homework on completion and then go over the answers in class, because homework should just be a practice and if someone doesn’t want to take it seriously then that is their own fault. If I was showing films I would make sure it was on a topic that that could keep the students attention and I would give them a worksheet to fill out to keep them paying attention. If I realize that the class as a whole is doing well, I would take a day and teach something simple outside if it is a nice day. As far as speeches go I would not make them memorize them and present them I would allow them to have note cards. My class would be the class that the students didn’t mind coming to because compared to their other classes English three would be fun.

1A Food:)


Mmmm. I may not look like it but I am on of those people who say food is my good friend. People always tell that I need to eat more, but thing is those people don’t know me because I eat a lot. My parents always tell me they can’t afford all that I eat. My favorite main food is steak. I could eat steak every day of my life. My favorite vegetable is peas out of the garden, in the summer I eat them everyday. My favorite fruit is cherries or strawberries it is a tie between the two, they are both amazing. I would rather go to Chine Buffet and eat my weight in crab Rangoon then eat that much of anything else. There are not many foods that I dislike; I could pretty much eat anything that you put in front of me besides a few certain foods. I cannot stand to eat meatloaf that is the worst thing ever, if my family has that I go make my own food. Oh and I don’t even want to get started on spinach that is just so nasty. Out of all the fruits I have tried the only one I can say that I actually didn’t care for is grapefruit. I will not eat anything with the least bit of spicy to it, I have no tolerance to spicy food.

2A Cities


There are so many different cities in the United States that I would like to visit but have never had the chance. The first city that I want to visit is San Francisco California. I want to visit San Francisco because I would like to travel over the golden gate bridge. I have always wanted to go to California and I have heard so many great things about San Francisco. The second place that I would like to go is Nevada. I have family members that have gone to Las Vegas Nevada. The reason I would like to go there is because almost everyone that I have talked to has said sky diving there is amazing and I have always wanted to go sky diving. The third city or island I would like to go to is Hawaii. If I went there one of the first things that I would like to do is snorkeling and Scuba diving. The fourth place that I would like to visit is all over Alaska. If I went to Alaska I would want to travel all over and I would especially want to see the skyline at night. For the fifth place I would like to go to Key West Florida. I have been to Florida many times but I have never been to Key West. So many people say great things about Key West and I would just like to go check it out.

2A: TINK!!

The fictional character that I have beloved ever since a child, she is someone that I still love to watch to this day. This girl stared in all of the Peter Pan movies. This amazing fictional star is Tinkerbell. Tinker bell made her most resent movie in 2008 and I loved it. As she grows up she stays at pixy Hallow and every year help prepare for the new seasons. She marries Terrance who is the pixie in charge of pixie dust falls. She and her all of her friends from her teen years are all still best friends and they always still help each other. Tinkerbell also still goes to visit the lost boys, Peter Pan, and Wendy. As she gets older though Wendy died because she lived in the real world where people grow and get older, but Peter Pan and the lost boys are still young and fun for Tink to go hang out with. Tink spends her whole like working to help make the seasons change, and her friends make the flowers bloom, the snow fall, and the water glisten. Tinks whole life is full of wonders and magic.
