We haven’t had many drama classes so it will be challenging to write. In drama class we just play games, no not footballl and baseball! Its drama games. It is sometimes improve and that’s really fun. I’m in the school play with some other people and that’s super fun! Drama is really fun and I can’t wait to show the school Romeo and Juliet.

Adolescent Issues

This year we have a new principle so that means a new A.I teacher! I was lucky to have a chance with Ana and Mark! A.I is very different now, Not in a bad way, just different! In A.I sometimes we watch story corpse and then talk about it. We also have been working on listening. We get in groups and one person talks and the other person listens and then we switch. I really like adolescent issues.

Science game

Tilda, Stella and I made a game for science class. We made it on scratch and it is about photosynthesis. We got a chance to show our game to the fifth graders. Some of them knew all of the answers and some of them knew none. To fix that we made a button, so that it gives you the recipe. The button was really helpful. Tilda did most of the coding but she let me try. It’s harder than it looks! There is hundreds of codes for just one page! This project was really fun for all of us, and we already started our next game.

This is my wire sculptures. We were asked to go out to houston, take a video of us, pick 5 pictures from the video, and turn it into wire. I decided to do a jump so I could capture me up in the air. I have not finished mine yet, but I can tell it is going to look super cool. It was challenging because you had to rap wire around the body so it was thick. There had to be many layers. Its going to look so cool in the end!

Parzival Essay

5 Replies

We read Parzival by Katherine Paterson. We had to write an essay about some of themes in the book, such as Fate V.S Free will, and Good to as questions V.S bad to ask questions. I chose to do It is good to ask questions. We picked one of the themes we wanted to write about and then we began! There were many different stages to writing this essay. We started by writing a thesis statement and then moved on from there. The thesis statement is an important part of the essay. The thesis statement is writing your statement and then three pieces of evidence. The thesis statement was one of my strongest things in my essay. I struggled with writing a conclusion paragraph because I had a strong piece and it was hard to end strong. Ending strong is probably more important then anything. Some of the readers only remember the last part. We had a draft page where it wrote all of the prompts, and then when we felt we were finished we made a copy and deleted the prompts. I am very proud of my essay, at first I thought it wasn’t going to be fun but it turned out really exciting and fun.

Here is my Parzival essay.

It is good that Parzival asked questions because if he didn’t ask questions he could of gotten hurt, confused, and if Parzival didn’t ask questions he wouldn’t be on this.

Would your life be different if you never asked questions? Without questions none of us would be the people that we are. In the book Parzival by Katherine Paterson, a young boy goes on a magical journey to find out who he is, If he didn’t ask questions along they way he would not be royalty right now. It is good that Parzival asked questions because if he didn’t ask questions he could have gotten hurt, confused, and if Parzival didn’t ask questions he wouldn’t be on this journey.

Parzival could have gotten into danger if he didn’t ask questions. On on Page 19 “Kind sir,” said Parzival, “My horse and I are very tired and hungrier yet. Would you give us a meal and lodging?” If Parzival did not ask this man for food, he and his horse could of been in danger. They could have starved. It is significant that he asked this question because if he didn’t ask this question him and his horse could have died. Not only could he have gotten into danger, he could have gotten very confused.

Parzival could have been puzzled if he didn’t ask questions. Page 22-23 , “But which of you is Arthur? I see many Arthur’s here. Which is the one who will make me a knight?”

If he didn’t ask that, he could of asked anyone to make him a knight and been embarrassed and confused. If he walked up to some random person and asked them to make him a knight he

could have been called a fool and been laughed at. He would also be confused because he would not know why everyone was laughing. Parzival needs to ask questions or else a lot of the good things wouldn’t have happened in the book.

It is good that Parzival asked questions because if he didn’t he wouldn’t even be on this journey. On page 6 , “who is God mother?” He asked his mom who God was. If he never asked her that he wouldn’t want to be a knight and he wouldn’t be on this journey. If you remember in the beginning he went on this journey to find the Devil. He wouldn’t know about Angels and Devils if he didn’t ask his mom all these questions. All these reasons prove that It is good that Parzival asked questions.

The questions Parzival asked impacted not only him but everyone around him. If he didn’t ask the questions he asked he wouldn’t be sitting in a throne right now. Just like Parzival, Malala from the book Malala by Malala Yousafzai questioned girls educational rights. If she didn’t question a girl’s right to be educated, girls would not be allowed to go to school. Start asking questions more because questions change the world. Don’t wait for others to change the world, change it yourself.
