Descriptions Using Adjectives in French
When completing the Halloween assignment in French, I learned mainly about adjectives and where they’re placed in a sentence. In this assignment I learned that BAGS rule – adjectives that always go in front of the noun are an exception, and regular adjectives go after the noun. I also learned more about conjugating verbs, and the different endings of different pronoun agreement for specific verbs. With the verb être (to be) here are the different endings for the pronouns :
Je suis- I am
Tu es- You are
Il/Elle/on est- He is/she is/everybody is (informal)
Nous sommes- We are
Vous êtes- They are
Ils/eElles – They are (masculine)/ They are (feminine)
For the Halloween assignment we had to pick a Halloween picture and then describe it by using adjectives. I had a lot of fun doing this assignment and learned a lot.
Coat of Arms Paragraph
Green means Hope and Joy, I picked this color because it is one of my favorite colors and I think that It repersents my family well. Blue means truth and loyalty, I chose this color because it goes well with green and It also is very simmilar to green’s meanings. Red means warrior or military strength, I chose this because my great grandfather and great uncle fought in World War 2. The apple means liberality, felicity and peace. The oak tree means Great age and strengh, I chose this because my great grandfather and great uncle fought in World War 2. The panther mens Fierce but tender and loving to children. I chose this because we are always worried about eachother, and we have a black cat that is a big part of ou family.
Becoming a Knight
Becoming A Knight
I am hungry. I am tired. But here I am becoming a knight. I am scared. What if I fail the rest of the process? What if they don’t want me to become a knight? I have not eaten in 15 hours, still praying. I hear my armor clank together as I move over. I am worried that I will fail one of my missions. Soon at dawn I will admit all my sins. But I have to do this. I need to become a knight. I will be able to save people, I will bring justice. I feel scared, but still excited.
I want to speak in the ceremony but I’m not allowed. What would I say? Perhaps this: Thank You, I promise to bring justice, and save all in my path. Something like that. Another hour passes, or at least that’s what it felt like. My stomach grumbles. My eyelids heavy from sleepless hours. I keep on praying, I have to. I am determined.
I keep on praying. I am on the third step of becoming a knight. My throat is dry, and parched, I am very thirsty. I keep going, keep praying, keep trying. I’m restless, I move over, another clank. Please God, help me become a knight. I can not wait for that moment when the king strikes me with the flat of his sword. The second he lifts it from my shoulder, I will be a knight. I think of that moment, it keeps me motivated to keep on going.
Science Diorama
Our diorama is a model of the water purification center at Kensico reservoir. The story we’re trying to tell is if this water purification system was taken away, sickness and tooth decay would occur. Obviously, if that happened lots of people would be in danger so knowing how this process works is important because without it, we would have to get water from a different source and not as many people would have clean water to drink.
