Descriptions Using Adjectives in French
Lately in French we have been working on descriptions of people and objects. We have been using adjectives and learning about BAGS rule adjectives. BAGS rule adjectives are adjectives that come before the noun. Usually in French adjectives come after the noun. We did a project on describing a picture that was related to Halloween. In the picture above I described each of those owls. We use est, c’est, le, and la.
Art
In art we made self portraits. Now we are coloring the portraits using different materials. In the picture above, I used a colored pencil and blender so that it was smooth and colorful.
Math
In math currently we are having a unit called decimal ops. We are talking about how to divide, multiply, add and subtract decimals. Math isn’t one of my strongest subject but I am making good progress. I was confused about dividing but now I can do division confidently.
Making of a Knight Monologue
I’m sitting in this dark church with nothing to eat and praying, sitting here and praying for twelve hours. I spent my life as a man for this? I could’ve been a girl and not hidden my identity. At least it was better than getting married this year. My only duty would be to have a baby. So for now I’ll sit here and pray.
What if someone finds out my secret. If they did there’s no telling what they would do. They could imprison me or burn me at the stake. I don’t think mother and father could go on without me. Father has been talking nonsense lately and he is getting very old. I want to be there for him if he’s sick. The way I said goodbye to mother and father keeps running through my mind. Just a quick farewell, I didn’t even look back. That might be the last time I will ever see them.
There is nothing between me and becoming a knight accept the priest blessing my sword and the king performing the ceremony. I’m almost free to be a knight and one will judge me after that. If I have to be a man to be free from the image of society, I will be.
Coat of Arms
My coat of arms is very specific to me. The shield has stars on it because I want to be a star on Broadway when I grow up. The stars are green because green symbolizes hope and I hope to be a Broadway star someday. The background of the shield is blue because I am a very truthful person. The supporters are foxes because I would rather defend myself than fight and I believe in brains over brawn. The crest is a stag because I will only fight when provoked and I am a peaceful person. The mantle is made of oak leaves because people in my family live for a long time. The mantle is silver and gold because I try to be as generous as possible and I am a very sincere person. The motto is “Si non rede sentire non est bonum” which in english means “If it doesn’t feel right it isn’t right”. This is my motto because I am a person who trusts my instincts.
