Creative Writing Piece

In creative writing we have guide lines to help us write. One of them was what would happen if you had 100 balloons. I wrote a piece of an adventure about a guy who gets 100 balloons and flights up into the air. When he is in the air he gets hit by a plane and wakes up in Portugal with 3 weird guys. I have not finished this piece but I like it because I know the ending will be very good.

The day I got 100 balloons was like nothing before. It was just a regular day and then I was given the balloons, and now I am in Lisbon Portugal.  My name is Langston Grant from Miami, but now I am in Portugal living in a shack. The day I was handed the balloons was a few weeks ago, and this is how the tail goes.

It was just a regular day in Miami when some crazy guys comes up to me and says, “Hey you skiny guy come here”, “me I say”, “yes you”. I walk over the odd man and right away starts blabbing things about 100 balloons later he pulled about 100 balloons! He asked if I wanted them but I simply said no. He seemed really mad that I said no and shoved the balloons in my hands, and I slowly flew away.

I was flying in the air being pulled up by 100 balloons I wanted to go back down but I was too far up and the drop would have killed me. Higher and higher I went panicking inside trying to stay calm but it was too hard. My arm was getting tired from holding the balloons so I tied the string to my waist. It felt like hours I was in the air for so long. Later I heard something really loud, and I saw a plane coming my way. I tried to get out the way but I couldn’t. The plane was getting closer and I could see the pilot’s face. The look on the pilots was horrified. The plane was so close, then I felt then the impact.

I found myself awaken in a strange hut. I opened my eyes and I was lying on a bed with 3 huge men looking over me. When they saw me open my eyes they started talking in portuguese really fast. Quickly I said I speak english, I did not think they knew how to speak english but they did. “We found lying in a forest not far from here with many balloons,” said one of the huge man.

“We bring you back to this hut and gave you medicine,”

said another big man. “Where am I”, I said. “Lisbon Portugal!” the 3 men cried.

I wondered how I ended up in Portugal, but I remembered some strange man gave me 100 balloons, and I started to float up in the air and the next thing I know I was hit by a plane.

I got up and asked for food. Later I was severed roast sluckling pig and sausages which were as red as a fire truck.

I chose Hip Hop because I know a lot about modern day Hip Hop and I want to learn more about old Hip Hop. Before I started I knew a little about  old Hip Hop like Run D.M.C and Public Enemy. It has been a little hard composing the piece because I did not know what base line to play. Later I figured out and It all came together.

Guild Art Project

In art lately we have been working on a Guild project using felt. You make a picture that represent your guild, your character, and were you are from. I have two men working on a piece of armor in the front. In the back there is an Indian flag because that is were my character is from. Also in the back there are tools and a fire. There is a broader of yellow for style. I liked this project and thought I did very well. I added a lot of detail and hard work. Overall this project was very fun.

In science we have been working on eating a better diet. Our before graph consisted on mostly grain. Now we have been eating more veggies and dairy.

Sam SIn art we are making a geometrical pattern. We make new shapes out of the ones that are already there. After we fill out the sheet we cut out the shapes and put it on a different sheet.

Guild

medievalcoll-5My guild is the armors and armory. Lately we have a warrior from a place in the medieval era. My warrior is named Arjun Lal he is from India. We also have been playing a game called Total War Medieval 2. In the game we learn how to attack and defend a castle. We are making a chain mil out of wire.

Arabian Nights

Revision means looking over again and editing. It also means adding on and including more.

Before I edited my work there were a lot of places  were I could have added more detail. There were also a lot of places were I did not have strong vocab. I also could have added more parts with my theme about the power of story telling. I added this editing  after I got feedback from Julia to have stronger vocab and be more descriptive.  My writing partner also told me to incorporate more from my story arc such as adding more about the desert part.

Cloisters

The Cloisters was very interesting trip with very nice art work. I really liked the Unicorn Tapestries and the outdoor garden. It was very relatable to social studies because it had lots of art work of what we are learning about such as the black plague.
