On Thursday’s we have our fitness day were we work on the fitness test. On Friday’s we do games and sports.
When we had to write an essay on Parzival I am very proud of my piece because I had a good thesis statement and strong body paragraph’s also I had good evidence to back up my idea. I learned that TEEAC (topic sentence, explanation, evidence, analysis,conclusion) makes your writing a lot better. I can continue to do my best work in the future by having good and strong body paragraph.
Asking questions in life is very important because it leads to learning. In Parzival by Katherine Paterson, the main character, Parzival, does not know much about life, as he lives with his mother in the middle of the forest. When Parzival goes off to the real world he has no “street smarts” whatsoever and is very naive. Parzival goes on many adventures and his asking questions helps him in many ways. Sometimes Parzival does not ask questions,and he faces many consequences. Parzival’s ability to ask questions in order to gain knowledge helps him a lot, including becoming a knight, a king and finding his siblings.
Parzival asked questions to some knights he saw in the forest he found out more about life and was destined to be a knight. Since Parzival was raised alone in the woods with his mother he did not know of God and knights and when he met the knights and asked questions about being a knight he was destined to become a knight. As soon as Parzival got home he asked his mom about knights and wanted to be one. “And then ran to tell his mother all that he had seen and heard.”(p.9)One day Parzival came to Arthur’s court where he could become a knight, and he was very eager to become a knight. “Make me a knight!”(p.24) Also he wanted armor very eagerly so he kills a red knight right who has armor right away.”The red knight fell to the ground.”(p.28)Here Parzival asking questions helped him in many ways such as becoming a knight. Asking questions helped Parzival to become a knight which eventually made him a king.
When Parzival was at wild mountain he asked the question why the king was so hurt, which made him a king. Parzival arrived at wild mountain one day, and he asked the question why the king was so sick. The king became better because the question heals the king, and Parzival was king.He came back to ask the question and became king “The grail knight had come.” (p.122) Parzival healed the king and became the king. “Anfortas was no longer king. Glady, he gave crown to Parzival and became one of the templars whose life was devoted to the grail.” (p.123) Asking questions helped him here because he soon was king and helped Anfortas.Asking questions helped Parzival because he was a king and later found his siblings.
Later Parzival meet some of his siblings he did not know who there were and asked questions. Posterior he found out that they were his siblings.Parzival has meet a lot of his siblings over time, but did not know it was them so he asked questions and found out that they were his siblings.Parzival meets his brother and asked to know who he is. “Who are you bold knight.”(p.114) As well he meets his uncle by asking questions about god. “God will help, but where was his help for me?” (p.101)When Parzival meets his siblings he soon finds out who they are by asking questions, and that helps him. Since he meets his brother by asking questions he goes on a journey with him.For Parzival asking questions helped him meet his siblings and much more great things.
Because Parzival has not much knowledge when he leaves his mother as young boy asking questions helped him a lot for example becoming a knight finding his siblings, and becoming king. When Parzival does not ask questions he faces hard times and many consequences such as wild mountain he does not ask the questions and many horrible things happen.
This is a picture of my Xtramath report my first time doing xtramath was doing each problem with 3 seconds. My second time I did it in 2 seconds. Doing xtramath made me a lot better at doing my multiplication facts. I have put in a lot of effort to get better at math and the hard work has payed off.
The picture on the left is part of my test that I did good on. The picture on the right I did not so well.
This is my spanish day of the dead skeleton of Drake
During Beowulf we annotated in many ways. For example we underlined important info, we wrote a chapter summary at the end of each chapter and we circled and defined words we did not know. Annotating is important because you can look back in the book for words you don’t know that you defined, when people see your annotations they can understand the book better and you can understand the book. One thing that I did well was making chapter summary’s at the end of each chapter so when I need to do an assignment I can look back at my work. One thing I want to improve is uderlining important info so I know what is important and what’s not.
During Ashokan we did many activities that involved the outdoors such as the rope course[picture below] gorge hike and many more. While we doing these activities I have learned many things for example during survival class I learned how to make a shelter and when we did blacksmith I learned how to make a fire poker. It was very different from last year because there was a lot of different activities and it was a lot more fun.
In humanities we were assigned a topic from Beowulf and we were split in to groups. My group was assigned the fen which was were Grendel lived. Something I found proud about when we were finished was the picture turned out great. I am proud of this because at the beginning of the picture it looked like a child haunted house and at the end it looked like the fen it self.
1. A goal I have for reading this year is to read more challenging books.
2. A goal I have for writing this year is to have a better pace and to be able to write for a long time.
