They compare their size and looks. Also they talk about what they could each do, but tree can't do what squirrel can do and the squirrel can't do what tree can do. One is different from everyone else, in an outstanding way. It describes the finger prints. 1. Why does the squirrel compare its place in the world to the parts of a year?** He is trying to show how a year is built up of many things just as how the world is made up of many things. They are all different, but they have something that they are better at than everybody else. It is like each individual having their own unique quality, such as having their talents. She is the only one having her thumbprint. Other people's thumbprints would be all different. Not a single person has the same thumbprint with another person. Everyone's fingerprints all differ. These poems would help them to understand better because they would not try to understand why they are different.They would know that they are all different and that they are outstanding. These poems share a message, that even though they are all different, they have their own talents and outstanding qualities that others do not have. Everyone's fingerprints are different. Squirrel and mountain differ from each other. But they are all remarkable, and excellent by having their own qualities and talents.

1. Finish rough draft of 5 paragraph essay. Having at least some kind of restrictions on what students wear, will prevent students from unnecessary distractions.If KIS does not have any form of dress restrictions, students would want to wear any new clothes that they want to show off. For instance, girls might be too cautious about getting their new clothes dirty. Another form of distraction would be the fact that it does not end in clothes. In other words, boys will try to keep their hair style to match their outfit and girls would also put on make up to match their fashion. Therefore, if KIS were to have a dress code, all these unneeded disturbances would be eliminated.
 * HW due Friday, April 9th:**
 * Paragraph 4**

Dress code does not have to make everyone to look the same. It can be as simple as white shirt and navy pants or skirts. The slight change of regulations will not only make school more organized, but it will save students' time to choose what to wear. In addition, it will assist in getting rid of distractions. Minimum reform of a dress code will bring maximum outcome of achieving positive school image. Hence, I strongly support the idea of having a dress code.
 * Paragraph 5**

Most persuasive sentence:** Having some kind of dress code for school will not only help school build its reputation, but it will also make positive image in their own school. 1. Eye contact allows to hold the audience's attention. 2. Some basic hand gestures are size, weight, shape, direction, and location. 3. Eye contact should avoid staring too long at one person.
 * Classwork Wednesday, April 7th:
 * 3 things that I learned:**

Not only the school looking organized, the students will know what to wear to school easily. Without a second thought, they would know what they should wear according to the dress code. However, if students do not have a specific dress code, some students will take time on choosing what to wear in the morning. This would simply result being late to school. By having a dress code, students will not have to spend time on choosing which cloth to wear. Since it is not an uniform they could still wear what they want but in accordance with the dress code. Hence, having a dress code would lead the students to be aware of what they would wear, instead of spending time deciding what to wear each morning. -Sentence Fluency:** 3 -Sentence Fluency:** Sentences are usually constructed correctly; they hang together; they are sound.

 * Fluent(Shakespeare's quote):** “A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”
 * Not fluent:** Friend would understand each other. They would know you just as who you are. That friend would accept what you have become. And allow you to grow also.

Second paragraph** If KIS has a dress code, then school will look more systematic. Students and the way they dress affect school's reputation. For example, if you see a student wearing flip flops where as another student wears sneakers, certainly the student with sneakers would look neater. Having some kind of school for school will not only help school build its reputation, but it will also make positive image in their own school. Another example would be, when school makes students wear navy pants, navy could become the color of the school to build up school spirits.Therefore in my opinion, some regulations are needed in order to keep the 'good school image'.
 * Homework Due April 2nd 2010

First paragraph** Many schools require a particular dress code for students, and indeed they should require it. There might be some people who disagrees, claiming that the students will have more variety of choice when there dress code is not required. On the other hand, many students and teachers would support this idea of having dress code because the school would seem to be more organized, and students will also be able to choose what to wear to school without difficulty which would save time. Furthermore, having a dress code would prevent unnecessary distractions. It is important to note that when I say 'dress code', it does not strictly mean 'uniforms'. It will not be too strict, so it will satisfy all students. Evidently, there are more advantages than the disadvantages when the school demands a dress code.

Then others will know who you really are. You shouldn't hide yourself and be in trouble like Victor. -I think they try hard because having a good impression at first is important so later on, they will be able to continue with that impression. On the other hand, if one makes a bad impression at first, people would not prefer working or doing something with that one anymore. -Yes, I think young Americans should speak more than one language. This is because in the future, when they get jobs, they might have to travel or meet many people from different countries. So if they know more than one language, it would be easier to work. Furthermore, if they know more than one language they would be able to meet and know more people from different countries also.

Crispin learns about music since Bear teaches him. Crispin is able to play recorder flute. This makes Crispin to have interest in his life. One day, suddenly Bear starts reading what is on Cross.

 * Explain main reasons why some students drop out of school.

Dropping out of school is a big deal for most of the “normal” students. We always hear that people go to school and graduate from schools. It seems very “normal” for us to think that going to school is necessary. However, some students do drop out of school for several reasons. What are these reasons? This essay suggests that there are three main reasons why students drop out of school. First, school curriculums are limited. There are students who want to concentrate only on music or arts. Second, some students simply feel it difficult to socially fit in with the others. Third, in the case of financial difficulty, a student might be forced to quit school.

Most of the schools that we attend today require us to take English, Math, Social Studies, and Science as the basis for other studies in the future. However, if a student is certain that he or she would become a musician or an artist one might not need to study all of these subjects. For example, many famous artists have, in fact, focused on its talent from an early age. If a student is determined to use the time wisely and put his or her full effort on studying either music or art, dropping out of school and concentrating on one main sector will be more helpful for later in the future.

School is the second place after family where people start to socialize with others. Nevertheless, there is no guarantee that every single person who enters school will have a successful and happy social life. School is one of the entities where people gather for common goal, which is to study. If a person is slower than the others in solving math problems or cannot catch the ball in P.E. class, in other words, if a person is different from the rest it is bound to be left alone. For example, bullying and ostracizing in middle schools and high schools is continuously a problem all over the world. In much severe cases, students not only drop out of school but also commit suicide. In such a case, dropping out of school is not an option, but can be seen as the only choice.

There are other cases where students drop out of school especially against their will. And this is the case of financial difficulty. Not only in developing countries but still in countries like Korea and China, there are students that need to earn money instead of receiving proper education. Especially in Korea’s case, during the Asian Financial Crisis, a lot of overseas student from Korea returned home and dropped out of school in the states and other parts of the world because of their domestic financial issues.

For these reasons, we can deduct that attending school is not as “normal” as we thought. Certain prejudice lies within people that dropping out of school is a taboo and we tend to treat people who dropped out of school as “abnormal.” However, the decision to quit school is not out of fun nor is it a subtle one. Some students who are serious about developing their talent for the future can concentrate more on their skills,. Some students many choose to take homeschooling instead, due to their hardship in adjusting to school life. Others might have no choice but to drop out because of the financial burden. We should learn to understand different situations and personalities of the people around us and avoid the implication of either “good” or “bad” about attending school or dropping out of school.**
