Classwork Monday, September 21st: THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW SNAPSHOT: In Korea, there is a traditional holiday called Chuseok. It is a day for people to visit One ugly rainy day, I went to school (as normal), and i found out that my teacher wasn't there. Instead, there was a substitute. Everybody was sad, they missed the teacher,so they decided to be bad to the substitute and talk while he was talking, distract others while it was time to study, and never listen. Everybody thought that the substitute wouldn't do anything to them, so they continued to make him rage with anger. When the substitute finally couldn't hold it any longer, he let it out with a big sigh, and telling the students to come to his office at lunch for a pop quiz to see what they have learned. As a result, nobody got an A. Nobody got a B. Nobody got a C, and nobody got a D. Everybody got an F, because they weren't listening. Classwork Thursday,September 17th 1. write about something that has been annoying you lately. Something that has been annoying me lately was mosquitos, since they kept on buzzing in my ear when I was trying to concentrate on my homework, reading silently, and sleeping. Just when I thought that the "Mosquito season" was over, mosquitos' were attacking me in the air. Especially because my house is on the second floor, there are more mosquitos than any other floors of the apartment, it feels like to me. The exact same thing happens to me when I am in the middle of the best dream possible, mosquitos come to attack my body. Mosquitos can really be annoying, like it has been to me lately. This is what I think has been annoying me the most, lately. Classwork Tuesday, September 15th** **1. Journal: Pretend you are Tao writing a letter to his mom (who he has never known). Dear mom, I am Tao, your son, who has never met, or seen you. I write this letter, in the desperateness, to want to get to know you. I have lived an uncountable number of summers without you. If this ever gets to reach you, mother, please write me a letter back. I feel very anxious to get a reply from my very own mother that i have never seen, or have met. ** 1. Write a 5 sentence summary of "Boy of the Painted Cave" chapter 8. Chapter 8 starts off when Tao and Graybeard is talking about other clans, and about cave paintings. Graybeard tells Tao about the consequences of cave - painting without permission. Tao realizes that Graybeard's father had also been a cave painter, and so Graybeard had to live with it, being one also. After talking about the cave paintings, and Graybeard's father, they start to get ready to leave, and Tao decided to stay in the cave with Ram. That is how chapter 8 ended. Classwork September 14th: 1. Setting is the time and place a story takes place. If you were writing a story about yourself, describe the setting.** such as a jungle. The reason it would take place at a jungle is because kids/ i can be free from craziness in adolescent/ teenager life. In a jungle we can all be free, and it is a time for all of the kids/ teenager to have fun. This is the reason it would take place at a jungle. 2. Journal: How is your day going? 5 sentences My day is going good, so far. I hadn't had homework from my A block, but I had fun in my A- block, computer class. In english class, which I am in right now, we all took a quiz on chapter 1 ~ 5. We are reading a book, called "Boy of the Painted cave " and I am having fun in English, and reading the book. This is how my day is going so far. 1. In your journal: If you were Tao, how would you feel spending that first night alone in your new cave? If I were Tao, I would feel scared spending the first night alone in a new cave, since it was just rearranged, anything might be in the cave. I don't know the cave YET. Just YET. It would be tough spending a whole day, by myself, in the hollow new cave. I would have to get food myself, and learn from nature. I would spend my night inventing, and exploring the cave. I wouldn't be able to sleep because the cave is so freaky, and there is no sound comming from it. This is how I would feel spending my first night at a new cave. 1. Journal Entry: If you lived in the same clan as Tao, what would a typical day be like for you? You may want to use your book for some ideas. Classwork September 3rd: If I lived in the same clan as Tao, a typical day would be like ** If I could change one thing in MS, I would change summer reading. The reason I would change summer reading is because summer vacation is for relaxing, and taking a break. If we have summer reading, we would always be writing and working. Without summer reading, we can still read by ourselves, without recording it, and trying to finish everything in one day. Summer reading can be helpful, but I still think that there is a way to read on our own, without getting recorded. **
 * 1 . Journal: Write the beginning of a story about a class that misbehaves while there is a substitute teacher in class. 7 sentences minimum.
 * Classwork September 14th:
 * The setting of my story would be at a place that is wild, and free.
 * 1. Journal Entry: If you could change one thing in MS, what would it be and why. (At least 5 sentences)

Classwork August 28th: 2. Journal: Would you like to be famous? Why or why not? What would you like to be famous for? 3. Read aloud chapter 3 //Boy of the Painted Cave. //**//August 28.09// I think it would be exciting to be famous since I have never had a famous life. It could be annoying and disturbing sometimes when I just want to relax, and everyone notices me. I still think that getting famous because of my design works would be intresting, and that would make money for me also. More than money, though, I want to be famous because of my design works. August 27.09 If I could have a super power, I wish I could be a magician, so that I could make anything happen any moment. I could hypnotize anyone, activate a spell on somebody, fly, e.t.c. If I were a magician, I would be able to make anything magical happen, any minute. It would do me good when I need to make something happen (only emergency). Also when I want to do something fun, and unusual. I would use it to do good by making things happen at the same time, really fast, like printing a 100 pages of work would be done by the time I blink,and when providing money to the poor, I could just do it right there, at the very exact spot I am standing in. It would be a much faster and easier life with the power of being a magician. I think that it would be fun and exciting being a magician, a very different life. It sounds something like what we would be in a few centuries. ** Something I am excited about in KIS is the house challenges, and the Winter break also, since I think house challenges are fun and competitive. Winter break is a chance for me to take a break from the busy school year. House challenges give each team an oppertunity to have fun playing games, and be competetive. The teams also get a chance to scream out and cheer for their teams. During the winter break, students can also catch up with the work they are behind with. It keeps us (students) from stressing out too much because of work. The third week of school just started off yesterday. It was a busy day, but fun. Since the teachers started to give us REAL homework,last night was homework night. I finally got used to waking up early in the morning and staying up at night doing homework. I made new friends also, which was interesting.
 * 1. Read about how to write a [|friendly letter.]On A-4 paper, write a letter to Mrs. Boerner. Add some decoration. Fold it into thirds.
