Q3: Week 8 Write a Poem

Sand, sun, and shells wash over the sand
Starfish, sunscreen, and sunglasses in my hand
The waves are speaking as they crash
The boat is going fast
The water is very cold
And our feet make molds
The ocean breeze fills the air
The sun lightens your hair
The salt water washes you worries away
My favorite place I want to be everyday

In this poem I used alliteration, sibilance, and personification.

    I love your poem! You did a great job of creating imagery for the reader through sibilance. My favorite lines were the last two. Good job!

Q1: Week 3- Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina was one of the top five most destructive, harmful, and costly hurricanes to hit the United States. This hurricane was a category 5 which meant it had the most forceful winds. Katrina cost the United States about $108 billion dollars and killed over 1,800 people. The hurricane traveled from southeastern to central Bahamas, then when it first made landfall it was in southeastern Florida as a category 1 hurricane. Katrina transitioned to a category 5 hurricane when it went into the Gulf of Mexico. When Katrina made landfall in southeastern Louisiana and then once again along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, its intensity lowered to a category 3 hurricane. New Orleans was left with massive damage from Hurricane Katrina due to breaks in the levee separating New Orleans from Lake Pontchartrain. By August 31st, when the hurricane was coming to an end, New Orleans was left almost completely under water by about 80%. The highest surge from Katrina was near Bay St. Louis, MS. Also

Q1:Week 2 My Story

I am standing on the beach with my two dogs, Bella and Roxie, and my sister getting ready to take family pictures. As the photographer approaches,  we start to take the leashes and collars off of Bella and Roxie. The whole time I am taking Bella's collar off I am thinking to myself, " I know she is going to run away any minute" and "I really hope she does not spot a bird". My sister and I begin to sit down with our dogs sitting next to us, when to our dismay Bella sets her eyes on a bird flying above us. As I am reaching my hand to get a hold of her, I am a  moment to late. Bella has taken off. I stand up and start chasing after her while everyone else is shouting her name. All I can hear is faint noises and all I am hoping for is the bird will change directions and start flying back to the photographer and my sister. As I am running after Bella,  people are just looking at her running but no one will grab her. Luckily, just as I was about to think of another

Q2: Week 5 LOTF Response

[Piggy:] "I don't agree with all Jack said, but with some.  'Course there isn't a beast in the forest.  How could there be?  What would a beast eat?" "Pig." "We eat pig." "Piggy!" "I got the conch!" said Piggy indignantly.  "Ralph--they ought to shut up, oughtn't they?  You shut up, you littluns!  What I mean is that I don't agree about this here fear.  Of course there isn't nothing to be afraid of in the forest.  Why--I been there myself!  You'll be talking about ghosts and such things next.  We know what goes on and if there's something wrong, there's someone to put it right." He took off his glasses and blinked at them.  The sun had gone as if the light had been turned off. [...] "Life," said Piggy expansively, "is scientific, that's what it is.  In a year or two when the war's over they'll be traveling to Mars and back.  I know there isn't no beast--n
