Eves dropping.

1. Eves dropping is easy, you just sit beside someone and pretend not to listen but you're actually paying attention like there's no tomorrow. 

For my eves dropping, I went into the cafeteria and sat behind a group of people. The conversation was all over the place and between everyone at the table, some payed attention, others were just on their phones and could care less about what was going on around them. 

It felt really strange to sit and record the convo, it only felt weird because the conversations were pointless and empty words thrown at anyone. 

2.After eves dropping it made me think, if these conversations are about nothing it made me think, what if someone eves drop on my conversations with friends, what do they think, does the conversation flow smoothly, does it jump all over the place, does it have a nice base, is everyone participating. 

Because what I was listening to, had none of that. 

3. This can be applied to my writing by thinking about the base of a story, or whatever I am writing. To make a story, or tell sometime these bad to be a solid point to it. 

4.personalities and characteristics of a person are shown though conversations by their body language, and how interested they seem in a convo even if they're doing minimal talking.

5. When more than two people participate in a conversation, I think that no one even finishes where they were going with their story because someone will interrupt and move on to a new subject. As we'll as when there is more than 2 people in a conversation not everyone tends to participate. 

6. I didn't really learn anything because I knew that some people don't pay attention to conversations, and others say whatever they have on heir mind.  I wasn't surprised by anything. 

7. Difference between spoken and written conversations is that when it's written you can take it anyway you want, you don't hear the tone or voice that it was written in or know how it's supposed to sound, when you're in a real life conversation that is happening right I front of you, you know how you should take it in because you hear the tone and language. 

Similarities are that you can choose your words and express yourself in a way that only you're capable of, because you are your own person. 

The struggle.

This might seem a really stupid thing to stress over, but on a good day you feel like taking a selfie, you end up having two great ones that you kep after feeling like 300 other ones. Anyways, am I the only one who stressed over what picture to post? 

The so what

The so what of this picture is that you can have any kind if pets. I think this picture is very cartoon like, and in real life this could be just a rich man in a big mansion with huge gorgeous dogs. But once you convert it into a cartoon it's a rich old man who's pets are dragons. 

Hanging out wjth dragons would be a fun, chill afternoon. 

Rant

Everyone has their own oppinions and what makes me mad is that people have the nerve to say that someone's opinion is irrelevant. 

Fine, you wanna talk about what I think, atleast include me in your discussion or your little group chat where you talk crap about your bestfriend.

Some people think that they're above everyone when in reality they're below everyone just because of how they present themselves. Everyone's opinion is just as relevant as anybody else's. People suck, but it's mostly girls. 

Newspaper Blackout

What is interesting about Austin writing poems is that he scans news papers for creative words, doesn't even read it what so ever.  Making a serious article into something completely different, but sadly his poems don't make sense to me, but I'm sure someone out there will understand them. I think the main reason they're not making sense is because he only ciricles  the parts that he wants to keep and shades everything else. 

Quick write: best meal

Best meal to me would be the one where you can just smell the aroma of the food. Imagine baguettes and croissants baking in the oven, the fresh smell of baking goods. 

Imagine the sweet smells of freshly picked berries laying ontop of your freshly baked croissants. 

To me the best meals are the fresh ones and the ones where you can smell the goodness of your good. 

Quick write: Eden

In my Eden there would be no poor no rich. I think everyone deserves to love without a label that was created based on their wealth. It would be a happy place, no negativity. The weather would

Always be good and you'd hear birds chirping and the world would just be peaceful and everything would be easy to get. No one would discriminate against each other and government would be fare to people. Just think of what perfect means to you, this is what it would be. 

Wear whatever, work wherever, associate with whomever. All that would matter is that at the end of the day you'd be happy with your life and happy with the surroundings.

Skype Reflection.

What went we'll today during our skype presentation is that the groups that presented were ready to go and presented we'll. 

Personally I like collaberating with this class because we get to see what other classes do and how they learn to be creative in English class. It's also a fun pass of time and we learn something new/ teach grade 3s something new. Hopefully they enjoyed our procedural writing! 

Obsessions.

I have recently discovered a new obsession. It's a silly one but it's ok I guess. I fell in love with iPhone cases. On the weekend I spent 30$ On a new phone case and I am now also looking on eBay for cheep ones because everyone thinks I'm crazy for spending so much on just one. What's fun about looking at cases on eBay is you get to bid and the cases are as cheap as .44¢ I think ifs fun and you get to accessorize your phone!

Easter

This is us hungry waiting for our Easter meal!! One is clearly angrier than the other but it's only because of lack of food. Hope everyone had a great Easter! 🐰

Here we go again

No better way to spend your Tuesday night other than at a show with your best fronds. 

CUUUUUUBBBAAAAAAAA

I just came back from Cuba!!! A little burned, a little tan and very relaxed! I had a good time there and a week that I spent in Holguin definitely flew by! 

The weather was great and the beaches are beautiful, water is crystal clear and lots of funny looking fishes. 

Graduating Class

Grads of 2014. I couldn't be happier with each and everyone of these people. Grade 12 would not have been the same without them. ❤️

Just Listen - Doodle

I drew all the basic problem that go on in the famiky that is created in the book to show that on the outside a family might look perfect, but once you get to know them you see all the imperfections and see all the hidden things that you wouldn't normally know about certain someone. Therefore my point was to show that no family is perfect , even the ones in the book.

Spring Break!!

Over spring break I will be going to Cuba and I cant express enough of how excited I am! 

I've never been there, so it will be fun exploring a completely different place and going on all the adventures!! Can't wait till I can swim in the ocean and tan! 

Just the fact that I get to escape for a week from all this snow make me that much more excited about this trip!!

Skype Assignment

My groud and I  presented punctuation, we made our 'Six Word Story' stick with the kids by not making the story complicated. By using simple every day words and adding commas and periods to the sentences will make it a proper sentence. Our strength was using a person who is very talkative and isn't shy, i think if you're trying to teach a kid something you would want a person with a strong voice to explain what you are teaching. 

Our weakness was by not using everyone's voice to teach, as well as because this was a project using only six words, we had so many ideas but most of them were over six words, Therefore I think that was one of the weakness. 

I learned that when you want to teach something to a child, the learning/ teaching process goes by better and more successful when you make it fun.

Six Word Memoir. #6

My past. 

My family is known for traveling a lot and living in many places. This is a picture I took recently in Toronto. 

I love traveling all around the world and being fortunate enough to see and do things that some people haven't dreamt of. 

I used bold white writing because I wanted my statement to stand out on a darker background. I used an exclamation point because it's a very exciting part in my life. 

I love traveling and I don't know what my life would be like if I haven't been to places or seen the world. 

I can't wait to explore more of the world. 

Six Word Memoirs. #5

Family.

When I was younger we always had pets at home and now that were all older we don't have any animals. And I always wanted a dog, but my mom always says no because she thinks she'll end up being the only one who will have to take care of it. Everyone else in the family is on board with getting a dog except for my mom. 

I used exclamation point and a question mark because this is a very exciting topic and it's skmething that you would ask with excitement, in my case anyway I would ask in a very high pitched excited voice. 

These two dogs are Jenni's and I think that she is absolutely lucky to have two dogs when I can't even get one. 

Six Word Memoirs. #4

Confession. 

This might sound really bad, but when I was younger I never wanted to have any siblings, I loved being the only child and all the attention that you get when you're the only one is amazing. 

At the end of the day I love my brother to the moon and back, we fight and we laugh together just like any other siblings out there. 

Because the picture is so light I used black bold writing to make it stand our more but you still see me and my brother. 

The writing was tilted because unwanted the text to be bigger and ended up tilting it and was satisfied with the final look. Ending a sentence with a dot makes it a more serious statement which is what I was going for. 

Six Word Memoirs. #3

Obsession. 

What is better than breakfast food for dinner or lunch and breakfast? Nothing. 

I love breakfast food. Waffles and Crepes and Pankakes are my favourite. 

This is a picture of my breakfast the other day. Homemade waffle with chocolate chips and syrup. How good does that sound? 

I used plain white bold writing because I want the main focus to be the waffle in the picture and the words above the picture won't be flashing and too distracting. 

The reasoning behind the explanation point at the end of my six words is to show my excitement and how happy breakfast food makes me. 

Breakfast food works for any meal during the day, plus breakfast is the most important meal of the day; so why not just carry it through out  your whole day

? 

Six Word Memoir #2

Hate. 

This is a picture of my twitter feed. As you can see my tweets are simple, nothing too exciting. But there is this one girl that likes to make same tweets as me and talk about same things. Let's say I will make a tweet about me going away on a tropical vacation, approximately two hours later of you go onto her twitter feed you will see that she has tweeted something about wanting to go on a vacation to a tropical place. 

My six words for this picture are very literate because there is someone out there that does it on a regular apparently. 

I used this for the option 'hate' because this girl isn't my favourite person out there.  Every time I confront her about not bein original and copying my actions she denies it and it makes me kind of angry towards her. 

I used bold red writing for this text because I wanted it to stand out. The picture had lots of writing going on in the first place therefore using a bolder font with a brighter colour would not be missed. 

I finished my sentence with three dots to show my annoyance and make a statement that it shouldn't be read in a monotone voice, when I read something with three dots it just trails off and it kind of makes you think about what you read a little more.

Six Word Memoirs. #1

Love. 

This picture is of expired movie tickets

because  my very first date with my boyfriend was at the movies, which is typical, everyone goes to the movies on their first date.

The image and the words fit together because it is exactly what happened. This is a picture of invalid movie tickets.

The filter that was used on this image is called 'Chrome' 

The reason I used pink coloured text was to represent love and make the text stand out more rather than using black or white on darker background. 

I used an emoticon of a heart to tie it in with the title 'Love'. 

The punctuation in this six word memoir is simple, I finished the sentence with a period because I don't think it is exciting enough for an exclamation point, and it's not a question, this was a statement that had to be finished with a period.

Reading!

Today we read 'Mortimer' to kids in grade 4 over Skype. It was different experience. We read to kids that we knew nothing about and their reactions were great. Their facials were so funny. I love reading to kids because they're always get so involved into the story and they just enjoy them. 

Today when we were reading to grade 4s they joined us in when we had to 'stomp' and 'shake our head' it was adorable to see how kids enjoy short stories such as Mortimer. L

Quick Write - image

I saw this image and I saw a finger print. But not an ordinary finger print. I thought, because this has different colors it represents how every person has their own original finger print and this one was colorful. To me this represents that everyone has their own originality and because this one is so colorful I thought that this person is a very happy, exciting person.

Quick write- dream, love, talent.

Talent- making friends. 

Because I move so much I've learned how to be bubbly and outspoken. My personality is based off of making friends, because if my parents never moved so much I wouldn't know how to be so loud and talkative. I think my life would be completely different if I was shy and didn't move to different places. 

Therefore if I ever had to give up my so called 'talent' I wouldn't be the person that I am today. I'm not afraid of walking up to someone and starting a conversation, just thinking about not being able to make speeches infront of big groups of people scares me. I think I would be the type of person who would get anxiety if I had to make conversation and new friends. 

Losing someone I love or my dream would affect it in so many ways. I don't think that you can be completely successful when you're a very quiet person. I feel like you have to have the drive and be loud to get what you want, to be successful you need to be heard. 

Living without three important  things that shape you as a person would be difficult because for me, I push myself off of my talent.  By being talkative and being able to make friends I will be heard and I'll be successful. I have people in my life that love me and push me to succeed. 

Quick write -which door?

I would go through the Narnia door, because in Narnia time goes by fast and you experience a different world. I think it would be really great to experience something different and explore a different world with talking animals and literally living trees. I think having a closet that leads you to a secret world to escape whatever you have going on and when you come back everything is the same would lead a very interesting life style. 

Concert

Going to concerts and meeting bands is one of my interests and you'll find me going to concerts quite often, and this concert was the best concert that I have been to by far. I am also in this picture (see if you can find me)
