We were then tasked to create a bookmark that depicts science fiction and fantasy and contains a list of all book genres.]]> 2018-03-21 20:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/315400/xeu865aqiqz0/wish/244755995 315400 https://padlet.com/315400/xeu865aqiqz0/wish/244756930 Our first important essay for seventh grade was The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1983 character analysis for the character Byron.

I enjoyed this assignment, especially since the United States Postal Service, the company that I was writing too, wrote back, and sent a few souvenirs along with the letter.]]> 2018-03-21 20:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/315400/xeu865aqiqz0/wish/244757621 315400 https://padlet.com/315400/xeu865aqiqz0/wish/244758211 The most recent of our writing projects, our Object Obituary was assigned to teach us about puns, one of the literary devices that we learned about.

We learned about the power of music, and chose a respective song, Marvin Gaye's "Inner CIty Blues" in my case, to create a slide about and present it to a small group.]]> 2018-03-21 20:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/315400/xeu865aqiqz0/wish/244758727 315400 https://padlet.com/315400/xeu865aqiqz0/wish/244805538 The best piece of writing I read this year was undoubtedly the classic Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. Although a very well-known and commonly read book, it was my very first time reading any of Dicken's works, and I immediately fell in love. The book opened up an entirely new world of literature for me. ]]> 2018-03-22 01:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/315400/xeu865aqiqz0/wish/244805538 315400 https://padlet.com/315400/xeu865aqiqz0/wish/244851474 Although my year in Mrs. Harmonson's language arts class has been scattered with my achievements, I believe that my proudest success was having my character analysis for The Watsons Go to Birmingham being displayed to the entire class by Mrs. Harmonson. Although it was slightly embarrassing, I was still very pleased that Mrs. Harmonson thought my writing worthy of showing to the class.]]> 2018-03-22 06:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/315400/xeu865aqiqz0/wish/244851474 315400 https://padlet.com/315400/xeu865aqiqz0/wish/245147092 A socratic seminar, named after the famous Greek philosopher, is a type of discussion frequently used in the classroom to practice a students' debate and logical thinking skills. In the seventh grade, we had two socratic seminars - one about civil rights when we read The Watsons, and another about Charles Dickens when we read A Christmas Carol. My engagement in the socratic seminars were moderately successful, since I participated in the discussion with clear statements that turned the direction of the conversation. however, I would have like to prepare more with evidence if I ever participate in one again.]]> 2018-03-22 17:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/315400/xeu865aqiqz0/wish/245147092
