6th
Are you nervous about going into sixth grade? Well,don’t be. The two pieces of advice I have for you are,have everything done for class,and do your best to get good grades to make it through sixth grade.
Always study for tests,in some classes you get a review one day and the test is the next day. Have everything done for coach Terry’s class because if you don’t he will give you a zero,especially if he doesn’t like you so much.
The thing that you want to worry about the most in sixth grade is getting good grades,because it determines whether you go to the next grade or not,it is also important to get good grades in middle school because it determines what your future looks like.
Sixth grade is not as bad as you may think. But in order to succeed you have to make good grades and have everything done for class,but you also have to be yourself and don’t worry about what other people think. sixth grade is not hard you just have to put the work in and it will be over before you new it started.
Everyone Has Rights
” To those children all over the world who have no access to education, and to anyone who has fought for their basic human rights.” In “I Am Malala” Malala risk her life to stand up for girls rights to have an education. Kids in America take school for granted because they go all the time,but kids in other countries don’t always get a chance to go to school so they value it.
To start with,kids is America take school for granted. I think that the boys and girls in America take school for granted because we go every day,and for me it gets really boring doing the same thing every day. Another reason, I think boys and girls take school for granted is we don’t think we need an education. I think it is good to have an education because,I want to be a pro basketball player and I can’t do that without going to school and get a good education.
Next,kids in other countries value going to school. They don’t always get a chance to go to school,so they value it. I think that kids in other countries value their education because,in countries like Pakistan there were bombs going off and they were destroying schools. Whenever they get a chance to go to school they learn as much as they can.
In conclusion,kids in America take school for granted because they simply go every day,but other kids in other countries have to worry about not being killed or worrying about their school not being there the next day. I hope you know now that in other countries boys and girls don’t always get an education.But there is one girl that stood up and literally risk her life to have an education and for other boys and girls to have one. “I never heard him ask, ” Who is Malala?” And I didn’t hear the crack, crack, crack of the three bullets. “The last thing I could remember was my exam the next day. After that, everything went black.”
Malala Fights Back
Malala made her voice heard by, bravely speaking up against the Taliban and believing that girls should be aloud to go to school.
To start with, Malala stood up against the Taliban, not just by speaking but by still going to school even when she could get killed for doing it. “ It was alright for little girls to go to school he said,but he still insisted that girls over ten should stay at home, in purdan. I was eleven, but that was not going to stop me.”
Next, Malala also stood up against the Taliban by wearing bright colors and not wearing a burqa. “ The Talib leaned in the back window. His eyes bored into mine. “ sisters” he said to both of us.”you must wear a burqa. You are bringing shame.”
To end with, Malala made her voice heard, by the way she stood out against the Taliban, she went to school when she wasn’t supposed to, she wore bright colors in public. She wanted girls to have an education and that is happened in so many ways.
Education is Important
Education is important to Malala because she has always been around school and does not want to stop learning.
To start with,this shows how Malala wants to have an education and her father wants Malala and other girls to also have an education.”by the time i was eight years old,my father had more than eight hundred students and three campuses.”
Another point,shows a fact that Malala loves to go to school.”But the my father will bust through the front door his voice booming!”Jani!” he’ll say how was school today!”
To end with,learning is so important to Malala that she stood up for her country and she did it because she loves school and didn’t want to give it up.
The World Of Communicating
Communicating on technology is good when you live far away from someone but when it comes to communicating in person it is more helpful. While some differences between communicating in person and communicating on technology are evident,the similarities are salient.
Here are some similarities between communicating in person and on technology. Both way the person is talking weather by spoken or written words. My friends like to text one another but sometimes people can take it the wrong way, it has been proven that it is better to talk in person than on tecnology. I like to talk in person because you are able to communicate better because you are able to understand each other better. But it is also good to talk on the phone if you live far away from family or friends. You also can bully someone in both ways. Some of my friends have been cypher bullied,and it is hurtful because anyone in the world can see it. But some of my friends have been bullied in person with physical contact. I hope now you understand that there are good ways to use technology.
Here are some differences between communicating in person and communicating in technology. You are able to deliver ideas in both ways,but texting or emailing someone makes it more difficult to get the point across to someone. They may not know what you’re talking about, the good thing about delivering ideas is because It is esayer in person because you can elaborate your ideas to one another. Another way is spelling,auto correct can disrupt your true message to someone. A good way about spelling is that you are able to get your message across clearer. I hope now you know that it’s not always good to communicate on technology.
While communicating in technology is good I think it is better to communicate in person,because for example if you are doing a project you are able to plan it out and figure out what you are going to do. I also like to communicate on technology because I have family that lives far away from me.
Basketball
Basketball is a fun sport to learn how to play
One thing you can learn how to do in basketball
Is learn how to go thew your legs and behind your back
But the first thing you want to learn to do in basketball
Is dribble when you dribble you don’t want to slap the ball
You want to use the ends of your fingers
The next thing you learn how to do is a layup
When you do a layup it’s like your floating in the air
To do a layup you run hard,but when you get to the three point line
Slow take three steps then lift your right leg
Then push up with your right arm
Do it nice and smooth
Knots On A Couting Rope
The Power of words/ reflection of out of my mind
You think of HATE
I think of LOVE
When you think of UGLY
I think of BEAUTIFUL
Words are POWERFUL
And you can be ALSO
Think of LOVE instead of HATE
Think of BEAUTIFUL instead of UGLY
Think of KIND instead of mean
Think of POSITIVE words!
Instead of NEGATIVE words!
Always SORE like a BUTTERFLY
Never STING like a BEE
RAISE people UP with POWERFUL
WORDS!
NEVER bring people DOWN with HATEFUL
WORDS!
Literary Response
The thing that I thought stood out the most is, Melody never gave up on herself. Here a few examples of what I thought the theme was in the book, “And what’s more,” she continued,”I think you’re wrong- I know your wrong. Melody has more brains than you’ll ever have.”
At this point the book shows the theme that you have to believein yourself, just because you may have a disability doesn’t mean that you can’t be extremely smart. “Sit down Connor the teacher said with exasperation you did well, but you don’t get the candy, who beat me. Mr Demming cleared his throat and said Melody is the winner with a perfect score.
One other thing I thought the book showed that you have to believe in yourself, so what you have a disability that doesn’t mean you can’t have a friend. ” I think about Rose all the time. I worry that she will change her mind and wont like me. But Rose talks about me like I understand, and she tries to figure out what I’m saying as well.”
From the book I think you shouldn’t let anyone tell you or get in the way just because you have a disability.
