This is a response to a little story we read in Core class, or language arts, called Thank You Ma'am. In middle school you will have core for two periods, the first for language arts and the second for history. In this response I typed what I thought the expression, "It takes a village to raise a child," meant. I explained in this response that it, to me, meant that children need a lot of care and love. The reason I felt the need to share this with you was because the prompt had a good theme and meaning to it. What the prompt said, "It takes a village to raise a child", had a deep, true meaning that everybody sees, but some people don't understand.

This is a project we did for ELA. It was called Mansa Musa's Hajj to Mecca, 'My Personal Journal.' In the journal entries we had to be someone else, I picked to be a servant because I thought it was a good idea and it was. My name in the journal entries was Kankou Malik. The class and I made six journal entries and I found it very creative and professional to do. My teacher told me that I had to think like my character and I did, it was a great way to show that I was a good writer and that I was creative.

This is an assignment we did in the third quarter. It was a project type of thing. In the assignment we had to read the book, "The Big Wave", bye Pearl S. Buck and make a response by writing a haiku (which is a poem with three lines the first line contains five syllables, the second line contains seven syllables, and finally the last line contains five syllables). The project contained of six most crucial parts, the Exposition, the Rising action, the Climax, the Falling action. the Resolution, and finally the Theme Paragraph. For each part, except the Theme Paragraph, we had to add a picture that described, or helped the viewer picture the writing in their heads clearly. I thought this was a good idea to add to my site, because it has a lot of creativity and hard work put into it. I also put it on my site, because the poems were pretty awesome.

Here's a picture of part of my 1060's web quest we did in English class. What we had to do was, go on to our teachers website and use some links she gave us to answer the questions on the 1960's. The questions ranged from shirts, hairstyles, cars, actors, and, many more. The quest was pretty easy and it was an unique way to know things that we didn't know before, which was the reason I decided to share this with you.
