Week of Feb 20-24 LL #28

Pre-Algebra:

This week I did Chapter 8 lessons. There was also a competition where you submit a video, telling them how much you love Mr. D. Math. There was pretty good prizes- $100 Amazon gift cards and more! Winners are announced on the coming Tuesday. I hope I win! It was really fun and I love making videos ;) I included some of my siblings in the video, so hopefully it is unique enough to win.

Creative Writing:

This week it snowed so much that my class was cancelled. :( I have been starting Creative Writing stories on my own (separate from class) that I'm working on. There's one about a tiger that attacks a girl on a hike, and one where a girl went missing for 2 weeks, and then was dropped off at a hospital with a broken ankle and concussion. She was in a coma for nearly 2 more weeks, and then wakes up with no memory of anything that happened while she was gone.

They're pretty fun! I can't wait to write them! ;)

Social Studies:

This week I read three chapters of Story of the World. I don't have the activity book, so I can't do  my activities. :(

Tech (Exploring Technology):

This week I completed my Orientation for Minecraft. I don't know why I have to do this at the beginning of every semester, but Mom said I had to do it, so I did. It walks you through stuff about the server, and then you make a house.

First Orientation House- House In The Woods

Second Orientation House- House On A Cliffside

Third Orientation House- House On Water

It's cool to see the different styles I chose!

Elective (Writing for Publication):

This week we took a break from travel writing and read through a passage titled "In Defense of Seagulls". We broke it into sections and made that our model. For homework, we are going to write "In Defense Of ____________" (something that people say about homeschooling, since we're all homeschooled) and bring it to class this week. We talked about how "In Defense Of" passages are kind of like Odes, and we thought of this: "Ode To Landfills" written by a seagull. We want to write that, each in our individual way, and bring it to school next week!
