ah, first grade on sunday mornings…
“running with the pack” – guys, when the important girl in your life takes a philosophy class, it’s important to read a book on the same subject so that you can interject randomly things like “you know, Spinoza might have been right about object-perception analysis” – and such and it sounds like you care about what she cares about – although, in all likelihood, she ended up in the class b/c Intro to Architecture by Ted Moseby was already filled – which is still okay b/c if the book is about philosophy AND running, hey, you still come out on top – even if you don’t know anything about what you read – even if it was about running – you know it’s bad when you’re reading about your favorite subject and you don’t even understand the book:)
“joy in mudville” – great picture book and companion to casey at the bat – joy is the relief pitcher called on to close out the ninth the next day for the Mudville nine – she does the job while proving that girls can play sports – although, the irony is that she doesn’t throw the ball at all in the matter of a baseball
“let me play” – I guess this week was my week for feminism – this book is in our room – the story of title ix and its importance in women’s athletics – women’s rights – really helped me remember lots of what I’d forgotten – and hopefully, lots of you will get to read this one b/c I have like 10 copies
“glory days” – let’s in the blog with a book about Alabama football – recaps important bama games through the years – I spotted errors – which always makes me feel smart – obviously, last night’s game wasn’t in the book (ugh… 🙂
so see everyone tomorrow – except for anna – our honorary nanowrimo CMS-er

I remember writing those poems….
He-yo everyone, so gotta do some journals for the week here they are…and Mr. Mayfield i could not reach my goal in nanowrimo, for this week, i am way behind. i have been really busy and just cant make it that far this week, i will try to make it to 7,000 i hope you understand.
I am reading Theodore Boone: The activist (soapstone)
Substitute: In this book Theo, is a kid lawyer, i think it would be cool to substitute him being a lawyer, to him being a pro Basketball player.
Occasion: This book is all about Theo helping stop a bypass that will destroy the city. I think instead of this it should be major flaw that he noticed in the lawyer world and him trying to fix this while fighting other lawyers.
Audience: I think it would be cool to change the audience from older teens to young kids. You could do this by taking out the big words and making the book shorter and more fictionalized than it really is.
Purpose: If you change the book from a more entertaining piece to a more informative piece, it would make it a Great book to study. If you add more laws and other stuff that lawyers do, then it would really add this touch.
Tone: this book is a humorous/suspenseful tone. If you change to a sad/boring tone (LIKE A TEXTBOOK) then older people would read it and try to gain information from it.
If you incorporated these things in this book then more audiences and different people would read it.
Tuesday- Chomp is by Carl Hiaasen, not Jerry Spinelli, but i was looking at Crash. Wahoo knew that the show was staged because he and his dad had done so many fake setups for comercials that he could tell whenever the set was fake. Derek Badger, the actor and fake survivalist, was cocky and wanted to wrestle Alice. Mickey Cray wouldn’t let anything bad happen to his animals so he said that he couldn’t, and that he would get killed if he tried. Derek Badger swam across the water a few times with Alice in the water in view of the underwater camera, but decided that Alice wasn’t eggressive enough. When she came up for air, Derek Badger jumped on her back. She grabbed him by the pants and spun around. Mickey gave Wahoo the gun and the production assistant snatched it from him. She tried to take a shot but it wasn’t loaded.
Wednesday- Mickey dove in the pond and saved Derek Badger, and drug him to the shore. Later they would edit Mickey Cray out of the shot and say it was an amazing escape by Derek Badger. Derek wanted to play with a big python, but decided that it, too, was too calm. He decided that the show needed to be real with 100% wild animals. He hired Mickey Cray to guide him into the Everglades, even though Mickey said he would get killed. Mickey and Wahoo went to the store to buy stuff for the trip, and saw a girl from Wahoo’s school running away. Wahoo yelled her name and she came over to them. She had a black eye but wouldn’t tell them how she got it. Later she said that her dad had been drinking and he hit her. Mickey went to go teach him that he can’t beat his daughter, but she said he had a gun, and with his double-vision Wahoo wouldn’t let him go.
Thurday- Once upon a time a kid named Cole thought his life was really boring, because it was. He never left the house except when he had to go to school or when the fridge ran out of food. At school he just read third grade books during Mrs. Mack’s class. Nobody knew what was inside his house because it was always messy, due to his little brother and sister. One day this man came to his house, along with thirteen little dwarves. They had to go on an adventure to get gold and so everyone would leave poor little Cole alone. They ended up causing a dragon to get killed and he barely got to keep any of the gold or jewels. He went home and the whole time he always complained about forgetting his Harry Potter books. The End

Ok, so this is my first entry on here.
I’m reading ‘Wicked’ by Addison Moore, who has written other books in the Celestria series that ‘Wicked’ is in(‘Wicked’ being the 4th book, and there are 8 books in all). At this point, Skyla is in a love triangle (life seems to make us girls dumber and love two guys at once, I dunno.) Skyla has just head off to church with Gage, her bf. Now, their talking about how to kill two of the BIG conflicts: Chloe, the woman who wants to kill skyla after skyla resuracted her back after killing her, and the Countsanance, who want all Celestria dead (that being Skyla).
The main internal conflict is that Skyla loves Logan and Gage Oliver (they’re cousins) and she can’t have Logan because he’s count and Celestria, which makes him AND her prey to most. External: Chloe nows that Marshall is a sector, a powerful angel, and could possibly will cause the counts to kill Skyla AND Marshall, unless Marshall will choose himself to sacrifice for her life.
