What are some major themes in TKM?
How does the author reveal the theme?
What lesson do you think the characters will learn?
What lesson does Harper Lee want YOU to learn by the end of the book?
some major themes that they have in the story tkm is that atticus has courage. the reason he has courage is because he is defending a black man and he is defending him in the time were lots of rascist people lived. i think hes very brave becuase he might be risking his life another major theme is determination because he is determined to risk his life to save another person. also he is determind to win his case, the aurhtor revels his theme in the story by using very powerful quotes. the lesson that the characters will learn is that atticus will learn that not all people will want to defend him during the trial. the lesson that harper lee will want me to learn is that treat people equally also not to judge a book by its cover for example if you see another person with diffrent skin color you should not treat them bad. that s what i think harper lee want us to learn during the end of the movie.

"Test Prep Action Plan"
my goals for test prep is to go to after school scan and study for the test. Also what I will also do is do lots of acuity test prep at home and at school. What I will do to make sure to reach my goal is to not be tardy to school also not go to school when I'm sick but not for other reasons like just wanting to stay. The things I will do to get a 3 on the ela exam also is test myself and ask family members to help me also by testing me in ela questions. What I also will do is come to ela class also because ms.johns always gives us test prep lessons like for example in the morning she will make us answer questions that were on the ela test last year. That's very helpful because its like your doing the state exam but we get to review our questions. The kind of questions that they have in the exam are character questions main idea questions. these questions are the questions that I have alittle trouble with. But I can improve these questions by reviewing theme all the time we do test for practice.

"To My Parents: What I've Learned so far in ELA."
dear, my parents
this year in Ela has been fun and interesting my goals this years is to read twice as many books this years then last year. last years i read harry potter books but my biggest accomplishment is reading the twilight books. my favorite unit this year has been the compare and contrast unit the reason why is because it is about the election this year and that was the topic i was most interested in these past few months. the way that we use technology this year is fun because its fun in a learning way not in a child fun way. we get our assiments on our email that the teacher make for us and we have to do it. the reason that i like the technology this year is because they trust us and i always feel independent when i don't have no one wacthing over me i get to do my work and the teacher trust me. my goals for the rest of the year is to read the whole twilight book series also to keep on making bigger and better essays. for example last year i had seven whole paragraphs in my essay. my goal for the rest of the year is to make at least fifteen paragraphs for any essay that i have to do the reason these are my goals are because next years i will be going to highschool and that how much paragraphs i have to do or even more then that so this is getting me ready for next year. reading and writing is important for the future because mostly famouse or important people have to read and write for the future for example presidents of the united states had to read and write to improve there reading and writing skills. because they need the writing skills to write speeches. and the reading skills to read laws that he has to sign. i also think that reading and writing is important for the future because what will you do without those skills, that's why i am preparing myself for the future.

Readers Response 2
TWILIGHT
PAGES: 1 - 13
The story Twilight the author uses hands grabbing an apple as the cover of the book and the title of the story is called Twilight. I think that the author uses this illustration and title because in the story Bella a girl that moved from Phoenix falls in love with a vampire. I think the apple represents blood because the Apple is very red like blood also a person bites a Apple just like a vampire. The title in the story is called Twilight, the reason I think that its called Twilight is because in the story the town that she moved to was always without sun so i think the town always looks like its in twilight. what i also think is that twilight means darkness and thats the time that vampires come out at twilight

listening passage mona lisa
one of the theories about Mona Lisa's true identity is that Leonardo DA vinci's was Mona Lisa himself. for example the text says that a scientist named Lilian sworts matched both Mona Lisa's and Leonardo DA vinci's portraits in a computer and see if they both have any facial comparison. this has became a theory for example in the text it says no one knows who Mona Lisa is. so most scientist and historians think this theory might be true.

JESUS SALCEDO 11/17/08
ms.johns class 802
do people really change?
I DON'T THINK PEOPLE CHANGE BECAUSE WHEN A PERSON WANTS SOMETHING TO HAPPEN FOR EXAMPLE PASS A GRADE THEY COULD HAVE TO WOK HARD AND NEVER STOP. FOR EXAMPLE IF A PERSON WANTS TO BECOME FAMOUS THEY WOULD NOT STOP. AND STILL BE THE SAME UNTIL THEY SUCCEED, BECAUSE IF A PERSON WANTS SOMETHING GOOD FOR THERE LIFE THEY WONT WANT TO BE LIKE THEY WERE BEFORE. ANOTHER REASON THAT I THINK PEOPLE CHANGE IS BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE HAVE HABITS AND ITS HARD TO LET HABITS GO. FOR EXAMPLE LIKE ME I ALWAYS TOUCH MY EARS AND NEVER STOP IVE BEEN DOING IT SINCE I WAS A BABY AND STILL DO SO THAT'S WHY I THINK PEOPLE NEVER CHANGE.

the winner is barack obama
election reflection
yesterday Barack Obama was elected president of the united states. now history teachers have a page to add in the history books. millions of people wacthed as Obama won the most important job in the world. my prediction for the next election is he might be picked again. I'm a john McCain supporter and wanted him to be the president. but yesterday i seen that Barack Obama is really loved by the people. the reason why i think this is the most historic election is that Barack Obama is African American and no African Americans have been elected as presidents of the united states. but from yesterdays results you can see lots of people don't care about race they care about the big issues these years. i think john McCain should have won but Barack Obama might do a pretty good job as president of the united states of America. he has good results for issues like health care. and taxes. yesterday i was surprised with Pennsylvania and Virginia also Florida and Ohio. those states were meant to be red states. and Florida was the state that made gorge bush in the past election win. that state made him the president of the united states.

''the prisoner of the ant people''
r.a. Montgomery
pages: (1 - 20)
The book that I'm reading is called ''prisoner of the Ant people''. this book is a chose your own adventure book. its a great book to read because its like your reading 20 books in one. the section that I'm reading in the book. is that I'm a commander on a mission. the reason is because I'm a famous scientist/researcher. and I'm on a mission to to stop people from destroying individual planets. In chapter two it tells me If I chose to go with a search party or no. I said yes after that I go to a planet that was going to be destroyed. then I get attacked by giant ants. when I wake up I'm in a bed and ants surrounding me. in that chapter it asked me If I want to panic or to just stay calm. I chose to panic and try to escape. before I read what was going to happen I predicted that I might escaped and I did. then in chapter three they asked If I want to find my Search party I chose to look for them. when chose that I search for them half of them were dead already and two were injured. It asked to find some tools for aid in the planet or to just pick them up and take them to the ship. I chose to pick one of the injured people up. The reason I chose this is it will take more time to look for tools and I could die by getting caught. After that I got in the spaceship and it broke down. They asked should I go out and get tools or stay? That's what I'm up to in the story in Chapter 5.
