This week we learned about relationships. This is called symbiosis. We learned about all the different kinds, some good and some bad. We talked about the relationship that lennie and george had. We also talked about the relationship that Candy and his dog had, and the relationship Curley and his wife had. We started reading the book October Sky. Mr. S showed us videos of the 1930’s and the 1950’s. We had to show the differences between them. It was cool to see how much has changed.
This week we were able to watch the movie Of Mice and Men. We were able to watch the whole movie because of the juniors taking the SAT. After reading the book and watching the movie I had a pretty good understanding of what happened in the book. We got a piece of paper yesterday and it had us highlight and write notes about what kind of relationships were in the book. It helped me work on making connections. I haven't memorized all of the kinds of relationships, or an at all, yet. I know that George and Lennie had a pretty mutual relationship. George definitely helped lennie and made things better for him but Lennie also helped George. Without Lennie, George would have kept going on and on and maybe he wouldn't have ever had a goal set on his mind. This week i learned how to start new ideas and get deeper in my writing. MR. S suggested to type short little ideas about what i want to write about and then branch off when i find a good idea. At the beginning of the week i really sucked at thinking of things to type about and its only been a couple days and i feel like I'm starting to get better. When i was reading by myself I'm getting a little bit better at taking in more information. I haven't gotten much better but for only being in class 3 days this week including Friday i have gotten better at a lot. |
