1. Describe yourself as a writer. How confident are you about your ability?
I am sometimes confident with my ability in English. The one ability that I am confident with is speaking out loud but when I am reading I have trouble reading out loud. I have problem with.
2. What is your favorite type of writing to do? (e.g. stories, song lyrics, poems or emails) What is it that you like about that type of writing?
I like to write in story format because I think it is easy to do that.
3. What is your least favourite type of writing to do? What is it that bothers you most about that type of writing?
My least favorite type of writing is doing poems because I think it is hard to think of words that rhyme with each other.
4. Tell about a piece of writing that you have really enjoyed. This could be a story read to you by a teacher or a movie you think is really funny (remember, a good movie comes from a good screenplay--which is writing).
The piece that I enjoy is 'Marked'. It is about a girl and how she got marked by a vampire. Now she has to go to a different school to learn what happen to her. The reason I like it is because the writer was very descriptive and I like how they presented the words in the book.
5. Give your thoughts and opinions about the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test. What do you know about it? What would you like to know about it?
The thing that I know about the literacy test is that it is mandatory for every grade 10 to do it. I hate reading and writing, I never did.
After checking through my blog I found out the I have problem capitalizing some letters (i/I)

Killing Reading
1) Use your own experience to explain why you agree or disagree with these statements.
3) Would you enjoy reading "with no strings attached"? In other words, you read what you want but don't have to write a report or assignment once you've finished? Explain.
I both agree and disagree because with being assigned questions the teacher will know who read the book but I disagree because I have do questions about the book.
2) Do you feel reading becomes more and more work the higher you progress in school? Please refer to your own experience to answer this question.
3) Would you enjoy reading "with no strings attached"? In other words, you read what you want but don't have to write a report or assignment once you've finished? Explain.
Yes I would like to read with no strings attached because I will have less stress to anwser questions and enjoy the book.
4) Imagine that you have just finished the best book you ever read. How would you want to share some of your reading experience with your classmates and teacher? (e.g. create a posted about the novel, conference with the teacher, present to a small group of students...)
Just talk to the teacher about the book because I don't like speaking out loud about certain things.

My Dream Last Night
Last night I had a very weird dream.
My friend and I want to Future Shop to find a web cam. I was looking and looking for it but they only had one. So my friend and I deiced to leave because it seemed like a waste of time about going there. We were about to leave the store, then some random reason I ask a person if they have any LEGO. The looked at me with a weird face, and then he said" Yes, Yes we do. It's our special of the day!". So my friend and I got some LEGOS then we left. That was my dream last night.

Why Everyone Should Have A Pocket Camel
Yesterday I got a camel. Not a real camel but a mini pocket sized camel. My best friend and I are saying that it is our kid and its name is Jimmy.
I think that everyone should have a pocket size camel with them at all times. The pocket camel can be your friends friend. They can protect you for danger. Also they are very easy to keep care of.
A pocket size camel is a great friend to have with you. They can make you happy when your friends are not around you. The camel can do what every you want it to do.
They can protect you any time your are in danger. You can use your pocket camel for a distraction then, your can use his/her as a weapon to protect you.
The pocket camel is so easy to keep care of. You don't have to walk it, clean up for it , and they are not messy.
That's all of my reasons that i think that everyone should have a pocket camel on you at all times.

Lord of the Flies
1. Did you know that "Lord of the Flies" is another name for the devil? The title of the book suggests that the author was interested in evil. Interestingly, all the evil was committed by the children and the "Lord of the Flies" never appears. Describe some of the evil you witnessed in the film. If you did not see the whole movie you can discuss any evil you have heard of in the news.
In the movie there was alot of evil/bad things that was happening. One of them is that a group of kids killed three people on the island. Another is that there was swearing alot to each other and not showing respect to one an others.
2. How responsible do you think the children are for what happened? At what age is a person no longer a child and fully responsible for his or her behaviour?
All children are responsible for what they do no matter what it is. The age that is not a kid any more is 13 and up so they will have to deal with there own behaviour.
3. What do you believe? Do people behave because they know that it is the right thing to do, or do people behave because they are afraid of consequences?
I believe that people do both of them because some people might be scary of the consequences and the other just know that it is not right to do somethings.
4. Whose fault was it that Piggy died? Was it simply the boy(s) who rolled the stone on top of him or was it the whole gang?
In a way it's was the whole gang fault that Piggy died because they inflects the boys that rolled the stone on top of him.
5. Do you feel that people act differently when they are in a group? What is the difference? Why will people do things as a group that they would never do on their own?
I think that people act different in a group of people because they want to be cool and they are scary to act on there own.

Boys and Girl Should Be Separate in High School.
In my own opinion i don't think that boys and girl should be separate in high school. My reason why I thing this is because it would be different to have the same sex though out high school. Boys and girls will have more fights in high school.
In elementary school you were in a combined class room. So you use to it, but now going into an all boys/girls school would be hard to adjust it.
In an all girl high school I think there will be more drama then a combine high school. In an all boys high school I think they will be more fight there too.
Those are my reason why I think that high school student should be all combine together and not just in elementary school.
