Charles Dickens
We did this project back in December right before Christmas break. We had to answer questions from a power point about Charles Dickens. This power point had links to websites so we could find the answers so, this assignment was kind of easy. We also read, A Christmas Carol but it was the play version. We even watched the movie, A Christmas Carol. I chose this assignment for my digital portfolio because it was hard and I worked pretty hard on it, plus it's Christmas.

Folktale
Right now we are learning about folktales. I had to right a Folktale for my English teacher. I am writing a folktale about the fox and the goat. its a very tragic story like Romeo and Juliet. We had to rewrite a folktale that we have already read but we had to make it sound like modern time or we had to make up a folktale. I chose this assignment because we worked on folktales for a while and it was fun.

Crispin Book
For a long time now we have been reading Crispin: The Cross of Lead in core. We just recently finished the book and took a test on the book and I got 80% on the test which is pretty good. I really liked the book because we would read two or three paragraphs and there were always cliff hangers. I also like how it has a huge plot twist and that you can relate to the characters and actually imaging and see how they have developed throughout the book. So, basically what I'm saying is that this is an amazing book and I truly recommend it. I chose to put Crispin: The Cross of Lead on my website because it seemed really important and I worked really hard on Crispin.

1960s Webquest
We are doing a webquest in ELA about the 1960s. Number 3 is a madras shirt, which was a very popular type of shirt in the 1960s. Number four is Justin Bieber with pompadour hair cut, which was a very popular haircut in the 60s. Number 5 has pictures of Convair and Corvette and they were very popular car back then. Number 6 is Paul Newman, I had to find a picture of him young then I had to describe him, like what he did and what he was like. That was part one of the webquest, there was also a part 2 which I couldn't fit but in part 2 I had to name popular Bands, T.V shows, presidents, toys, world events, and I had to list slang word and their definitions. I also had to explain Gangs and Greasers and why teens wanted to be in gangs , and I also had to find the prices of commonly used items.
