Write about someone you would love to see in jail.
Unfortunately, I have more than one person that I want to see put in jail. But especially this week, I would LOVE to see the I.T. guy put into jail. ^^ The reason? He has crashed my computer into a blank sheet of paper. Because of him, I have lost all my wonderful treasures and memories. I have lost what I love the most, music and movies. So I would love to see him in jail!

Do you agree that if you give respect, you get it? Explain.
Yes, I agree that if you give respect you DO get it. The person that you give respect to, probably wants to respect you back as a thank you or just for politeness. It's also good manners to respect everyone such as your family, friends, teachers, or even strangers. If you respect them fairly and kindly, they will give the same respect back to you.

Use the all of the following words in a story: Plastic bottle, baseball, dirty handkerchief, crumpled note, unhinged door
I was sitting on the bleachers, drinking water from a plastic bottle. I was watching my brother's baseball game. His team was winning, two to zero. It was mid-July, the hottest time in Dallas, Texas. The sun was blazing hot and everybody was dripping sweat. A man sitting in front of me wiped his forehead with a dirty handkerchief. The bleachers were packed with families and students to watch the Coppell High School's baseball game. The field wasn't cleaned very well because it head some crumpled notes and plastic cups.

Reflect on your digital storytelling project
I honestly didn't hate the fact that there was a limit on the number of pictures you can have and how long the slideshow could be. However, twelve pictures was too limited. I started the project with seventeen pictures, but the slideshow was 1 minute and 40 seconds long. I wish I could have picked a different story line than my trip to China because most people's story line was about their family vacation. If I could go back and start from the beginning, I would have picked the story about how I got my first puppy. I think that would have been cuter and original to watch. The others did very well, with memorable pictures, variety in music, and just their story line. This was a very enjoyable project to do!

The couple was fighting about who they dated before. They were jealous and envious about each other's past. They were constantly glaring at each and giving each other dirty looks.

When I was in 7th grade, I had a huge fight with my best friend. I can still remember it very well because it was one of the biggest fights I ever had with a friend. I wanted to take revenge, so I disguised myself as this random girl on myspace. I bullied my friend online and pretended that I was someone else. I regret what I did and my actions were very childish and immature. Later on, I confronted to my friend that the girl was me, and surprisingly she understood! I thought that if I told her, we would have never been friends again. But my best friend, who was so mature, forgave me. And we became best friends again!

Is there a cause you care about a lot? How far would you go to stand up for what you believe? I

I wouldn't protest about it, but make signs informing people that handicapped people should be treated equally and should not be stared at or be teased.

You can tell a lot about a person by what he or she says. Here are some things Grandma Dorothy always says
"You can never be too dressed up."
"A woman should never ask a man to dance."
"He is quite a snappy dresser."
Based on these sentences, imagine what kind of person Grandma Dorothy is. Write a paragraph describing her. Feel free to use any or all of her quotations.
Grandma Dorothy seems to be the kind of lady who always complains about stuff that she's not familiar too. She's a grandma, so she's used to her time and not the modern things. Also, it only seems like Grandma Dorothy is complaining because she feels stupid that she doesn't know the modern-day styles. So all she can do is make herself feel better by saying annoying statements.

Reflect on the process of writing a short story. What did you enjoy about it? What was difficult? How would you approach it differently if you did it again?
It's enjoyable to write any type of short story rather than writing an essay or a biography of some one because writing short stories allow you to have more freedom and makes you think out of the box. The difficult part of writing a short story is coming up with an interesting and original story plot. Even though you have the freedom of writing anything, the difficulty is trying to come up with a story and the characters. During the few weeks of sharing our short stories, I've learned some great advices and criticism. So if we had to do a similar assignment like this, I would follow the advices to make my story stronger.

Or, I choreograph dance steps in my head, over, and over again. And if I finally get the dance routine, I try to dance it, in front of a mirror. But, if I'm listening to a very slow and sad song, like a ballad song, I think about moving again or losing my friends. I think about how some people out in the world can get anything they want, when they want it. And I start to feel like a loner. I dream about a lot of stuff, depending on the mood of the song.

I regret what I did and my actions were very childish and immature. Later on, I confronted to my friend that the girl was me, and surprisingly she understood! I thought that if I told her, we would have never been friends again. But my best friend, who was so mature, forgave me. And we became best friends again!Journal Entry - 36

- "A woman should never ask a man to dance."
- "He is quite a snappy dresser."
- Based on these sentences, imagine what kind of person Grandma Dorothy is. Write a paragraph describing her. Feel free to use any or all of her quotations.
Grandma Dorothy seems to be the kind of lady who always complains about stuff that she's not familiar too. She's a grandma, so she's used to her time and not the modern things. Also, it only seems like Grandma Dorothy is complaining because she feels stupid that she doesn't know the modern-day styles. So all she can do is make herself feel better by saying annoying statements.Journal Entry - 33

- Reflect on the process of writing a short story. What did you enjoy about it? What was difficult? How would you approach it differently if you did it again?
It's enjoyable to write any type of short story rather than writing an essay or a biography of some one because writing short stories allow you to have more freedom and makes you think out of the box. The difficult part of writing a short story is coming up with an interesting and original story plot. Even though you have the freedom of writing anything, the difficulty is trying to come up with a story and the characters. During the few weeks of sharing our short stories, I've learned some great advices and criticism. So if we had to do a similar assignment like this, I would follow the advices to make my story stronger.Journal Entry - 24

Or, I choreograph dance steps in my head, over, and over again. And if I finally get the dance routine, I try to dance it, in front of a mirror. But, if I'm listening to a very slow and sad song, like a ballad song, I think about moving again or losing my friends. I think about how some people out in the world can get anything they want, when they want it. And I start to feel like a loner. I dream about a lot of stuff, depending on the mood of the song.
