The Hawks Talk

We recently read a poem “The Lesson of the Moth” that discusses how one should live one’s life.  What is your reaction to the poem?  Should one be a moth, a cockroach, or some combination of the two?

UPDATE: John Batteiger, a news editor for the San Francisco Chronicle, created and edits the DonMarquis.com web site where readers can find a copy of “The Lesson of the Moth.”  -  APowell

This week in class we had learned about our project and what to do with the project, which is to take pictures and make a movie. We have also learned about several new words which are simile, metaphor, personification, onomatopeia, alliteration, and hyperbole. That is what period 3 did this week.

This week in Mr. Powell’s class we went over many things. We learned how to use metaphors, smilies, personification, onomatopoeia, etc. At the end of the week we were introduced to our project. In groups of no more than three we will be taking pictures to form a poem. The poem is about our lives at St. Georges so far. We will continue to work on this project through out the week.

When I first came to St. Georges I thought  it was extremely boring and that this is not where I would be for the next 4 years of my life. But now I’m haivng so much fun, making new friends and getting closer to old old ones. This school has so much to offer and I love this school. English is a challenge it would be so boring if everything in the class was easy then it would be boring and I wouldn’t grow as a student.
