Lord of the Flies
My favorite person in the Movie is Ralph , Piggy's friend till the end , pretty much .
Ralph and Piggy want the whole team back together , but Jacks team doesn't wanna do it .
Later on in the Movie , Ralph and Piggy goes to the bad side to let Jack and his team know , that they want them all back together .
But while piggy is trying to tell everyone something , the twins throws a big rock down on Piggy's head and kills him .
So now Ralph is left alone , until someone wants to be his friend and help him out with everything . But then Jacks teams, finds out that Ralph is watching around Jacks ground , so they all chase after him and meanwhile ; they are chasing Ralph around the whole Land!
Until they reach the water , and Ralph falls on land , and then looks up and See's a polite standing there, and once everyone of the bad kids came and seen it , they were all in shock!!
So, that is why i like Ralph , cause hes a good guy and always trys to fix things that go bad !
And I'm pretty much the same why , if something goes back with me or my friends, of course I'm going to help them, not just stand there.
Same with Piggy , Piggy and Ralph tryed there best to get the team back together as they came a team but after a week they split up , and then 2 weeks people were dieing , and that wasn't good!!

Series of Paragraphs
Series of Paragraphs
Write a series of paragraphs (at least 3) expressing an opinion on the following topic:
Should boys and girls be required to attend separate high schools?
Well , if the boys and the girls dont get along then maybe you should think about putting them in a reparate high school?
Cause say if one boy and one girl get into a fight , then they will always have that on their mind. But if the girls and the boys are separated from eachother then maybe their is a chance of boys and girls getting along better .
But your gonna have to think about
* Are you sure you want to have your child in that high school?
OR
* Do you want your child to be able to handle her/him self?
So make sure everyone think hard about it . Cause for me, i will NOT put my child in that persession where she is only going to be able to see girls, cause then she will only have girls has friends. And I don't want that . Everyone has the right to be friends with everyone and anybody.
Use a piece of paper to plan your answer before you write. Your series of paragraphs should be organised the same as our sample series of paragraphs. Your final post should look like the sample essay. Keep in mind that for the series of pargraphs each paragraph should be a minimum of 3 to 4 sentences. The sentences must be together in the same way that they are in this paragraph.

Making Full Sentences
Mrs. Martin and I were really pleased with the way everyone applied themselves to the "Writing Conventions" activity. Given that we keep running into incomplete sentences, we thought it would be a good idea to provide you with some extra practice.Please cut and paste the following list of incomplete sentences into a new post in your blog. You can call it "Making Full Sentences." Turn each incomplete sentence into a full sentence. Some sentences may be fine just as they are. If a sentence does not need to be fixed, just leave it as is. (You could put "Ok, as is" after it). Remember, a sentence is a complete idea. As always, spell check before you post.
