Nov 26 Journal Anti-Bulling Week

Like in the past, 200 words, or if that is too many for you, 10 more words than your last journal. Your journal starts with your first handwritten sentence. You don't have to handwrite more than one sentence. Our topic this week, as decided in class, is something to do with bullying and/or imagining yourself as a cartoon character or celebrity. A suggestion is that you could imagine yourself as your favourite cartoon character and what you would do to stop bullying.

Freak the Mighty

This is Ant-Bullying week. Kevin and Max are very different people who develop a friendship. Under different circumstances, they might have bullied each other. Describe their friendship and what each contributes to their partnership.
Take time and put some thought into your answer. Examples from the book in your answer would be helpful. You may use your real name or a pseudonym in your blog posting.

Here Dead We Lie

Answer the following questions on the poem Here Dead We Lie

Journal, November 5

As always, 250 words or 10 more words than last time, whichever comes first. Handwrite at least the first 10 words. I start reading when I see handwriting. The journal is your ticket out of the classroom. This week's topic is whatever you like. You can write about any topic or multiple topics. It can be a story, a how to, a poem, song, or combination of all these forms.
