My Top Five

This is a blog post.  Title it "My Top Five."

You get to choose the category (sports, video games, candy, soda, movies, television shows, foods, etc.)

List your choices from 5 to 1.  Write at least 3 sentences about why you made each choice.

Include at least 1 picture.

Who would you choose?

For today's blog post you are going to choose one living person that you would like to sit down and have a conversation with.  You can choose anyone (celebrity, singer, sports star, the president, etc.) provided that he/she is a real living person.

After you have chosen the person you will write
at least 2 paragraphs
at least 100 words
about why you chose that person
and what you would talk about.
include at least one picture of the person.

Title the blog post "My Conversation with thenameoftheperson."

What is your purpose?

Go here and read the article.  Read the article.  The writing part of this assignment is relatively short.  Spend the few minutes and actually read the entire article.  Read the article.

After reading the article do the exercise that he describes to find your purpose.

This is a blog assignment titled "My Purpose."

Here’s what to do:

1. Open up a new blog post.  Title it "My Purpose."
2. Write at the top, “What is my true purpose in life?”
3. Write an answer (any answer) that pops into your head. It doesn’t have to be a complete sentence. A short phrase is fine.
4. Repeat step 3 until you write the answer that "makes you cry." This is your purpose.

You probably won't actually cry, but try to come up with a purpose that is important and meaningful to you.

Finish both Stranded assignments

Then when those are completed and published, go back and finish any other unfinished work.

Login to your fontstruct font and Finish both Stranded blog posts.

Today, I will be looking at the font you created, and I will be inputting your grade on schoolloop.

The fontstruct grade will be from 0 and 50.
If you have all 26 capital letters and all 26 lower case letters done you will get at least 25 points.
If you have  all 52 letters complete and designed well, then you will get between 35 and 50 points.

You will be using today's class time to complete Stranded and Stranded 2.  If you have both of those assignments finished, you can then go back and complete other unfinished work.

Stranded- part 2

Yesterday you were given the choice of 3 things to have with you on a deserted island.

In today's scenario, you are given $205 dollars to purchase whatever items you think you are going to need to survive at least 6 months on a deserted island.  There is no cell service, satellite reception, or radio reception.  Any money spent on trying to get off of the island will be wasted.

List the items that you will purchase, the prices and link the prices to the website you will purchase them from.  You do not have to factor in taxes or shipping.  The listed price is what you pay.  You can not spend more than $205.

After your list of items and prices with links, you are going to describe in a paragraph why you chose those items.

Example.

Strike Master K7 Magnesium/Flint Fire Starter (large)  $6.25
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups $29.90  
Tent  $141.92
Machete $26.65


Total spent $204.72
