Super Power and Vocabulary

We have started our project for creative writing. I have given an example in class and the students were mesmerized and inspired. We also started reviewing for our vocabulary. There will be a test at the beginning of next week. So please study hard.

Overall the class is doing better. Please remember to be enthusiastic and put effort in the work you do. Your work for this weekend is to do your super hero project, watch some videos too. You have to have 3 TYPED pages or more by Monday.

Pon Pon: Welcome back. We've started on our writing project, hope you can catch up.

Dave: I hope you did well in your swim meet. Please spend some time watch the shows.

Jack: please remember to do what I ask of you.

MJ: I like your story and it has a lot of potentials for more development.

Howard: Attitude and Respect, you have none. You are still rude to other teachers. Remember, you need to respect everyone.

Valerie and Betty: You are too quiet in class, please participate. Make sure you guys finish up to episode 10.

Teddy: You are doing well. Please work on your writing this weekend. Be sure to write down complete sentences, don't jump around with your ideas.

Anne: I know you've been watching the shows, but I need you to write more for your story. Make sure you have 3 pages by Monday. Not 3 pages in the student writing book but 3 typed pages.

Respect and Honor
Teacher Paul

Heroes Project

We will be officially starting our writing project next week. I have the students watch America's most popular television show, Heroes, for research.

The project is for creative writing and I've chosen this topic and this will be fun for them do.

Jack's attitude is getting better in class, just put in more effort in what you do.

Pon Pon, please try not to get distracted in class. I have noticed some of that.

Dave, please watch the shows so we can have discussion in class together.

Teddy, keep up the good work!

Valerie is improving and she reads louder now.

Anne, you are doing better :)

Betty, I know you are busy, so I will only ask you to participate as much as you can.

MJ needs to put some effort in TAS.

Everyone needs to write this down
I will be enthusiastic in class!

Week 10



After a big week of Halloween, things are back to normal. Halloween is really busy and hectic for Tree House staffs because we put in a lot of effort and time into it. I am glad for all the students who can participate.

Important world news this week:
Presidential candidate, Barack Obama has won the election and his speech was very moving. It's not only the US, the but the world will change for the better.

Jack is participating but needs to be more responsible.

Howard please pay more attention and be respectful.

MJ and Pon Pon are doing great. Both of you are completing the work on time and actively participating.

Valerie, Teddy, and Anne need to pay more attention and participate more. You guys can't just sit there and pretend to listen. Be engaged. What is engaged? Write a paragraph and tell me.

Betty and Tina are doing well. You guys try to participate as much as you can.

Extra question:
Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall?
