Tech Tip: Automotivator for Making Posters

Image
I decided to use the Graphics Creation Tips for my technology tip. I created a meme  Automotivator , this is pretty cool because I haven't made a meme before. I chose this picture because I find this picture pretty humorous and the first thing that came to mind was the quote I attached. I wanted to do the typing test but I have nails on! I am going to do that one before the semester is over though!

Extra Credit Reading : The King o' the Cats

Image
This story is apart of the  English Fairy Tales (2) unit  written by Joseph Jacobs. This story is about sexton's wife and her big black cat who waited for the master to come and he came running in yelling, " Who's Tommy Tildrum?". He wanted to know who Tommy Tildrum was because he fell a sleep in a grave who belonged to Mr. Fordyce. He woke up from Miaou from a cat that looked like Old Tom. The cats wanted him to tell Tom Tildrum that Tim Toidrum's dead. He did not know who Tom was so he couldn't tell anything. Tom spoke and said "What -- old Tom dead! Then I am the King o' the cats" I like these stories because they are unpredictable. I would have never thought this story was going to end that way. I thought the cats carrying the coffin was going to be violent in some way. If I were to re-write that story I would definitely do that! I also think the ending of the story was a little bad. It ended with the cat running up the chimney. I fee...

Story Telling : SpongeMom Know's

Image
I can recall, when I was a little sponge, my mother would get up every morning and cook breakfast for my father and I. My mother would cook some pancakes, biscuits with fresh jelly jam, bacon, sausage and eggs. Those were the best days of my life. While she was cooking I would be outside rolling around on my skateboard. She would yell out the kitchen window when the food was ready. She was the best mother ever.  Just as frequent as she would cook breakfast, she would say,"Now, SpongeBob you be a good boy today and STAY AWAY from the skate park down town". I never really understood why she would tell me that everyday. Me, being the good boy that I was, I never went to the skate park downtown. It was time to go to school after breakfast and I saw the bus parked outside the house. I asked my mother if it was okay that I rode my skate board to school. Surprisingly she said, "Yes, SpongeBob. Be safe son.".  I screamed out, "YOUR'E THE BEST MOM!...

Reading Notes Part B: Mr.Miacca

Image
This story,  Mr.Miacca  comes from the storybook  English Fairy Tales  told by Joseph Jacobs.  This story is about a boy who did not listen to his mother. He was sometimes a good boy and sometimes a bad boy. He decided not to listen to his mother when she told him not to go in the street by himself or he might get caught by Mr.Miacca. Mr.Miacca is known for capturing kids. That is exactly what he did with him.  In my story I want SpongeBob to play the little boy. I want to  make the story a little more interesting. I actually want SpongeBob to put up a hard fight, unlike the little boy did. He managed to talk Mrs.Miacca into letting him go get some pudding for her from his mothers house. He had finally escaped. He continued to be good and not go around the corner. However, one day again he went around the corner and got caught again.  He ended up getting his leg chopped off and put in the pot.  I like this story but I feel like...

Reading Notes Part A: Johnny-Cake

Image
This story, Johnny-Cake  comes from the  English Fairy Tales  by Joseph Jacobs.  This story is about a little boy who was supposed to watch the Johnny-Cake bake in the oven. However, he did not do a good job of doing so. His mother and father asked him to watch it while they went outside and dug up potatoes. I think this story is humorous because the Johnny-Cake is not actually a cake. It is a character that is made out of dough. I want to make sure when I re-tell this story that I keep the humor in it. I am not sure what I might have run out of SpongeBobs house but I definitely want to keep this part of the story the same.  Later on in this story the little Johnny-Cake wan past well diggers and told them he outran an old man and woman and a little boy. He said he could out run them too.  I just thought about what I can replace the Johnny-Cake with. I want to replace him with a live Jelly-fish and have him make grape jam instead of cake. I ca...

Story Telling Week 12: The Horned Witches

Image
I can recall it was a very late night. I stayed up late and polishing conch shells by the fireplace. I was trying to keep my mind busy and not think about the death of my pet snail Gary. Some nights I just can not rest. Then suddenly I heard a knock at the front door. The knock was so hard it scared me. A voice called out, "Open! Open!" "Who is there?" I asked. The voice said, "I am the Witch of one Horn" I was shocked! I never had a Witch come to my house! I threw the conch shell on the ground and I freaked out. I paused for a second a thought to myself maybe Patrick or SquidWard sent the Witch over. They are my neighbors. I went to open the door and the Witch barged in. She grabbed some of the conch shells and sat by the fire. I closed the door behind her and sat down on the couch. The Witch was weird because she did not speak once she took her seat. She sat in silence but she polished the conch shells aggressively. After 10 minutes went by she pau...

Reading Notes B: The Horned Woman

Image
The story that I am reading for part B is  The Horned Woman  from the Celtic Fairy Tales. In this story there is a rich woman that stayed up late in the night preparing wool. When she was interrupted by a witch knocking at the door. The witch came inside of the house and began to card the wool. She asked where the other women was at. This story can be re-written as a story about spongebob being confronted by a witch. A witch under the sea would a be an interesting story. Later in the story there was a second witch that came to the door and this witch had two horns. And so on until there was 12 witches and the 12th one had 12 horns. They all took a seat around the fire. They carded thread as they were sining ancient toons. I think this part would be a cool time to have the witches sing the campfire song from one of the SpongeBob shows. The witches casted a spell over the mistress and in my story I could make Spongebob the mistress and the witches can cast a spell over h...
