Romeo and Juliet
Comics are a good way to learn about serious literature like Romeo and Juliet. We made this project as a comic book to summarize the story of Romeo and Juliet and also to be funny. I know that we don't read comics usually to learn something but it can work in that way. Usually comics are cartoon characters with a purpose to entertain the reader with adventures, suspense, death, fights ect but it can be also to teach something, why not?

A day on the bay
Untitled from mistermark on Vimeo.
In computer class, we made some videos about what we might do if we only live a day in a bay, in PV. My video consist on many photos and short clips that only lasted not more than 10 seconds. I really love this project because I got a lot of fun by making the video and by taking the photos and the short clips. It also helped me to developed my creativity. The theme of my video is FAMILY. I choose that theme because I think that if we only have one day to live I would be spending my time with my family that is the most important thing for me that I love. In the beginning, I thought of many other themes like friends, nature and sports but something happened that let me to only one option FAMILY. I left the homework of taking photos and short clips to the end so because of that, in the last day of the long weekend went with my family to La Estancia to eat all together. I took advantage of that moment to do it.
The process of making my video was very long and a liitle difficult but fun. I first, I took the photos from my iphone and the short clips from my sister iphone. Than I download it to my computer (mac) by using iphoto. I made the video by using imovie. Mr. Picketts wanted us to have in our video 5 photos at least from others so by doing that, I used Raul's USB to translate the 4 photos from the classroom computer to my mac. I got a lot of fun by making my video.

Google Earth Tour
Raul: His video was very cool and I understand it all. It was very organized in the way he wanted his trip to look. His tour was real because he really went to that specific places on vacations. He went to Miami. Then he went to Disney Land and in the end, he went to New york. The thing I didn't like was that it was very short and it would be better if he would invent more places to go.
Debora: Her video was very organized. I also like it. The thing I didn't like about Debora's video was that her video was a little long. Also because in some places of her trip, it didn't saw the whole city, it was sometimes very pixelated.

Typing Tracker
For this entire year, we made Typed for several minutes each class in a program called Typing Master. This really helped us to improved our typing a lot especially me. At the start of the school year, my net speed was 17 and 18 words per minute. Now I have 29 or 28 words per minute. I think that I need to type a little faster like 332 words per minute. It was very boring doing typing as a course through the entire year but I think that it would be a good idea to have it in ninth grade. It would be a good idea because it would totally help us in the future a lot.

Short story
Edmund woke up in the middle of the night because he couldn’t sleep. He was very nervous about the game that he was going to play. It was going to be the final and his team called Galaxy, was going to play versus the champion from last year.
The next morning, he didn’t eat anything and went directly to the game.
“ Man, I’m so nervous about this game”, said Edmund.
TIME PASS
“! Mom, mom!”, said Edmund.
“What darling”, said Edmund’s mom.
“! We won, we are champions! !ohoo!, said Edmund.
Edmund was very happy of wining the final, bit he didn’t new that a scout was observing him during the entire game.
The next day, Edmund and his mom dress up to go to church because it was Sunday. Every Sunday, Edmund and his mom assist to the church because they were Mormons who believe in God ,in his son and the holy spirit.
When he arrived home, the phone was ringing and he answered.
“Hello”, he said.
“Yes, with who I have the privilege to be speaking?”, said the scout.
“Edmund sir”, he said.
“Hey son, you have a great talent. Do you know that?” “I watch you yesterday in the final and I’m impressed.” “ My name is Pablo and I want you to play in the minor league with Barcelona and we would take care of you until you are old enough to play as a professional soccer player.” “What do you say?” said Pablo.
“I don’t know……… but thank you”, said Edmund.
“ Think about it and tomorrow I would call you again and have the opportunity to speak with your parents, ok?” said Pablo.
“ Yes”, said Edmund.
“See you”, said Pablo.
Edmund didn’t believe it, his dream was going to come true and he was so excited, until he reminded something. He had 18 years old, and it was the age to go in a mission, that consist on giving 2 years of your life to God to predicate about God’s word in any part of the world. He didn’t know what to do, become a professional, soccer player or to serve as a good Son of God. He went to his room and started to cry. He was very confused of what was going to be the best choice, so he started to pray and ask God.
The next day, Edmund woke up early to prepare to school.
When Edmund arrived home, he told his mom about the scout man named Pablo and the offer of going to play in Spain for the team Barcelona. At first, his mom scream of the happiness but when she realize that his son was sad, she ask him what was happening.
“I’m 18 and you know that I need to go to a mission”, said Edmund.
“I don’t know what to say son, but you know that first comes God and then comes all the other things in life.” “You also know that if you choose the correct choice, God would benefit you a lot in life in many ways”, said Edmund’s mom.
“Ok mom”, said Edmund.
That entire day, Edmund prayed a lot and asked God what was going to be the correct choice for him.
Tuesday, God heard Edmund’s preys and he knew that going to a mission was the right answer for everything. Later that day, Pablo call and Edmund answered again.
“Hey kid, sorry that I couldn’t call yesterday because I had some problems in work but it doesn’t matter.” “Do you already decide to became the next Messi?” Said Pablo.
“I really can’t do this right now because I need to go to a mission firsthand, and I don’t really think that you would wait 2 years so that I can play for you” said Edmund.
“You are crazy kid, what are you thinking, mmmmmmmm, never mind kid.” “Bye”, said Pablo.
2 YEARS LATER
“! Edmund, Edmund, I’m so happy that you already here from your mission in England.” “Ohh my son, I love you so much” said Edmund’s mom.
“I love you too mom and I’m very happy to be here with you”, said Edmund.
7 YEARS LATER
Edmund now had 27 years with a wonderful wife and 3 sons. He has a perfect work and now he runs a company of restaurants all over the world and he is very rich.
Map testing
In the past week, we had Map testing in our school. This test consists to find out our measure of academical levels in 3 courses. Math, Reading and language. In my opinion, I think that Map testing is a waste of time for students. It is boring to stay like 1 hour in a chair and only answering question. I prefer that it would be better to do an SATs because you can concentrate more. Map Testing helps teachers to know in what level their students are so that they could learn more and easier. I like Map testing a little bit, because we can miss classes that we don't like :). I don't care a lot for my scores because it doesn't affect my grade at all but I think that they were normal, OK.

This spring break vacations I went to Careyes and to Mascota but I didn’t
stayed many days but the few days I stayed, I enjoyed it the most. In this
essay I’m going to write about this two places.
First I went to Mascota. Mascota is a little town with a very Mexican style
and it is a very old town. Mascota has a lot of history and a lot of good food
to eat. I stayed in a little hotel that was along time ago a house. The same
day we arrived, we eat in a wonderful restaurant that didn’t have a lot of
variety of food but the few food they offered us was very good. In the night,
we went to the placita and I eat a elote with limon and chile. After that, my
sisters, cousins and I went to the trampolin and it was very fun.
The second day, we stayed all day in Mascota. We woke up and we eat a
delicious break fast in the hotel. Then we went to walk to know the place
better. When we were walking, we saw many stores of many kinds of food and
Mexican candy. My mom, my ant and I were crazy because we love to eat ,so we
buy many things. We buy bread, cookies, Mexican candy, tortillas made by hand,
Capomo Coffee (this coffee doesn’t have caffeine), and we buy some guaraches
made from the cow’s skin. We walked from one side to another of Mascota so I
was very tier. In the night we buy 2 pirate movies for 50 pesos and we saw it
in the room. Later, we eat dinner in the hotel. I like it a lot. The meat was
very soft and sweet, and the salad was very fresh.
The last day was the one I like the most because we went in the four wheel
motor except my uncles, they went on car. Our trip consisted on first arriving
to Navidad that is a small town, then arrive to Juanacatlan because my dad
order 150 tamales from a lady that lives there, so we went to pick them up.
Then, arrivingto CierraLago, that is a big hotel in the top of the mountains
and we were going to stayed there to eat. The next town was going to be
Mascota. I really like the trip because we were driving in the mountains, with
our equipment etc. We could taste all the wonderful food that Navidad has like
the Paletas that they make. I eat like 4 of them . In Cierra Lago , we played
soccer and the food was delicious . They gave us meet (again) and choriso,
cebollita, quesadillas, and tortillas made by hand. In the way back, my dad
and I were racing and he bit me . Finally, when we arrived to Mascota, we
picked our stuff from the hotel and we went home.
When I went to Careyes, I get a lot of fun because it is a hotel in the
beach. The hotel is so beautiful and it looks like a paradise with a big,
fresh pool and a lot of vegetation. I stayed on room 11. I also went with my
uncles and my cousins. The day we arrived, we went directly to the pool and
then to the ocean. In the beach, I collected many little shells for my sister
Julieta. The food was very good. I eat ceviche that day, jummy. In the night
we eat dinner in the hotel. I only eat a cereal with banana. The next day we
went to the pool and the beach again. We did the same things we did the day we
arrived. In the end we went home.
In these two places I went, I eat a lot and I get a lot of fun with my
sisters and my cousins. This spring break was awesome .

Theirs many things you can do without using electricity like for example doing an exercise. This would help your body. Go run outside or go on bike with a friend. You can go to the gym or if you have a pool, go swimming. It would benefit you by making you stronger, healthy and more attractive to girls. hahahahah :):).
Another thing you can do is by making things that would help you to be more intelligent like by reading some books, doing HW, reading magazines. If you do all this, you would have more time to do things you like.
The last example of what you can do is seeing a book with photos of your friends and family to remember the good times. Also you can invite some friends and play a a board game. :):):):):)

Part 4:
Today many people has msn, Facebook, myspace etc, and they use it a lot for communicating with other people. When people post things on their profiles, many people but especially friends can see these posts. Some times, it can be very dangerous when other people that you don’t know see what you put on you profile and can heart you. Some people think that when they post their profile, the only persons that are going to see it would be their friends but they are wrong so in the future, be caution of what things you are pudding.
Part two:
Today, a student in all over the world uses Internet to help them to cheat in their assignments and in homework. An example of a web that many people knows it and use it for cheating in their homework is called sparks.com. In my opinion, there are no types for cheating. The word cheating means doing a type of work but that it is not from you and it is from another person. Cheating is in everywhere, in schools, homes, jobs and in any type of games but if you want to be a better person in any aspect, you need to take a decision of not cheating.
Part one:
The purpose to producing this film was because parents of many teenagers were worried about their sons when they were using the internet and the computer. It is not only about using the computer or the internet, it is the danger that every person (teenager) has because there are a lots of predators that can heart them. The people that we hear in the program are parents, teachers, and persons that worked in universities. This entire people are in the video because they all interact with teenagers for example some in their houses or at school.

Growing up online part 2
Cheating is a bad thing to do and everybody knows that. In some places like in schools, is not allow that kind of things but some peoples doesn’t care that and they steal do it. He should feel guilty of doing that because he didn’t fallow directions from his teacher of reading the entire book by himself. He should be ashamed of his self by doing that. It is also a stupid thing to do because by reading the entire book by your self, you learn more spelling words and you would get better on reading things in any type of language.

Growing up online
The characteristics that make a computer different from other media in the home, such as television, videogames, stereo/radio, magazines and books is that in your computer, you can chat with another person and do whatever you like. Some video games are being made like a computer like the XBox Live and you can also chat with your friends. Counting all the laptops in my home are 3. I have a Mac in my room. The computer at my house is use for many purposes and some examples are for doing HW, watching videos, chat on MSN and in Face Book. The entire family uses the computer because it is a very important way to obtain information and to entertain. The computer is use a lot but especially my dad and me. My dad because of his work and me because of the HW etc. The computer is very different from other sources.

In winter vacations I stay here in PV with all my family. In this essay I'm going to ride about what I did in Noche Buena, Christmas, and New Year.
In Noche Buena, I was in my house and we didn't do nothing and for me, it was like a normal day. I remember when I was younger and in Noche buena the only thing I was thinking about was that the next day was going to be christmas and I was going to get many presents. Now because I'm older, It didn't feel like that. I play almost all day basketball and I went to the gym.
In Christmas my mom and some ants came to my house and prepair all the food for the christmas party and I help them a little bit. I was all day practising guitar because I was going to play and sing at the same time in the party with my sister Sariah and some cousins. After that, I stayed all day watching TV with my sisters until it was time for the party. Like at 7:30, I went to dress up and at 8:30 the party was starting with everybody outside. The party end up at 4:30 am and I slept in my sister's room so I can hear them screaming that santa claus had leave them many presents because I love to hear that. Santa brough me a X box with 2 video games and I stayed all day playing them.
In New Year, first we were going to stay at our house alone but then, my mom's friend invite us to her house to eat and to celebrate New Year. Her name was Naira and it didn't get a lot of fun. We ate pizza and we saw the fire works and it was very cool. We stay over there until 3:30 am and I was very boring. We only talk and talk about stupid stuff. In the end, we went to our house and finally, we slept.
