There are many good examples and some old students' experience can help me to finish my ENG3U. This class is too short and I have too many tests, I hope I have good mark when I finish ENG3U and improve my English, so I have to read the website, it will be able to tell me what I should receive and how can I do better. And in this website, I can find the phones and videos on old students' novel. I will study the same novel, so their phones and videos are good information for me.====

I think Bowen's page is better because I like his words. It is very different for the other one. I always like the interesting thing or different things, except it is on too dangerous thing. For basketball, most of students like it except me. I do not think it is a bad sport, I just do not like sports...

Write three short paragraphs (around three sentences each) following these instructions:

i) Research New York in the 1920s. In **your own words** describe three ways it is different from today's world. Things you can research: alcohol, parties, fashion, women, sports, money, music. You can find other things as well. At the end of this paragraph **link** using the 'Link' button to any website you used for research.

ii) Read someone's 'Who am I?' page. Looking at their picture try to guess who it is and imagine a little story using the information on the sheet

iii) Tell the story of your scar. When you tell this story though, try to be like Nick. Lie about one small detail that i8s not important. Additionally, leave out one very big detail that is very important to the story. See how that changes it?

Also feel free to add to our New York Song List.

The most different for today's world is 1920s' sports, woman, and money. In 1920s, most people perfour to go to play a kind of ball that need to use their house rather than the football or basketball, especially the rich men, rich men always think just poorer will like to play football or basketball. And women have to stay in home, take care of their children and clean the room, they are poor because their have to do anything under their husband. Moreover, most things in 1920s are cheaper than now, the same money can buy more better things, although something that belongs to today's world is better than 1920s but it always has many bad thing for our healthy and it is very experience.

One day,Cristine felt boring so she was gong to find a new game to wast her too much time. She hid behind a wardrobe and stood on two basketballs each foot but unlucky, her long black curly hair was too long to make her see clearly the environment, she fell down and her head injured. After that day, she never stand on two basketballs, she has any other ways to wast her too much time.

I do not know if it can be called scar. My leg's cutie looks like fish because of a kind of ill. As this ill, the doctor did not tell me more information. I just know I have to be called fish girl by my cousins forever...

1) We are going to organize your reading journals using widgets and tags (watch my projector presentation)

2) For today's journal you are going to pick one character: Daisy, Jordan, Tom, Gatsby, or Nick. This is an important decision. You are most likely going to write your essay about this character (though you will have some options).

Once you have your character you are going to practice the three new jobs for today: text-to-self, text-to-text, text-to-world. (Text just means thing. This 'thing' can be a book, movie, song, poem...) i) **Text-to-self**: Think of and write a few sentences about how the character is like you. Also, describe how the character's personality is different from yours.

ii)**Text-to-text**: Find a website or a you-tube video about this **type** of person. Do not find a site about your character. Instead if your character is a killer, find a website about killers. Post the link and write some sentences explaining how this website connects to your character.

iii) **Text-to-world**: Can you think of a real person who is like your character. They do not have to be exactly the same but they should share one important attribute. For example, if my character were always telling jokes, I could connect them to my favorite comedian. Again find a website about this person, post the link, and explain the connection.

3) Lastly you will be setting up a Facebook page for your character. Please watch the projector for more information.

Tom...Tom is Daisy's husband, he is very rich, but I don't think he is richer than Gatsby. Maybe he does not love his wife because he has a lover in New York. He is a very strong man and he likes to read, but I think his some things are bad. He thinks white people are the best human, he always worries about the world will become black humans or yellow humans' world and the other humans will brake white humans. Moreover, he is proud for his rich, he hopes everyone knows his big house.So in some times, I think Tom is like me...===== http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf6zeRwk5LE Sometime I like freedom but I also like to stay in my house, like Rio's house. I know it is different for the others', but I do not want to change. And I am also proud for my house and some skills that different for other people.

I think the chicken looks like Tom because they are proud for their anything and they think they are the best... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBPXVknON-4

__Reading Journal #5:__ July14th, 2011

=
1) Continue [|reading the book] for wherever you left off last night. As you are reading you are looking for anything about Nick, Tom, Daisy, Jordan, or Gatsby that you can put onto their Facebook account (using the email/password on 3U Characters). You can either do many small things (like wall-to-wall messages, status updates, etc.) or you can focus on one big thing (make a photo album, create an event, etc.). The more details you use from the book the better.=====

=
2) On Facebook I can't see who is creating what. So in your reading journals here describe what you did on Facebook with these characters and why. This should be at least three sentences.=====

=
3) Lastly, pick one character that has interested you the most so far in this book. Think about this character and write down one question in your reading journals. Start looking through the book and thinking about **why** you find them interesting. Once you have an **idea** about why they are interesting, use that idea to write a short attention grabber in your reading journal.=====

Tom is very interesting for me. I can not imagine how he can mind two women, especially they have the same likes.

Because of my homework, last evening I had to stay in the night, so I want to sleep, my body feels tired and I feel my hard is broken. Moreover, I think my hair is too long to go to anywhere very comfortable.

Go to 3U Macbeth Links. Click on the Full Text of Macbeth.
 * Part I**.

In this on-line text, go to the scene that your group is acting out. Search through this scene until you find one example of 'shampoo' figurative language. In your reading journal quote the figurative line and then write which of the 'shampoo' it is.

Remember that any 'shampoo' line is always a more important line. That is why Shakespeare used these tricks, to highlight important ideas. So look at the quotation you have found and think about why it is important. Write two or three sentences explaining why you think this line is important in the scene. What does it show about the characters or symbolize?

For an example of how to do this look at my Reading Journal.

Some people said that the earth was restless and shook.(Shakespeare 91). This is a personification.

This line shows the fear, it is a foreshadowing and it also is P. The ground is hot and scars look likes a person. It is important for this scene because it shows what will happen in the future. The ground scars may tell readers there will happen a bad thing. After the character says this sentence, they find the king is killed in the bedroom, then Macbeth becomes the new king, all unlucky thing start for here.


 * Background: **You have to post two videos to your journals. One should be a song that you would like to use for the scene you are filming for the play. The other should be a song that fits with the scene your group is creating (talk to the writer in your group). Write a paragraph explaining why these songs work for these scenes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIuotFZnBtk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epUOoPuiyZM Macbeth kills his king, he is repentant. So in this time, he is sad, he wants to go back, I mean, go to past. I think this song can be used to show Macbeth 's feeling, especially his repentant when he kills his king. His brave has disappeared after he leaves king 's room. In the other side, the king who is killed by Macbeth is a good king, except war, he always is good for his people. All persons who live in his country love him. A good king is killed, it is bad for everyone, except Macbeth. Moreover, on our group 's thinking, Macbeth has the other chance but it also is a unlucky ending. As our shampoo, I remember it is included the speech be watches said, and then there will have a magic from watches. In that time, I want to add some pitchers that are writhed the shampoo...I hope I can success...

1) **Background**: Find one theme that appears in your group’s scene. Write it down in your journal.

You will have to do two things with this theme. The first is you have to find a video related to your theme. The video cannot be Macbeth. Put the video on your journal and write a few sentences below it explaining what it shows about your theme.

Next you have to write about your scene. How does this theme come up in your scene? Describe, using a quote from your scene, how can you bring it out using music, sound, costume, or lighting? Moreover, you have to start thinking about what this theme has changed in the play. Look back to the beginning of the play. How is the theme different there from your scene? Look at the end of the play. How does this theme change?

=
Macbeth has regimented after he kills his king, but it is a fact and it can not be changed. Although he regiment, he has to keeps going because he can not go back. He and his wife have to use any way to keep their safe after Macbeth kills his king. So they are nervous, especially when they stay in here alone. When Macbeth is killing his king, Lady Macbeth stands in here alone and asks herself:"Who is here?!" In this time, the sound should be evil, because their thinking is evil, although they are nervous, I think because of their nervous and they have to save their life, their thinking becomes more and more eviler. At first, Macbeth feels sorry for killing king, but now he does not refuse his wife to return the knife to two poor men. In our play, we have some change, for example, Macbeth has the other chance to go to past to change his mistake. I think, in our play, the theme is human's thinking. After Macbeth kills his king, he feels very sorry,in this time, there are three watches and watches can help Macbeth to go back. Because Macbeth thinks he has known his mistake and he must not kill his king again, but the human's thinking makes him decide the same ending.=====
