Hi everyone. On Friday, Miss Pollock brought 18 students to a conference (including me) called "Make It Happen". It was a real eye opener. We learnt how to fun raise for our community, school and other places in the world. I've chosen to fun raise for World Vision. On the weekend I was With my family for our Christmas Reunion. around dinner, I decided to pull out the world vision catalogue. i told them about the field trip what i was doing it for and what i wanted to do. at the end of the night i got $ 350.00!!!
I'm planing on restoring 2 child solders because my cousin is currently in Afghanistan. Along with that i will most likely be getting clothes for a whole village!!! I hope You will follow in my foot steps and help a child in need.

things that you are looking forward to learning, developing or using in your poetry over the course of our Slam workshops.
- hope to learn how to make it sound more like a poem. Putting a rhythm into my poetry.
- I'm looking forward to hearing more and more, poems from Greg and Beth.
- I hope to develop more meaning full poems, topics that are more real.
2. things that Greg or Beth Anne reinforced that we have already been doing in class, or you are already using in class.
- They taught me/ showed me that alot of the things you write about are real.
-every piece of writing is a poem.

Letters to Loved Ones Back Home
My dear love Jenna,
My dear, I'm missing you terribly. I miss your tremendous loving hugs that embrace me everyday. The only thing that is embracing me, is the mud and the smoke from the cigarettes in the trenches. I've gotten trench foot far to many times to count. At times I wish I never singed for this horrifying job. but who's going to pay the bills. Being a journalist is horrible. I thought i would just have to write, but no. I have to carry around a gun! A gun that resembles why I'm here. We have been taking buckets to the trenches to get at least some of the cold water out of the deep trenches. Alas nothing works. Every time we dunk the bucket into the trench and toss it up the sides, two times the bucket of water comes back in. Hows mother? And father? what about my loving siblings?
Has Jounior been askign about me? I dont want him to worry. I just want to let him know that I'm so proud of him for being so brave for me, you too my love.
well the genral is asking me to write another entry for our log. I most be going. I miss you tremendously.
Your love ,
William Turner.

History 3,2,1.
on Friday we went on a field trip to the museum of civilization and Miss Pollock asked us to do a 3,2,1.
3. Specific things you enjoyed overall.
- I liked how the actors really made it seem real.
-And how at the end they took time to let us look around.
- Especially how they pick on some of the people in our class. (Mateen)
2.Important things you learned.
- I learnt that many men died just by drowning.
-I also learnt that alot of first people that lived in the Artic had to survive manly on whales.
1. Thing that you would've changed.
- I would've changed how the afternoon went. I wish they made it more exciting and make us really excited to learn.
Also wanted to say thanks to Miss Pollock for booking the field trip.
