Creating Frankenstein Graphic Essays

Here are some of the essay posters that we completed in 4th period. I liked doing this better than just writing as essay so those of you who missed the assignment, you won't mind making this one up.  You need to find at least 10 images/words from the paper that "speak to the theme and plot events" of Frankenstein. 
Deuces, 
Me.

Taylor's Notes Part 2

5:56am- Sorry everybody..the time zone on this iPad is wrong. Since it is wrong, I will be disabling myself from telling when every activity and what so ever is happening..

7:58am- Okay, well..ummm...nevermind then, looks like the time zone is just 2hours late.

8:00am- CNN: Iceland has volcanos? I always thought Iceland was just a pile of mountains and ice! Iceland is said to have the most volcanic activity since it is a massive hotspot. This volcanic activity been going on for months now..wow, looks like more and more land will be created for Iceland then! The volcano in Iceland that is doing the most activity at the moment is Le Bardabunga Volcano. Its the largest volcanic system in Iceland. This volcanic activity is sending dense nasty smells across the perimeters of Iceland.. full of gas.

8:07am- Yet again, as always, ISIS is still having wars..same with Syria and Syrian..and now Iraq is getting more involved with this war. Afganistan have been between this for 13years. Wow, and areas in their country are still standing?!
A solar storm knocked out satalites for 12hours?! When did the sun start sending out solar flares(Geomagnetic Storms)?! This is really weird..who knew the sun could shut off the Earths electronic systems way out in space.

8:10am- Big Data sounds like a real hard thing to keep up with, they know everything..they know whats going on for everything you do on every site. Now thats what I call "Stalking".
Finally for CNN, there was these seals(who I did not really pay attention to)who was happy to go into water. All I did was hear that they was so happy to go into the water that they literally jumped into it.

8:16am- Ms. Burton is continuing with the thing her students was doing yesterday. They are now doing new groups and different things - things they did not get to get to on Friday. I wonder what they are doing..I will never know? Well, nevermind, I looked at it, it looks very confusing and hard. I don't think I like the look of that, haha. 

8:20am- Ms. Burton tells this boy (I forgot his name) to turn on the lights because she could not see in the darkness. I like it better when the lights was off.. >:(
Okay, now Ms. Burton is showing Shelby something on the iPad. I am not sure what, but I think it is something about how to get the documentary back up on the screen..

8:23am- (Overheard) Some boy is copying someone else work because he complains he did not get it from Friday. (Overhears) Zachary has nothing to do, even though he probably has work straight up in his face on his desk from Friday.

8:27am- Ms. Burton yells "ROBERT, SIT". Question is, who is this Robert guy exactly? Not trying to be mean, but I just do not know Robert, or I think I do..after that, Shelby gets up and continues to show Ms. Burton things about what? I see papers, thats all, but what about?? Okay..she turned in some papers, and she got a Green Folder in return!? I need to turn in papers so I can get a free Green Folder in return too, but later..not now, heheh..

8:32am- (Overhears) I know what some group"s assignment is now..they have to write a paragraph about a Rainbow?! LOL, now how ridicules is that? Seriously, a paragraph...about a rainbow? Really, who makes a paragraph about a rainbow?! xD Lmao..

8:36am- Guy and Ms. Burton discusses the group activity they have to do..at least someone in the group behind me asked a question about their group activity..unlike some people..not saying names!

8:38am- Ms. Burton yells out "Someone giggling in a corner fooling around, and he needs to do this and that but instead, he decides to not comprehend and continues fooling around.."

8:40am- # I am really hungry, my head is starting to hurt..I should of brought some food to school, or at least a soda.

8:43am- Ms. Burton tries to attempt to record Guy and Jamel do their Group Assignment, but the recording comes out with a slight error, it sounds like a robot talking. It is like "buicbrvcniuncfoeuv8fblvf" I can not understand a word that recording has said, hahahah.

8:48am- (Oversees) I seen Shelby doing something with the iPad camera, probably taking pictures or etc,And also, Guy and his group is done with another of their Group Assignment. Let us hope they do not get the Rainbow Group Work next. Lmao, That would be funny. Ooh, so nevermind, they are making their own type of poster it seems now. 

8:51am- (Overhears and Oversees) Micheal finds a box of letters, he puts his hands in it and takes what he finds in their, but luckily, Ms. Burton comes along and stops him from stealing the poor letters. Good Job Ms. Burton!

8:54am- (Overhears) Another group has the Group Work about the describing the symbols now..they tried to configure with a shadow might mean.

8:58am- The Intercom calls in looking for someone that means nothing to me because I do not know that person. Also, Ms. Burton is searching the Web and going on Microsoft Word to adjust and fix things up properly.

9:02am- Someone got in trouble for messing around with some group for trying to finish their Group Work.

9:04am- Guy and his group got 3/4 of his Group Work done..he just has one left, I wonder what that last one could be about? 

9:05am- I am now done with Scribing around the class for today! Good Bye everyone!

More like 25minutes..Okay..So now we are talking about stuff from the end of the school year. We are gonna create 10 news fecial artifacts? Cnn starts..Now! Something in Scottland is going on..I heard that Scottland is going to be rich? People are isolating sick people..then isolating the people they meet up with - this is useful in ways fir smallpox and the diseases in Africa. Ebola is fighting a terrorists they can't even see. Heroin is a VERY ADDICTIVE drug,,just take the drug once and you get addicted. Like 1/4 people who try heroin becomes addicted just that quickly..if I tried heroin, I bet I wouldnt get addicted.. I can control myself from addiction, unless its a video game. But just keep the thing away from me and I will stop liking it, ;) Anyways, heroin use is rising in Louisiana?!

8:14am- I am hungry. But back to Cnn, some family heard lions in Africa. Lions in Africa are going extinct though..Nice, the Africans created a lion movement tracker- but from what?? Hahah, some basketball player that I do not know pretended to be wax and when people came by, he jumped up at them, but in favour, they could also hang out with him.

8:22am- Notice: Ms. Burton prefers a post of the day.

8:32am- Ms. Burton is just talking about miscoulaneous things that I do not know what she is talking about because it has nothing to do with me. Okay, so now I know what we are doing, we are looking at words and thinking of what the symbols mean. Guy and Ms. Burton are now reading passages. It doesnt look like anyone else is reading..ooh well, thats on them to get lost for if something important is going on. (Overheard): Rings is a symbol of marriage. (Overheard): They are reading The Lord Of the Rings? Ms. Burton is thinking of the right word to say with "Ring".

8:37am- Some girl who looks like a cheerleader comes in Ms. Burton lass for a Pass because they do not have a teacher..#I am glad I have a teacher instead of many, many substitutes. The students rotate for the second time. The first rotation I guess I missed out on.

9/10


Here is a poem and questions re: Contents of Dead Man http://rmd.me/VXnt
Compare ideas within Koch's poem to those in "Contents of a Dead man's Pocket"

You want a social life, with friends
Kenneth Koch
            You want a social life, with friends,
            A passionate love life and as well
            To work hard every day. What’s true
            Is of these three you may have two
5          And two can pay you dividends
            But never may have three.
            
There isn’t enough time, my friends—
            Though dawn begins, yet midnight ends—
            To find the time to have love, work, and friends.
10        Michelangelo had feeling
            For Vittoria and the Ceiling°
            But did he go to parties at day’s end?
            
Homer° nightly went to banquets
            Wrote all day but had no lockets
15        Bright with pictures of his Girl.
            I know one who loves and parties
            And has done so since his thirties
            But writes hardly anything at all.

women suffrage

1.The audience for womensuffrage is refering to political advisors and congressmen and its trying toconvince congressman to allow women voting rights.
2. ethos- she is someone well respected because t just anyone can go talk tocongress; logos-because other states have the right to vote so it doesnt make sence for our state to have 2 different laws against voting. 
3. Kings werent usually compared to regular people often and that was the problem, the world shouldnt be like that.
4.he says 
5. she could be refering more to logos because congress was mainly made up of men not women. it makes more sence to go after logics becuase men probably didnt care about what women thought or wanted. it buils her credibility because she backs up her reasons to support her statements.
6. she has facts and reasons to support her statements therefore builds creditability.

blake p4

Delivered November 19

The passage explains about....Woman suffrage about how the history of our nation born of revolution and the rebellion against a system of government so securely entrenched in the customs and traditions of human society that in 1776 it seemed impregnable. The taxation without representation is tyranny. So they explain how the colonists won and the nation which established as a result of their victory has held unfailingly that these two fundamental principles of democratic government are not the only the spiritual source of our national existence but have have been our chief historic pride and at all times the sheet anchor of our liberties ,What the passage is really trying to tell us is that woman have there own rights to fight against the government....they say we are fighting for the things which we have always carried nearest to our hearts: for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own government.Second the suffrage for women already established in the United States makes women suffrage for the nation inevitable , precisely the same intuition has already taught he blindest and most

English II Work, Sept 1st

Work for the Week

Tuesday and Wednesday

Read and Discuss: “Thoughts on the Present State of American Affairs” from Common Sense, Thomas Paine  and  “Address to Congress on Women’s Suffrage,” Carrie Chapman Catt
TEXT DESCRIPTION: Both texts are seminal US documents. Paine’s piece states his argument for American independence, and Catt’s speech is an address to Congress in support of women’s suffrage.

TEXT FOCUS: Both texts make effective use of logos and ethos to establish and develop their central arguments.

Thursday and Friday

Read and Discuss
“Rachel Carson’s Silent  Spring,” PBS
A Fable for Tomorrow” from Silent Spring, Rachel Carson
Speech to the Second  Virginia Convention,” Patrick Henry
TEXT DESCRIPTION: Silent Spring by Rachel Carson was written to inform people of the dangers associated with the use of pesticides and other chemicals. This excerpt describes a hypothetical town impacted by excessive chemical use, provides an overview of how the use of chemicals has expanded over time, and proposes a possible course of action. Patrick Henry’s speech presents a call to action to arm the Virginia militia to fight against the British in the American Revolution.
TEXT FOCUS: As you read the excerpt, pay special attention to how Carson develops her argument and the rhetorical devices she employs to achieve her goal. Henry’s speech addresses the topic of American colonies establishing their own country separate from Britain. Consider the occasion and audience for each of these texts and the impact on the arguments, paying special attention to each author’s appeal to pathos in addition to analyzing how each author builds credibility and appeals to logic (ethos and logos).
