My Genius Hour Project

My genius hour project is on the topic of books. I chose this topic when I found a literacy magazine made by the Grade 8 class in 2014.      I decided that I wanted  to make one of those for my class. I have to research publishing companies, and what makes a good story. I also wanted to in]corporate hebrew and french. I started to make a book cover. I need to actually make the book after.

My Idiom

This is a bookworm! It literally means a worm that likes books. It figuratively means someone that likes books. I chose this idiom because some people call me a bookworm. I think that I don’t have to tell you that I am not a worm that likes books. I think that people who read books should just be called people who read books. I also think that I don’t have to tell you that worms don’t read books, so where does that saying come from? I looked it up and here is what it said:  The origin of the idiom “bookworm” probably originated as a somewhat derogatory term for a person who studied or read more than was usual. Bugs such as silverfish, book lice, and linoleum beetles were referred to as bookworms because they inhabited books; thus the idiom. This piece of information is from https://www.gingersoftware.com. That is all for now! (P.S. sorry for my lack of skill in art.)

The Red Pyramid ( My book review)

The Red Pyramid is the first of three in the Kane Chronicles series. The other two are The Throne of Fire and The Serpent’s Shadow.The Red Pyramid is about the Kane siblings  Carter and Sadie. After their father Dr. Julius Kane broke the Rosetta Stone and got the god Osiris to merge bodies with him, the children have been on the run. They also merge bodies, Carter with Horus and Sadie with Isis. They seek refuge in the house of life, (A place for magiciens, which Carter and Sadie were.) they are now hunted by far worse things than they could ever have imagined, all under the evil Set’s ( Another god) command. I don’t want to spoil any more so as Sadie would say… ta ta for now!

Music

Music is something that can influence your mood. I don’t think that we really understand how hard it is to write a song. I tried to write one but I don’t really have anything to write about. I think every song has a story. Even if the story is not true, it gives the artist some thing to write about. Most times the person who sings the song does not write the song. I would be fine with that except they take all of the credit. Music comes in many different ways, for example: you could hear it on the radio, you could also hear it in live concerts and in restaurants. You could also here music at sports games. Music also comes in many different forms, for example: Rock, pop, jazz, ext. What is your favorite type of music? I hoped that you learned something about music.

The Pirate, the Princess, and Me, The Rat

The Pirate, the Princess, and Me, The Rat is a short story by Linda Bailey. I think that this story is fiction. I think that this story is fiction because well.. Have you ever seen a dancing rat? Or maybe a little rat sunscreen? I think not. But, rats do live in docks, and pirates definitely smell bad. Also as the author says, nobody likes a rat. Even though it has a few non fiction elements even one fiction element made it a fiction story. In the story the rat and the princess had a friendship but, at the end of the story she leaves him on the dock. How would that make you feel? The rat was happy at the end of the story because he knew that his princess was out there somewhere.
