I Pads

Most people would say their iPad keeps them organized and productive or entertained and informed, but we all know what everyone does when the teacher isn’t looking; play games. IPads are definitely a huge distraction.

Don’t get me wrong– I love having iPads– but I have to admit they are a huge temptation. Say you’re working on a project, with your iPad right I front of you. Suddenly, you notice the teacher isn’t looking, ” Just one game…” you think to yourself, “she’s won’t notice…just 5 minutes.” Next thing you know you spent 45 minutes trying to beat your high score on Flappy Bird and now have a whole project to do for homework. The temptation took over you.

Also, sometimes, when the screen is black, you start to look at yourself. ” Man I’m really having a bad hair-day…” you think as you start to wonder off, “maybe I can’t just…” Next thing you know you are totally zoned out trying to fix your hair.

Even though iPads are a neat thing to have, to be honest, they are definitely the most distracting thing I have ever had in school.

Memories

Last week in eanglish we have talked about our memories for an essay. We wrote down some of our past memories and talked to our classmates to remember more. Thinking about past memories really made me remember things I had compleat lay forgot about, which was interesting. I really liked talking about my memories with
the class.

The Giver

This week we finished with the book “The Giver”. I think this book had a really confusing yet interesting ending. The author leaves a cliff hanger, never explaining what happened to him. Did he die? Was he able to make it into the other communities? What happened to Gabriel? Although she left the book at a point where it was very confusing, I think the mystery in it made it interesting. This book was overall a great and unique story that I would defiantly recommend.
