I think that the capital punishment is good because the murders who kill people cant be around other people because they are not trusted & they could kidnapp someone else & kill them just like they did before. The victims family members are going to want the suspect to get killed because if the murder kills someone the 1OO% sure they're going to get killed, because they got no reason to kill them but capital punishment do. The capital punishment has the reason to tell the murder if he is getting killed or not but the murder doesnt hav e a reason to kill the victim when he or she didnrt do nothing to them. I think that if capital punishment didnt 12/1/11 TeachingPoint: Writers know how to begin writing.
I just can’t wait till it is New Year! I want it to be 2012 because I want to feel how the year will change & I want to be with my family in Manhattan in Rockefeller center. Every new Year my family from Manhattan & my parents & cousin we all go there to ice-skating. I really have fun falling down because it’s funny then all of my aunts, uncles, cousins, brother, sister, & my parents take pictures where the big tree is. The big Christmas tree is very important to the people in Manhattan.
I agree with death penalty because the one who committed a crime of murdering, someone should be killed because they killed someone who was important to him or her family. Death penalty is good for the person who committed the crime because they killed someone because their family is very sad that they are gone so the suspect should be punished & see what they do to the person for murdering them. That’s why I agree with Death penalty.

Non Fiction: is a book article or other piece of writing with information about a true real world events. Its purpose is to inform or teach something. Some articles have a lesson that can be inferred from the text.
Writers pre-write on a topic in order to capture what they know and believe. 1. What do i know about the topic (capital punishment)
2. What do i think about the topic?
3. Why do i think of it? (supporting the answer to last question)
What i know about capital punishment is that it is for suspects that had commitited a crime. And it is their punishment for what they did. I think that it is fair for the suspects because they had taken a life from someone and now the police have to give them a capital punishment and it is fair for the victims family to know what they are going to do to the suspect. In the Video "Bones" it had showed that a guy had been accuses that he had murderd 3 females. As the police were investigating they had found many clue to who the suspect was and what did he do to his 3 female victimns.

10~20~11 How does (detail) prove the (idea)?
10~19~11 TeachingPont: Writers practice explaining things. (PART 2) How does the fact that she wrote in her diary make her free? Anne Frank was free because she is able to write in her diary about her life and what is happening. She feels that she is free because she writed on her diary and she wrote about the GERMANS that they were making her do stuff that werent fair for them and being forced.Anne had a friend name kitty, that friend was her diary. In the attic where she is, she could pretend her friend kitty was with her. She was free to write her thoughts in her diary. Anne is the only one who can write on her diary no one else but her. 10~19~11 TeachingPoint: Writers practice explaining things. Do Now: What are 5 parts of a response. -A summary -The main idea -Details from the text -An explaination of details -A summary sentence to repeat the main idea Anne Frank was not free. Because the jews were forced to wear yellow stars. The jews are being forced to follow the Germans rules. Freedom is able to do what ever you want, are not being forced to do nothing, you are not being forrbbiden to do nothing, 10~14~11 The Gift of Reason The story Rufus was about a useful hunting dog who helped his master find and catch the pray while the summer heat spell until a summer heat spell when Rufus discoverd air conditioning and he became lazy. He stayed in a room that had air condition and layed in a comfortable chair. After discovering the air conditioning Rufus refused to obey his master's orders and stopped hunting. The author was correct when he said that he lost Rufus as a useful hunting dog 10~12~11 The story "The Sniper" was a good mysterious story. The writer put lots of good details and describe the character. The author included a good setting and it made me feel like I was in that place watching everything. At the end of the story it was so shocking because the guy who was wearing all black had shot his own brother. The old lady told the guys brother where he was and the guy saw and shot his own brother. The bullet got stuck into his fore arm. He had put his ladine on his fore arm and placed a cotton wadding over the wound and wrapped it. This is my best response because i included some details from the story. I dont got sophisticated vocabulary.
I give my whole class work a 83 because I put in details from the story into my paragraph and thoughts. In some of the paragraphs i wrote has a few deatails from the story. I put a few sentences from the story into my paragraphs. I was missing information.
10~5~11 I think that Mr and Mrs.Ault had a bad relationship because they had punish her daughter with a punishment she didnt agree with that. I know how Linda felt of her punishment and Linda didnt want to take a life as her punishment. Linda's dog ment everything to her.
10~3~11 In this story ''Parents'' Linda had sacrafise her own life for her dog. Linda had shot her self and I think she did this because I think she had bin suffering by her parents punishments so she gave up her life. And she knew that her killing her dog wasnt going to happen and why give up a life as her punishment. What I think about Linda's parents is that they make the wrong punishments. It was so horrible when Linda had shot her self.
9~27~11 Anne is not free because they emigrated her family to Holland in 1933. The jews must wear a yellow star, hand in there bicycles, the jews are banned from trains and are forbidden to drive. ''if we can save someone, then everything else is of secondary importance'' (Frank). The jews are only allowed to do their shopping between three and five o'clock. They are forbbidden to visit theaters. And they had to be forced be at home after eight o'clock the Germanys dont let them play any type of sports. They have to take orders by force. Anne has to share rooms with a stranger and share her stuff with the stranger. It is not fair because she dont even know that stranger and if dont feel right. While she is home she cannot make no noises during the day. She cant go out side, and she cant have no fun outside cant play outside because bad stuff are happening and it is dangerous. Also the Germans are looking for any jews inside any house, and if they find a jew inside the house the whole family gets kicked out and move to another house. Anne feels bad for her dearest friends have been knocked down or have fallen into a gutter somewhere out in the cold night, while she is at home sleeping in a warm bed. She shares her stuff with the stranger. It is not fair because she dont even know that stranger and if dont feel right. While she is home she cannot make no noises during the day. She cant go out side, and she cant have no fun outside cant play outside because bad stuff are happening and it is dangerous. Also the Germans are looking for any jews inside any house, and if they find a jew inside the house the whole family gets kicked out and move to another house. Anne feels bad for her dearest friends have been knocked down or have fallen into a gutter somewhere out in the cold night, while she is at home sleeping in a warm bed.
This story ''The Sniper'' reminds me of a movie i saw. It was a about a guy who joined the team on a mission and his grandfather was inthe bad side who he was going to war. But when the bullet shot it shot on his grandfathers chest because his boss pushed him and shot it. She shares her stuff with the stranger. It is not fair because she dont even know that stranger and if dont feel right. While she is home she cannot make no noises during the day. She cant go out side, and she cant have no fun outside cant play outside. 9~22~11 Anne has no friends to talk about her life and what happens to her. And she is only telling everything to her diary. She had name her diary kitty as her friend. Anne has strings of boyfriend. Anne was lucky that they didnt take her family away because she was in the right place. Anne's family was emigrated to Holland in 1933. The Jews werent wanted there. The Jews could not do what the rest of them do and it wasnt fair for them. They couldnt do a bunch of stuff. My opinion is that it wasnt fair for the jews to go threw this and live this way while others engjoy there life with a lot of fun. In the text Anne was imagining her self laying in a warm bed while her dearest friends have been knocked down or have fallen into a gutter somewhere out in the cold night.

I think that the capital punishment is good because the murders who kill people cant be around other people because they are not trusted & they could kidnapp someone else & kill them just like they did before. The victims family members are going to want the suspect to get killed because if the murder kills someone the 1OO% sure they're going to get killed, because they got no reason to kill them but capital punishment do. The capital punishment has the reason to tell the murder if he is getting killed or not but the murder doesnt hav e a reason to kill the victim when he or she didnrt do nothing to them. I think that if capital punishment didnt

TeachingPoint: Writers know how to begin writing.
I just can’t wait till it is New Year! I want it to be 2012 because I want to feel how the year will change & I want to be with my family in Manhattan in Rockefeller center. Every new Year my family from Manhattan & my parents & cousin we all go there to ice-skating. I really have fun falling down because it’s funny then all of my aunts, uncles, cousins, brother, sister, & my parents take pictures where the big tree is. The big Christmas tree is very important to the people in Manhattan.
I agree with death penalty because the one who committed a crime of murdering, someone should be killed because they killed someone who was important to him or her family. Death penalty is good for the person who committed the crime because they killed someone because their family is very sad that they are gone so the suspect should be punished & see what they do to the person for murdering them. That’s why I agree with Death penalty.

Writers pre-write on a topic in order to capture what they know and believe.
1. What do i know about the topic (capital punishment)
2. What do i think about the topic?
3. Why do i think of it? (supporting the answer to last question)
What i know about capital punishment is that it is for suspects that had commitited a crime. And it is their punishment for what they did. I think that it is fair for the suspects because they had taken a life from someone and now the police have to give them a capital punishment and it is fair for the victims family to know what they are going to do to the suspect. In the Video "Bones" it had showed that a guy had been accuses that he had murderd 3 females. As the police were investigating they had found many clue to who the suspect was and what did he do to his 3 female victimns.

The story "The Sniper" was a good mysterious story. The writer put lots of good details and describe the character. The author included a good setting and it made me feel like I was in that place watching everything. At the end of the story it was so shocking because the guy who was wearing all black had shot his own brother. The old lady told the guys brother where he was and the guy saw and shot his own brother. The bullet got stuck into his fore arm. He had put his ladine on his fore arm and placed a cotton wadding over the wound and wrapped it.
This is my best response because i included some details from the story. I dont got sophisticated vocabulary.

10~3~11
In this story ''Parents'' Linda had sacrafise her own life for her dog. Linda had shot her self and I think she did this because I think she had bin suffering by her parents punishments so she gave up her life. And she knew that her killing her dog wasnt going to happen and why give up a life as her punishment. What I think about Linda's parents is that they make the wrong punishments. It was so horrible when Linda had shot her self.

''if we can save someone, then everything else is of secondary importance'' (Frank). The jews are only allowed to do their shopping between three and five o'clock. They are forbbidden to visit theaters. And they had to be forced be at home after eight o'clock the Germanys dont let them play any type of sports. They have to take orders by force. Anne has to share rooms with a stranger and share her stuff with the stranger. It is not fair because she dont even know that stranger and if dont feel right. While she is home she cannot make no noises during the day. She cant go out side, and she cant have no fun outside cant play outside because bad stuff are happening and it is dangerous. Also the Germans are looking for any jews inside any house, and if they find a jew inside the house the whole family gets kicked out and move to another house. Anne feels bad for her dearest friends have been knocked down or have fallen into a gutter somewhere out in the cold night, while she is at home sleeping in a warm bed.

But when the bullet shot it shot on his grandfathers chest because his boss pushed him and shot it. She shares her stuff with the stranger.

Anne has no friends to talk about her life and what happens to her. And she is only telling everything to her diary. She had name her diary kitty as her friend. Anne has strings of boyfriend. Anne was lucky that they didnt take her family away because she was in the right place. Anne's family was emigrated to Holland in 1933. The Jews werent wanted there. The Jews could not do what the rest of them do and it wasnt fair for them. They couldnt do a bunch of stuff. My opinion is that it wasnt fair for the jews to go threw this and live this way while others engjoy there life with a lot of fun. In the text Anne was imagining her self laying in a warm bed while her dearest friends have been knocked down or have fallen into a gutter somewhere out in the cold night.
