My favorite rapper

My favorite kind of rapper is the New Boys. The reason why I like them is because they have some good music and they have some nice beats to some of their music. The song that I like the most is”You’re a Jerk”. That has to be one of my favorite songs. The reason why it is my favorite song is because of the words in the song and the beat of the song. The New Boys were out on CD in April, 12, 2008. The reason why I like their songs is because they are good singers and they have good voices. When the New Boys sing they are talking to their friends on their cell phones and they are talking to one of their girl friends and they are in a fight. They just became famous in just 2009. I don’t think they are popular any more but I still listen to them.

first semester portfolio- peice id like to revise

The genre of the piece that I want to revise is my haiku. The poem is about pie and thanksgiving. The idea came out because it was thanksgiving time. Instead of pumkin pie, I would like to change it to apple pie.

Thanksgiving by: Tanner S.

Thanksgiving is here.
I can smell the pumkin pie.
Yummy, pie is good.

first semester portfolio-my favorite piece

The genre of my favorite piece is a cause and effect paper. It is about my mom and dad getting divorced and what the cause and effects of it is. It is my favorite piece because it is probably the hardest story I have ever worked on. The idea just came to me when I was in English class talking to Mr. Weier.


Mom and Dad Getting Divorced

Divorce is hard, and it makes for a lot of changes. Having my mom, brother, and sister live in Sturgis. Costs us a lot of money and time. I also miss them a lot. We are forced to drive 5 hours to go see them. It cost a lot of money for a ford f150 truck to drive over 300 miles. It costs over $100 in gas each time I want to see my mom, brother, and sister. Since we also have to pay for oil changes and food, there is another hundred dollars that we have to spend.

Not seeing my family in a long time hurts me. Because I only get to see my brother and sister and mom on the holidays, and in the summer time! Not waking up to my mom’s cooking stinks. Because she used to make me and my brother and sister muffins! Fresh out of the oven for breakfast before we went to school! Not seeing my whole family at the dinner table eating like a family stinks. I like to have a family conversation about what I did in school! I just miss my mom and my brother and sister. I can’t wait to see then on my Christmas break. All in all I think after all these years my parents would move closer, because I don’t like to drive over 6 hours just to see my family. I like it when I am at my mom’s house because my mom lives in Sturgis and her mom and dad and her brother and sister live in Rapid City. That is like an hour away. I would like it if she would move closer to me. Or we would move closer to her.

first semester reflection

What built me up in 7th grade was….. I learned a lot in 7th grade I learned what an AWUBIS was. I learned how to use an AWUBIS in a sentence. I think my writing is better because I did not know how to write a magic 3 but now I know how to. I learned how to write a sentence on imagery and how to talk in a sentence in imagery.

What I learned about myself was that I did not know how to pay attention. But in the second semester I learned to put everything away from me and then not play with anything. I learned to put myself aside and then I won’t get distracted. I think it is working because I have not get an infraction since the beginning of the semester.

What made me successful is in the second semester. What I did to make me successful was to put everything in my bag so I did not get an infraction or have to use a hall pass. One other thing that made me successful was to go to the bathroom before classed. So I did not have to use a hall pass or waste time in class.
