Hi this is Alexander Currently in English 10 we are reading **//"Twelfth night",//** playing word games such as //SCRABBLE, AND WORD UP,// and discussing the possibility of two or three book clubs. Since **//"Twelfth Night"//** was written by Shakespeare and Shakespeare used what is called iambic pentameter, which is when each line has 5 stressed (or exciting or more vibrant) lines and 5 unstressed(or not as exciting or vibrant) lines, and when the first line rhymes with the third line and the second with the forth and so on. Our class has been thinking about the idea of doing a or multiple book clubs for the past couple of weeks now and if we do decide to do any book clubs, we have 3 books to choose from. **1.** is **//"The Hunger Games"//** series **2.** is //**"The Eagle of the Ninth"**// and **3.** is **//"The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit".//** For the past two days we have been playing word games in class, a couple of these games include, //WORD UP//, //SCRABBLE//, and //HIKUBES//. The idea behind //WORD UP// and //SCRABBLE// are to create new words off of already existing words, except in //WORD UP// you can put later tiles on top of other letters to change a word were as in //SCRABBLE// you have to keep all tiles at the same level.

Hello this is Alex posting for Grant because he does not have access to the internet.

My group is Katharine, Ryan, Mikey, and David are reading the Hobit. So far we have only read the first chapter so I can not tell you a lot about. What I can tell you however is that Biblo finds himself being drafted on a great adventure by Galdof and a bunch of dwarves. The task is to kill a dragon and get back the stolen gold. The rest of the book sounds exciting, and I wonder how this will change Biblo's life forever.
