Just keep pressing 'continue' until you get to the game). I am so impressed by how concentrated you have all been the last two days while writing your three to five paragraph essays on your Persecution theme (hope, courage, and power of family). Why do you think that is? Is it that you have written an essay before and know what to do? Is it that the topic is so interesting? Leave a comment about it. |

Maybe because it is the end of the year and everyone wants to get over the work and finish it or just try to work hard for their final grades. Those things are why I am working so hard and is very concentrated. I am almost finished but I am pretty sure my essay is good because my paragraphs are some what descriptive and long. Oh, I got my wires and elastics change today. I got teal. Bye!😜

I find the topic very interesting and my theme, Power of Family, is really special to me. I love my family very much, and all the parts of the essay that say 'your thoughts and feelings about the theme', 'your reaction', 'your new understanding' are very meaningful to me not only because persecution is a crisis but because I get to write about family. This is why I'm working very hard on my essay. I also guess it looks like we are working hard because we've done this before and are used to the quantity of the work by now, or because it's almost the end of the year and we want to end it with an excellent mark. Good luck to everyone on their essays. Okay, bye!

I think it's because we have done one before so almost all of us know what to do and how to do it. And because it's almost the end of the year and I'm excited for summer! Bye, see everyone tomorrow!

Maybe because this is are last essay we get to do this term and maybe we just want to get it over with so we can just hand it in and forget about it and hope we did good. This may be why but I'm not sure. Well, bye!

The reason I'm being so quiet is because I want to do way better that my last 3-5 paragraph essay, because I didn't do very well on that last one. See you all tomorrow.

I'm so concentrated on my essay is because once I get rolling as in I'm liking the ideas I'm choosing or the sentences are coming along great then I go into a totally quiet world. It's kind of like I'm so focused on using this productiveness that I have acquired before its time to put away the computers. Also I know what to do and I'm going to finish my essay and be able to edit it early before its due. See you all tomorrow :)

I was working really hard because I want to do better on this essay. Last time my writing wasn't the greatest. My topic is hope, and I first started looking at The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, but that novel doesn't have much hope in it, so I started writing about The Devil's Arithmetic. I'm also working much harder because I know what we're supposed to do.

I think the reason why we're working hard and being quite is because we have already done one and also because we want to do better in term 3 than term 2. I find the topic more interesting and easier because I have already done a 3-5 paragraph essay, but only when I read one book which was a picture book, but this time I read 2 books that are acutely novels.

I think those two are all right. It's because we did similar 5 paragraph essay last time, and also the topic is much more interesting to me than writing a essay on a picture book. Maybe also, it's because picture books doesn't have that much things written on, but the persecution novels are at least 100 pages so, we have more things to think about and write about.

I think that is because we all really enjoyed these books and that we just want to get all our thoughts out on the table meaning the paragraphs. Yea I think it is that too that we just know what to do so it is easier. And yes defiantly the topic is so interesting.

Well for me it's because I love this topic and I want to talk about how I feel about my theme. I'm having fun trying to figure out what I want to say. It also might be because we know what to expect because we've done this before.

I think everyone is so focused on it because they want to finish it and do it well. It also might have to do with writing a essay before and the topic being interesting.

I think everyone is so focused on the 3-5 paragraph essay because the topic is so interesting and that we all know a lot about it so it is easy for us to write so much about this topic.
