Personal Learning Contract

I will never give up on school. Keep doing my best until the end of the school. Ask for the teacher or partner for help. I would study to get good grades. Do every work and assignment.
I will study everyday to achieve my goal for the future. Study for a quiz or assignment. I will write note for my whole work. I would finish my work. Do an effort for anything.
I will do an effort to go to school. Teachers could take always point for been absent. A lot of Absents could be bad for our grades. We can miss a lot of work in the school.
I’ll will not be rude to anyone. I’ll will be wonderful and also caring. I’ll respect each other in school. I’m not going to fight in the school.
I will be very respectful to everyone. I’ll be always be nice. I’m going to be very cooperative, caring, and helpful.
Teachers should help student with any work that they got. So, student can be intelligent and successful. They can understand the work or quizzes. So they can get good grades.
Teachers should be nice to student and everyone. They should help the student. They should respect them. Help student understand what they are talking about. They shouldn’t be strict.
Teachers should not be abuse to student. Don’t exaggerate with homework. Don’t give a bad grade just for a mistake. They shouldn’t be mad for just a test or quiz.
Teachers should make student how to respect other. So, they can be cooperative with each other. So, later they can help each other with homework or any work. And also they can stop fighting others.
Teachers should never be lying to others. It could be a very bad thing. The headmaster could kick him or her out of the school. They can get in a serious trouble. And, the student could not believe them anymore.

The SOF/Book Review #2/Osvaldo Arbelo

U.S. Army Special Operations by Michael Green

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


The title of this book is U.S. Army Special Operations. It was writen by Micheal Green. It was published February 1st, 2000. This book was clasified as WAR. I think this book doesn't have awards. There are 48 pages in it. It doesn't have a main character but It talks about The Night Rangers. The setting of this book was about 1952 and 2000 in the U.S.



The setting of this book was about 1952 and 2000 in the U.S. The protagonist are the Rangern, Special Forces, and the Night Stalkers. The choices that the main character have to make are if soldiers can use weapon that can't be involve in the enemy's weapon. The major comflict in the story is that the soldiers believe that the SOF can becomeimportant in the future. The antagonist is the warlords.



The themes that are presented in this story are the M-16 rifle, and also the MH-60 Blackhawk. The message that author is trying to communicate is that the SOF are special soldiers that risk their lives and they to also dangerous missions that no other soldiers can perform. The help convey the author message because the character is like telling people how the soldiers from SOF are special. I think I don't disagree any desicion.They helps us better understand the message because it showing that soldiers risk their live for us.



The thing I like about the book is that they are talking about about weapons and what they do in the army. Also , how they train. I don't think that anything bothers me in this book becasue it was very interesting.



I think I support this book. Someone else can read and he/she can learn a lot of thing in this book. They can learn about what happen in WW2, and they can learn much more. I think this book for me was interesting.

Goodreads Book Review #1 - The Giver By Lois Lowry

The Giver by Lois Lowry

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


The Giver it was writen by Lois Lowry. The book was published in 1993.The book was clasified by Young adult; science fiction; fantasy; dystopia. There are 16 awards won. There are 208 pages in the book. I didn't have the time that took me because in my old school we were reading it like a group. Jonas, The Giver, Jona's father, Jona's mother, Fiona, Asher, Lily, Gabriel, Larissa, and The Chief Elder.The setting of The Giver is "the community," an isolated group cut off from the outside world, which is called, "elsewhere."



The place and time of the story is "the community" an isolated group cut off from the outside world, which is called, "elsewhere" and an unspecified time in the future. Jonas, an eleven-year-old boy who is chosen to be the new Receiver when he is twelve. Jonas’s new emotional and sensory awareness cause him to rebel against the restrictions his society places on freedom of choice, individuality, emotion, and human experience. I think there wasn't any "bad guys" for this book. Jonas, The Giver, Jona's father, Jona's mother, Fiona, Asher, Lily, Gabriel, Larissa, and The Chief Elder.



The importance of memory; the relationship between pain and pleasure; the importance of the individual. The thing that the author is communicating is the pain and pleasure. The character help convey the author's message by receving the truth and the memories. No, I don't disagree with any decision that the characters make. The actions of the character help us to better understand the message that the author is communicating because we Jona was trying to say that there could not be any violence and war.



The thing that I like about the book was that he was receving the memories from our world. Like he receving the color, sun, snow, and more things. The thing I didn't like the book was that you have to be a certain age to ride a bike.



My opinion is that this was a good book that have cool things. When I was reading this book I was asking me question about this book. I was asking me like, "Could this happen in real life?", "How does this place look like?". I was asking me does question. Also, I was imaging my self in the book. This book was an exciting book to everyone. It can entertain even the teachers. Everone can imaging thereselve in the book.
