speed TIME
One day Jack was steadily walking up the hill. He saw Jill and started to get excited. He started to run a bit faster. Once he met Jill, he suddenly tripped over a rock and started to roll down the hill. He was all bloody and sad when he made it to the bottom. He was crying and sobbing. He felt like he was going to die. He wanted to go and meet Jill since Their Love was strong so he started to climb the hill again. They walked down the hill happily ever after.
What was the hurry??Ashley & Monaisia
Monaisia lived at the bottom of the hill, down the block and around the corner. One day she was running home and she hit the top of the hill and began to run. While she ran down the hill she began to pick up speed, fell and broke her wrist. She made a sudden stop when she got to the bottom to make sure her wrist wasn’t falling off or nothing. She had to walk diagonally across the street and around the corner to Maple Hill Rd. Then when she got home she realizes that the in jury was bad. When she went to play ball at The UTK they told her she couldn’t because of her wrist!! At the end of the night Monasia said,” I Shoulda Coulda Woulda but I didn’t walk home.”

TIME Jackie Chan had a speed talisman (a type of rock that has special supernatural powers) and started running from the shadowcon (an evil organization’s henchmen), while chewing his gum. He suddenly tripped and fell. He retraces his steps trying to look for the talisman, when suddenly the shadowcon start to attack Jackie. He does some of his kicking and jumping and flipping. One of the shadowcon has the talisman and starts to beat up Jackie Chan. It’s going so fast Jackie Chan can not defend. Jackie Chan realizes that he must trap him somehow so he drops the gum he was chewing on the floor. He snatches the talisman and starts to run like the wind. the talisman starts to take it’s toll on Jackie so he starts to slow down.

REAL-LIFE GRAPHS MINI-PROJECT
Hello visionaries!!! Check out the cool new look for our blog (in honor of V-day)!
Today in the lab you will be drawing a real-life graph in Microsoft Word or Paint. It can be the graph you sketched in class yesterday, or a brand new one you create. Just remember: time cannot go backwards, so make sure your graph is logical.
To create your graph in Word, right click anywhere in the blank space below the blue bar, and make sure the Drawing menu has a check next to it. Then, all the tools you will need to draw your graph will appear at the bottom of Word. EACH partner should draw their OWN graph.
For your graph, make sure you provide the following:
*y-axis title
*x-axis title
NO GENERAL TITLE...your partner will provide that.
Once your graph is drawn and you have saved your work, switch documents with a partner. It is up to the partner to create a story that describes their partner's graph accurately. The story should be typed BELOW the graph. Higher grades will be given to stories that are very creative and that match the given graph.
Once you are finished, print out your graph and story with your name and your partner's name at the top, and submit it to Mrs. Collins. Then, you need to work on posting your work on the blog. You will have two days in lab to complete the project.
