Assessment #4

When we got to the boys and girls club they were playing a game where there is a ball in the center of the room and you have to grab it and bring it back to your side before the other person tags you. This game should me that the kids are becoming a lot more welcoming of us. At some points when I was running with the ball my teamates would cheer me on yelling my name. This surpried me because last time we met they mainly called us "him or that guy". This made me feal that we were getting to know each other a lot better. When the homework started I helped the same cross eyed girl I helped last time. She needed to read a passege with a partner. seeing as she was very young she needed help with alot of the words. I think this visit imrpoved our relenship with each other greater.

Assessment #3

Today we visited the boys and girls club for the third time. We got there early so we played a game of octopus with the kids. When the homework time started I helped a small girl who was cross eyed with her english homework. She had to write words in future and past tence. Then she had to read through a paragraph and find mistakes. For example if the word "Then" was spelled wrong she would have to circle it. The kids there are becoming a lot less shy and are asking us for help more often. I am now starting to have much more fun going to the boys and girls club.

Then It Goes Back

Wavin Flag Relating to To Kill A Mockingbird

By: Cole Blake

In the song “Wavin Flag” there is a line that I think directly relates to the book To Kill A Mockingbird. This line is “And then it goes back”and I think it relates to Miss Maudie’s quote “Don’t worry about me, Jean Louise Finch. There are ways of doing things you don’t know about.”. I think there are three main ways that the song could possible relate to this quote.

(T.S)Sitting there thinking about a quote from the from the song “Wavin Flag”, “And then it goes back” did not mean a lot to me but after reviewing it thoroughly I realised it meant a lot more then I previously thought . (S.D)For one, it has a lot to do with sports. (CM)When playing a sport like football or soccer you have to try to score. (CM)When you do you feel great, but then the other team will score right after and take away your former renown.(SD)The same thing happens when you try hard, the other team will try even harder. (CM)This quote could also refer to my life. When I am working on math homework and finally finish the problem I will realise I made a mistake and have to redo the whole problem. (CM)Also, when cooking things, if you forget an ingredient you will have to remake the whole meal. (CS)I am so glad i took the time to ponder over this quote because now i know a lot more about the song.

(TS) A quote from To Kill A Mockingbird relates a lot to this line from “Wavin Flag”. (SD)The quote reminded me a lot about hope and how you need it after the other team scores and lets you down. (CM)I think she means hope because scout is only a little girl and does not understand much about having hope. (CM)Miss Maudie will need hope after watching her house burn to a crisp. (SD)Miss Maudie’s quote also reminded me of my life when I need hope. (CM)Although my house has not burnt down I still have had times where I needed hope. (CM)For example, when I get sick i need to hope that I get better so I do not miss any more school. (CS)Miss Maudie’s quote made me think about how we all need hope at some point in our lives.

I think this line can easily relate to Miss Maudie’s quote in many ways. A lot of this quote has to do with hope, so does the song “Wavin Flag”. I also think it has to do with sports and soccer. “Wavin Flag” was the song for the 2010 world cup and has a lot of lines relating to soccer. There are so many ways this quote and song can relate to each other.
