Intercession is a good break from learning and a great time to make new friends. In intercession you can pick three classes I got all of the classes I wanted for Intercession. Most people did not get the classes they wanted because there are so many people in Carroll County Middle School. I got some of my classes with my friends. This Intercession is really fun. It is a good break from learning and a great time to meet new people was the first time we have done Intercession but I am happy that we got to do it. Until it was time for volcanic eruptions I was so excited. Volcanic Eruptions was my favorite class. This class is where you get to make goo and to see how long it takes for mold to grow on wheat bread. It was so fun when we got to make goo. I wish I was in that class everyday. I love the teacher I had I have never met her before but I hope I will have the time to stop by her classroom and say hi. When it was near time to go to escape classroom I knew it was going to be fun. What we did in there was we had to unlock the locks that was tied around the box’s and the code was in the box’s. The codes went to a big box full of candy and when a group finishes first they get to try to unlock the big box and get a big handful of candy but if you are in second place or third place you only get one piece of candy. The whole reason I picked this class was because I thought I could learn a couple of things about teamwork. This class was really fun, I hope I will have…

some very great points for The Iris Center Star Sheet, I believe, that Sergio has, in fact, been mislabeled as having a learning disability; however, with the help of Mrs. Evans, his new resource teacher, he is getting the help that is truly needed. To begin, Sergio was not assessed adequately. He has very poor English. However, Sergio was given the test in both English and Serbian. Meanwhile, the test should have first been given in a language that he understood and then in English if he…
am feeling depressed or upset about something I just turn on the radio and listen to whatever is being played or I might pop in a CD of my favorite artist. Music speaks to my emotions. After, listening to it from being depress or upset it soothes and relaxes me. The music that makes me happy is Gospel.

While some may be inclined to believe certain dialects, (southern, Boston, etc.,) simply demonstrate improper English and grammar, these ways of speaking more often than not follow specific rules and tendencies as concrete as those in standard written English. However, those who are not in tune with the language style of the group typically get treated as outsiders. Furthermore, language transcends just written and spoken word, the content, and style with which a particular group chooses to…

Language has developed into another method of distinguishing between cultures. However, with the progression…
