Hydropower – Science

Dawn
on Night.
The word sounds across my mind.
Darkness is closing in around me.
Holding me tight like a cold, black hand,
not letting me go.
The rustle of the leaves.
The howl of the wolves like a song
in the moonlit air.
The screech of an owl,
as it softly glides through the sky.
The snap of a twig as a raccoon hurries home.
For they know.
Light is coming.
Spirit Fighter by Jerel Law
on Here’s a presentation I did for language arts class. Enjoy. I can’t wait until the next book, The Fire Prophet, comes out.
Wondrous Beauty
on In my mom’s class (she’s my LA and Reading teacher), we wrote a poem. Here’s mine.
ENJOY!!!!
I stand,
Water flowing around me.
An eagle above,
lets loose a mighty shriek,
as it dives after it’s prey.
Then,
a quick flash of light in the water.
I jerk back my pole to set the hook.
A vigorous bright colored trout leaps from the water.
At long last,
I finally land the lustrous beast.
As I congratulate myself on a job well done,
I’m amazed by the fish’s beauty.
Then I quietly slip the trout into the water,
and watch it slip away,
into the lake’s shadowy depths.
You Payin’ the Bill?
on Hey. You. Yeah you. The one readin’ this. You may call me Supreme leader, President of Earth or Ruler of all. But my real name’s Unicorn. Yeah, yeah. An evil Unicorn. I know,Unicorns aren’t the most evil thing in the world, but I come pretty darn close. And of course “Evil Unicorns” all have to have good guys to kick their butts and mine’s named Tech Storm. His power is to control all technology around him. And his suit can transform into anything. For instance, one day when I was on a run, no evil intended, little taser/sleep bullets started to fly right at me. And as I’m doing all I can to NOT get hit, I look to my left and what do I see?!?! Tech Storm’s suit transformed into a pretty massive machine gun. Well I‘m pretty hungry so I’m going to go to Sub-Way to get me a Vegi-Lovers-Special-Foot Long for $10. Later sucker!!!!

In Sub-Way
————————————————
As I walk in, people stare at me. But especially one dude who had walked in with me. Then, all of a sudden, we (at the same time) see a sign that says, “ONLY ONE VEGI-LOVERS-SPECIAL FOOTLONG LEFT!!” Then we both run as fast (in my case galloped as fast) as we can towards the counter. We get there at the same time. The man introduced himself. “Hi, I’m Chuck Connors.” “ Yeah, whatever, I’m Unicorn.” I snapped back at him. Then the weirdest thing happened. The guy took off, sprinting for the bathroom. “Gotta go when ya gotta go!” I said chuckling to myself. “Alright! I’ll take the last vegi-lovers spe-” All of a sudden, Tech Storm shot out of the little boys room. “I’ll take that sandwich!!” he yelled. “I was here first!!!!” I screamed back at him. “Come at me then!!!” he roared back. I zoomed towards him with a pace faster than light, my horn glowing and radiating with power. I put on the biggest burst of speed in my life, head lowered for a charge. Then, at the last second, Tech Storm jumps to the side, and I hurtle through the wall. I’m going so fast that I keep going. And over my shoulder, I hear the nerdy guy from the counter say in a nasally voice, “Tech Storm! Thank you for getting rid of that “evil” whacko!! As a reward, you can have the very last Vegi-Lovers-Special Foot Long!!!”
**********
Alright, alright. Quit ya laughin’. I know the whole “Sub-Way” incident didn’t go so well, I lived it for cryin’ out loud!!! I’ve been wondering. I’m bad at being bad, but what if I’m good at being good? I set up a meeting with Teck Storm to talk about my feelings, under a (if this doesn’t work out) temporary peace treaty. I’ll be meeting with Tech Storm in a dark, scary ally. Wish me luck!!

The next day
————————————————
Hey again. Looking back on all of that evil junk, I realise that I was only “trying to be evil” because when I was a young foal, I was picked on by the other animals because I only had one horn, while they all had two horns or none at all. But I’ve moved past all of that now and have agreed to work with Tech Storm (after I’ve been trained) and be a good guy. Well I’ve got to go pick flowers and chase butterflies now!!
Love,
Unicorn
P.S. Being bad doesn’t pay the bills!!
Books
on My favorite writer of all time is for sure Rick Riordan. I haven’t read one book of his that I haven’t liked. I have put a link to his blog in my blog roll widget.
S.M.S. (SAVE MY SOUL!!)
on Hey guys, I want to write a novel for kids, but the problem is that I can’t think of what the story should be about. So leave me some comments of what YOU think it should be about.
THANKS!!!

Types of GPS’s
on In school we’ve been working on a survival project and we split into groups and try to “survive” and lose as minimum number of “heart beats” as possible, and using a GPS is a part of it so here is some info about GPS’s.
Car GPS: type in the location then set it on your dash (if it’s not built in) then it will tell you where to go.
Garmin GPS: type in a location, then the GPS will tell you where to find it, and it also comes with a CD.
Phone GPS: it’s obious that the GPS is on a phone and is pretty much the same as the other 2 GPS’s.
How to operate a GPS: type in the location (North and West cordanents) and it will show you (with an arrow and a compass) where to go.
Game with a GPS: treasure hunt- draw a North and West cordanite out of a hat. Have a Garmin GPS to be able to find the location. If you have foung the correct spot, you will find a prize there!
