Silly Bandz By: Alyssa and Troyanna

Silly Bandz

Wow! Why are silly bandz so popular these days?

Silly Bandz are popular. They are bracelets that come in any shape you can think of, they also come in many colors. Silly Bandz were originally made as shaped rubber bands but people wore them as bracelets.

Silly Bandz were designed in Japan by a man who wanted to stop people from throwing away rubber bands. He created silly bandz hoping that people would recycle the rubber bands instead of kids fooling around with them like, shooting people with them. Before long these creative new product were discovered by Robert Crook and he had them turn into silly bandz.

Silly Bandz are fun and exciting to have. Kids and teenagers love silly bandz. We interviewed a family that buys silly bandz and here what one of the daughters have to say I rather she rather spend her money on other stuff then silly bandz another daughter said I rather spend all my money on silly bandz . Their mother thinks they are okay and the two middle daughters think

they are cool.And that’s the end of the interview

harry potter and the deathly hallows by: NaOmY GaRcIa

Did you see the movie Harry Potter 7? You saw the movie but yu don't have any idea of what they are talking about? Well its my opportunity to tell you guys some things about the movie that everybody ignore (maybe because they didn't read the book).

In harry potter 7, harry does not come to hogwarts and he travel with ron and hermione to search the horrocruxes (parts of voldemort's soul) and destroyed voldemort. Then when they are closed to destroyed one, they visit luna's father (xenophilius lovegood) for asked him about a signal that they watch in a tomb when they went to godric's hollow (for watch the tomb of harry's parents).

Xenophilius told to the guys a history about the peverell brothers: The story saids that three brothers meet the death in a river because they make a bridge, so the death was angry because he lose three more victims, for travelers usually drowed in the river, but the death was cunning. He pretend to congratulated the brothers upon their magic andtold them that they each earned a prize, those prizes became the deathly allows.

Now about the horrocruxes, are 7. The cup of helga hufflepuff, the locked of salazar slytherin, harry potter, nagini ( voldemort's snake), the crown of rowena ravenclaw, the diary of tom riddle ( harry destroyed that horrocrux in the chamber of secrets), and the ring of marvolo gaunt ( voldemort's grandfather, the ring is a deathly hallow).

There somethigs that i have to tell: dobby, madeye, tonks, lupin, and fred dies. Tonks get pregnant of lupin so i think that there's another boy without parents, his name is teddy, and one more thing: HARRY DIES TOO!!! but i don't want to tell you guys more because im going to ruined your time reading the book and watching the movie.

Dance by:Crystal

What makees you whant to dance and why do you like it? People love to dance because it lets out there stress and helps them get stronger.

It's also a good way to exercise your feelings and get in shape. Dancing expressed what you feel and tells us who you are as a person.

We also like dancing, because it's fun and people love the beat to the music and want to show they can dance.

If you want to dance you have to have a passion for it. You have to have the patience and the skill. You also have to want it more than anything else. You cant just say, "I'm going to do it" and start to dance. It's a type of art that we do with our body, and it is peaceful and can relax you when you're stressed.

Dancers are artists, they have to stay in top shape. They have to follow a training program, just like basketball players and other athletes. People can change the world through dancing. Dancers have power over us as much as the president does. One day my dancing skills will change everyone's lives.

Three Days Grace: by Christian and Joe

I like Three Days Grace for many reasons.

First, they have great sound. They harmonize everything very well.

Second, they have great songs. I can relate to many songs.

Third, I like them because each song hads it's own unique sound.

Last but not least, I like Three Days Grace because they are not like most bands and don't care what people think of them.

I strongly advise you to listen to Three Days Grace too.

Headaches By Vanessa

November 3 2010,

Is when i had my first headache.

To me it feels like i have a heavy brain.

Ms.Harwood told me that alot of newcomers that come to San Diego get excruciating headaches and she gets it too.

Let me tell you about this headache i had, It felt like your brain is doing flips and making a hard landing on purpose.

You can barely do anything it's like your brain isn't working but you want it to work but you just cant.

Right now when i was writing this i was really trying hard to focus on this blog.

I looked on Bing on figuring out what makes headaches the answer to that is high blood pressure, dehydration.

But Ms.Harwood said that i probably got the headaches from "Santa Ana Winds"the causes of that is "Foehn Wind", hot dry wind and alot of doctors get alot of calls about headaches & nausea & allergy's.

In Austria & Switzerland have it too and Switzerland has it bad.

When the "Foehn Wind" comes to Switzerland the have alot of suicide rates go up.

But in my cause it was the "Santa Ana Winds".

The first professional football team was the Allegheny Athletic Association. Their team colors are blue and white. The organization was found in 1890, the team was from Allegheny, Pennslvania. Wikipedia says that the America Professional Football Association was formed in 1920. Two years later they changed the name to "National Football League".

Drawings by:Maribel

Do you like to draw? Drawing takes a lot of practice. One reason I like to draw is because I can get my feelings out. I can express my feelings throw art. If you like to draw I'll encourage you to be an artist. It really doesn't matter what drawings you do somebody will love them. There's so many different kins of drawings like spray panted drawings and splat pant,nature all sorts of drawings.

When you draw thats when you can draw about anything you would like. No one can say you did it wrong because you do it how you want it to be. You can put action in your picture or sad,mad emotions. You can show the emotions throw colors and more.

So never give up on drawing. Be all you can and I guarantee you someone will like your picture. This is one way to show your life to people and a very beautiful way too. Being an artist is showing people what you see through your eyes.

Custom Built Moticycles by: Javier

Motorcycles are especially popular and I especially like them because you can take them every where and they're faster and smaller than cars.

I like custom built motorcycles because they are cool and and it takes a lot of hard work to make them.

Custom built motorcycles are like art to me because people express themselves to make them. I think custom built motorcycles are better than normal motorcycles because you can decorate a custom built motorcycle however you want.

You can spend your money on custom built motorcycles and make them however you want instead of buying normal motorcycle you don't like.

What to do if you have 500 dollars? by: naomy g.

what if you found 500 bucks or someone give it to you, now you have a lot of money but, what to do with them?



We know that if your parents or someone of your family give you a lot of money, that's because they know you are responsible and you are going to take care abot it. Now the word that you hate most is: PAY, if you have 11-16 year-old, and you don't have to pay the bill of gas, phone, house, card credits, food, water and other stuff, you ar going to know what to do with a lot of money.



When we are teens in the age between 12-16 you want to buy whatever you want and you don't want to know the prizes of everything, you just spend money. You don't want to listen to your parents because you think is your money, but remenber who give it to you so, be more responsable and respectful. I know everyone wants fashion clothes or a DS but be more smart, makes you a person who knows how to buy.

Relationships & Communication by: andrea

It seems like couples break up becuase of lack of communication. so i wennt around my class to see what they think. I will keep thier names unknown to protect their identities, but I will give their gender.

Guy: They break up because they don't want to hear the girl talking about themselves 24/7.

Girl: Because sometimes guys overreact.

Girl: Because guys don't want to listen to what they [girls] have to say because they think it's all BS.

Guy: The reason why is because it's hard to talk to your girlfriend because she is always hanging out with her friends, and you never get to hang out with her, because she's always with her friends.

Girl: It's hard because some guys would always deny or won't be honest or they would like and say they will always be honest. But in reality they do the opposite of what they say.

Guy: Because girls would always be around their friends and wouldn't keep their mouths shut and didn't really talk to their boyfriends.

What do Teens Think College Will Be Like, By Rahshan

Maybe teens might think that colege is like the movie "American Pie," well that's why I'm doing an interview on some of my middle school pupils on what they thick.

From Nate he says that college will be filled with horrifying studying, but it can be a good lesson filled place with some experiences along the way. In his metaphor he says that college is like discovering what's outside the box.

Coming from Kevin he says in a metaphor that college is like a burrito instead of a pie. Asking what he meant by that he says "a burrito is satisfying and so is college filled with new things to experience.

I believe that my two interviews where successful due to my theory on how some teens might think about the big C . From my perspective these two have something in common. For me college would be filled with interesting studies, but at some point the experience might be more similar to that of American Pie.
