Canada Poem

No nation is as wonderful as Canada
With its diverse geography and culture
Dense forests full of green and wildlife
Span from sea to shining sea
Cold rivers and deep, black lakes
Freezing tundras harbor the graceful caribou
Contrasting cultures, both Amerindian and European
All in harmony which creates Canada

Winter Acrostic

Ragout is made for a Christmas meal

Everyone is wearing a coat

The animals have gone to hibernate

No more shorts or T-shirts

Icicles on sides of roofs

Wind that is cold

Canada Reflection

All of these words remind me of Canada because of all the details I remember when visiting. These words can be traced back in some way to the center bubble. For example, Canada is known for being very cold and having very long winters. The country also has plenty of forests and places to hunt and fish. The only word not unique to Canada would be breakfast, because every country has some sort of morning meal. However Canada is well known for its maple syrup, and its a great condiment on pancakes or French toast.

Fall Acrostic

Falling leaves
All around us
Longer nights
Leaving summer behind

Testing Reflections

I believe that the biggest error I did while testing was that I did not focus enough to fully understand both of the first two short stories. When I began reading the stories, I quickly became uninterested in the reading, therefore I did not quite understand the questions asked. However, this is not the case for every story. For example, for some of the stories in previous SAT's were quite interesting, and I became more aware of what was going on and fully understood the questions asked. Another problem I encountered while testing was that in some of the answer choices, I did not understand what some words meant. For example, I did not know that the word "disdain" meant until I looked it up after the test. Also, I believe that I should have studied more the previous stories we have gone over, especially the earlier ones such as "I Stand Here Ironing." I had trouble remembering all the stories and their meanings.

Driver Wanted

Someone who can drive me to school
Must have gone to Driver's Ed
Should know all the rules of traffic
Good at passing slow people
Must also not feel sleepy
Do not worry about gas money
I just want to get to school on time
