STUDY HALL
Study Hall has moved to its own page. Click – The Study Hall – to go there.
It’s the one stop for sharing concerns (for yourself, for others, for anything) as long as they are concerns related to the class in some practical way.
“What can the study hall be used for?” you may ask. It can be used for many things.
- It can be a place to go over vocabulary, but it needn’t stop there.
- Sometimes, students share what they are enjoying about class, a project, or a book.
- You could post questions you have for your school mates.
- I, or other school mates, can answer your questions, give you suggestions, and keep this thing going for us all.

Hey everyone. Im going to do a little summarization on whats happened so far in The Book Without Words. In chapter 1,Thorston made the stones and ate one, which caused him to die.Before his death though, Sybil heard Thorston tell her she needs someone with green eyes to read the book. Sybil and Odo then plan to get a green eyed child. In chapter 2,Sybil releases alot of info to mistress Weebly, who in turn, tells that info to Master Bashcrawft.He then puts her under house arrest and sets out to buy a green child( for only 2 pennies might I add)and finds Brother Wilfred, who gave him Alfric. Also I believe Sybil has her first encounter with Wilfred(unless im mistaken and its chapter 3, and if it is, sorry!)In chapter 3, Alfric and Damien come into the story. They both attempt to read the book but can’t.Later, Bashcrawft comes but Sybil manages to get him to come back the next morning.She then decides to burry Thorston in the basement.After they burry him, a short time passes and Alfric relizes that if he tries really hard, he can read the book. Later though, Thorston comes back to life, appearing 20 years younger. As he is sleeping, Sybil goes and has a chat about Thorston and his past, as well as what will happen if Sybil doesn’t keep Thoston dead. Then Thorston later eats another stone, and dies…again.After they burry him for a second time, Alfric reveals that he can read the book. They read abit about the stones.They learn each one means something. The first stone is thoughts, the second one is life, the thid one is magic, and the fourth one is time. This is all i can summarize for you atm, hope this helps if anyone needs it!
I kinda like the new book. It actually mentions things I like or have heard of: phoenixes, chimeras, gargoyles, salamanders(fire-lizards), alchemy and the Philosopher’s Stone. Everyone should have heard of the last one. It was in Harry Potter #1. The original title was HP and The Philosopher’s Stone but they changed it in the US because “Sorceror’s Stone” sounded more exciting.
Just thought I’d let you know!

Keep it up!!
Go Westpine !!!!!!!!
Hey everyone its ya boy Matt W. Westpine recieved its first victory over Millenium on 11/15/07. Its just the beginning of a great season.
hey mr moshe i probablly wont be coming to school on 11/14/07 cuz during the game i got hurt and now i gotta go to the doctor
Hey Mr. Moshe! I just ordered the stuff from the Don’t Laugh at Me organization. I put Westpine’s address like you told us to. It didn’t cost a penny, I just had to fill out information. One thing that did concern me was when I was filling out the mandatory questionaire, it asked how long I have been teaching. Since there was no option to put “I’m not a teacher”, I just put the lowest number (one year). I received a confirmation email from the website. Unfortunately, it didn’t say how long it takes to actually get the materials.
Oh yeah, just so you know, I went home early because I am sick. I didn’t skip or anything like that. d:
Topic B: “What does it mean to be “ladylike” in our society? * Answer: Polite, fragile, gentle, nice, kind, don’t spit, sensitive, cry all the time, good manners, cross legs, shave your legs, passive, pretty, skinny, well dressed, don’t fight, can’t be smarter than guys, followers, smarter than men, confused, loyal, depend on guy.” To me, this makes girls want to abide by all these so called “rules”. It’s basically stating that all that matters to people is the physical appearance. In the same way, the characters in The Hound of the Baskervilles are stereotyped as well. For example, since Mr. Sherlock Holmes solves mysteries all the time, people would probably conclude that he’s a person that has no life. As did I. Before I got interested in the story, I thought since he solves cases all day, he just has nothing else to do in his spare time. This, is a stereotype, or in other words “judging a book by its cover”. Another example is when Mr. Barrymore stands by the open window waiting for Seldon, I’m sure people probably thought he was a little odd. I mean, what would you think if you saw a man waiting by a window every night? My Resource was Teen’s Ideas on Gender Stereotypes.
Deanna,
For Discussion #3 you are allowed to use sources other than the ones I provided if, that is . . . IF . . . you do as I ask in this post.
In fact this is for everyone. So, guess what, I am going to make this into a page of its own. A project of special note.
In order for you to use a resource you want to use that I have not listed myself, you will have to go to the website I list near the end of this comment.
Once there you must:
1. Take notes off the first page you come to.
2. Complete all of the 6 Suggestion Activities.
–For each activity:
—–Take thorough notes.
—–Answer all the “Questions to Think About”.
3. Do the Quick Review Activity Pop Quiz using Exhibit One and Exhibit Two. Answer all related questions.
4. Complete the “Oh, and there may be one more assignment.”
–Choose one.
—-Complete all that is required of you.
5. Go to the end of the presentation.
6. Get out of there.
——————————————————–
Here’s the web address where you could begin . . .
http://www.ithaca.edu/library/training/think.html
———————————————————–
SUBMIT ALL OF THE ABOVE ON PAPER DIRECTLY TO ME.
YOU MUST DO THIS IF YOU WANT TO USE YOUR OWN WEBSITES FOR DISCUSSION #3 or any discussion from this point on.
If you agree to this, I have no problem extending your due date for the Hound Discussion #3. It is quite a bit of work to get through, but is is well worth it. I’ve gone through the activities myself (all of them) and it was a great time, if I do say so myself.
Deanna, thanks for asking. It’s always a matter of time before someone wants to strike out on their own. I have the greatest of confidence in your ability to select reputable web sources, however I would be remiss as an instructor if I did not ask you to do this. Thank you for your understanding and courage.
Good luck!!
Happy learning.
I’m not sure what the deal is with YouTube. I’m sure they have a very talented team of lawyers ensuring that whatever they are doing is untouchable. In other words, even if hat YouTube does or allows is illegal, it will be very hard for anyone to get them on anything.
Thnx for the advice I could have been arrested or something(lol).I took it off of both sites (edublogs and freewebs.) but now they’re both empty except for the hound of the baskervilles ch 1-15 on my freewebs site.
One more question does that make youtube “slightly alegal”
Any ways thanks.
thnx!
Mr. Moshe,
For discussion number three, are we alowed to use sources other than the one you provided?
