Blog Questions Book: Artemas Fowl and the Lost Colony
What do you think will happen next?
I think that Artemis-the fourteen year old main character- and his body guard Butler will run into some trouble trying to break into the millionaire’s mansion. I think that there will be a big conflict with being caught and having to be bailed out by there friend Holly. After this I think that all of them will have to come up with a new plan to break into the mansion.
My favorite character is……because…….
My favorite character is Butler. He appeals to me because he is a body guard. This makes him interesting to me because like most twelve year old boys I like violence and action which Butler gets a lot of. Mostly, I like his sense of style. A black suit, mirrored glasses, topped off with a shaven head.
If I was the author I would change…………
If I was the author I would change the amount of scientific conversation Artemis talks about with the other characters. Even though I always understand the point and meaning of what he is saying, it always takes me about fifteen minutes to understand one page. Other than this I would not changing anything because I think that the author did a perfect job of writing this book.
The bad thing about this game is that you can’t see how many troops you send, etc. And, you don’t have a simulator which can calculate whether you win or loose…
Tribal Wars would be better than this game if they had Feudalism in there. Oh, but this game is still convenient and fun ’cause we don’t have to wait for any time to attack a village.
Because almost half of the 7th grade looks at your blog, can you help me advertise something? If you have time, can you go to my blog and copy the ad I did onto you blog? The post is called: Fun Game for 7th graders.
I know what it feels to be trapped in an airport or oon a plane. I ewas trapped for 4 hours on a small airbus 320 flight. My flight was scheduled at 8:15 am to take off. Our destination was my hometown Fuzhou along the SouthEastern coast (Don’t be surprised when you see that dot on our clustr map!) It was at Hongqiao airport, the same day as your flight, and the snow was everywhere on the plane. 20 planes were lining up ready to be defreezed, and we were the 2nd last craft, so we had to wait a long time. DUring the wait, we were served breakfast, and water (you should know how sucky China Easterns’food is). During that wait, I finished like the last 300 pages of a 500 page book (Firestar, by Chris D’Lacey) and then I used my dad’s laptop to try get onto my blog and also lay Tribal Wars.
I wasn’t the only one stuck on a plane (ugh!). Kerry Liu, in my core classes, was flying to Beijing on a 9:00 plane, and even though we didn’t see each other, I knew he was also stuck on a plane for 4 hours, and probably even worse, because the planes queued up were getting longer and longer.
And, I also knew he didn’t decide to jump off the plane and get his ticket money back, because on my clustr map I saw a dot from Beijing.
Phew, at least now I’m here safe and sound, after a turbulent flight yesterday, but it would be even worse getting here today, because Shanghai today should be pretty darn freezing and definite ice on the grounds (James P. phoned me).
Good luck in getting on a plane and off the ground!
Hey, Mr.Cole, I was just wondering whether my questions are very similar to the test ones. Please come on my blog to clarify. And also, I really hope Carol Wilkinson sees Kevin and my dragon, because 1) we’re very proud of it and 2) it’s not fair that we worked actually HARDER on it then other pepople, who had smaller versions. We also DID NOT trace them, and drew by free hand, which is an accomplishment by itself. I hope she would comeup to take a look. Thanks!
I really like many people’s posts of their interpretations. I’m surprised people interpreted with such polarized opinions, but so similar conclusions. I wonder, is it the poem, or is it the interpretations themselves that really inspire us?
Too bad Friday’s sky was overcast. No glimpse of sun. Actually, I have another idea of writing of a sunrise for that day. Don’t want to be giving ideas out to others also lurking here to gather inspiration!, so should I post it on my blog, or hand it to here hard copy?
For the typed roman quiz. For all classes that are taught by you, Its on tuesday? Oops… I thought it was on Monday. Im glad i looked at your blog. Thank you.
Hello.
I was on Google Blog Search, looking for blogs in/on shanghai, and I came across yours. I presume that this is the teachers blog, and your students each have separate blogs, too.
That is exactly what my classroom is like. Main teachers blog=thinwalls.edublogs.org do you live in shanghai? If you do, do you like it there?

Hi Mr. Cole, I also teach 7th grade, although Social Studies – world history from the fall of Rome through to the Explorers where our 8th grade teachers take over. I love your web – blog – the first I’ve visited. Quite impressive work from your students and great info related to curriculum. I would love to hear more about your school and program. I live in NH and teach at Hollis Brookline Middle School. My students just made manors, castles and cathedrals as we began our Middle Ages studies. We’re exploring the plague, and will enter the crusades next week – I have done a Interactive simuation in the past, and look forward to that. Please write and would enjoy sharing ideas with you. Great site!

Cinquains can be about objects too right?
How are you supposed to make line 4 a feeling then?
Objects can’t FEEL.

In the cinquain Triad, line 4 “before the dawn, the mouth of one” does not express a feeling.
