C4K Summary for February

Kaylea's Blog
On February 3, 2014,  Kaylea posted a comic review to her blog. She created her comic strip by using Toon Doo. She liked using Toon Doo better than Make Belief Comix because it was colorful. She
tried making a comic in Make Belief Comix, and since it was a free site, she did not have to log
in. The only thing about this site was that it was not very colorful. I did not know anything about
creating comic strips, so by reading Kaylea's blog, I learned which sites to use if I ever want to create my own comic strip such as Kaylea and the other students of Mrs. Reuter's class.

Nova the Soccer Girl
On January 8, 2014, Nova the soccer girl posted a poem to her class blog called, "L.A.X."  Nova is in third grade at Hong Kong International School in Mrs. Little's class. Her poem was about being famous. She said that she would love to have the paparazzi pick her up in a limo everyday, but
instead, she walks out her door to the bus. Nova used onomatopoeias in her poem. I like how she said
"flash, flash, flash," to describe the paparazzi. It is amazing how technology is advancing everyday and that students in third grade are posting assignments on blogs.

Jojo
On February 12, 2014, Jojo posted a blog about film vs. text.  She is a student in Mrs. Miller's class in
Baldwin County.  She said that she liked the movie because it was easier to understand to watch it rather than read it. She didn't know if the film had any similarities to the text because she was absent for the text. She only read the story. I believe that reading a book and watching a movie are the best ways to full understand a story completely.

Tatiana
On February 3, 2014, Tatiana posted a poem to her class blog. Tatiana is a student in seventh grade at Bode Middle School in St. Joseph, Missouri.  She used figurative language to describe color like the meadow mist. Figurative language helps give the poem a more real life image. Tatiana's poem vividly described the meadow with a lot of colors. Tatiana did a good job using figurative language in her poem.
