Minecraft Poem

Here is my favorite poem I had to write for LA.  It is one of my teachers favorite, so I am putting it on my blog.

Minecraft is my favorite game.

Some people might think it’s lame,

But in it, you can build a train,

Some people find it insane.

In it you can be mischievous,

Or eat something that’s delicious!

Minecraft is my favorite game.

Some people might think it’s lame.

Something I Learned This School Year

Something I Learned This School Year

By Logan                                                                                                                                                                          3/20/15                                                                                                                               

            Coding is something where you can go online, and make things appear on the screen, by typing in text.  You can make anything you want to appear on the screen, and make it do anything you want, with some basic lines of code.

            This year, my favorite thing I learned about, was coding with Java Script.  I love coding, because, in it, you can do anything you want, at any time.

            I use this really fun coding site called Khan Academy.  You can go online, and code your own games, images, and moving images.  You can also see other peoples games and images.  Khan Academy is a really great place to learn how to code, for free.

            I started coding about 1 year ago, and I started off with a few basic rectangles and ellipses, but now I have been doing stuff like games, and making cars move across the screen.  I have been working on a game called “Firestar’s Quest”, and I have learned how to make things move back and forth across the screen, move, and then stop in the middle of the screen, and even make it so you can use the arrow keys to move around and catch a virtual mouse on the screen!  I really hope my game will come along well!  BYE!

Poetry Journal That I Made For School

Here is something I had to do for VLACS.  Before, I had images, but they do not show up on my blog, so I deleted the reasons that I chose the image.

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us -- don't tell!
They'd banish -- you know!

How dreary to be Somebody!
How public like a Frog
To tell one's name the livelong day
To an admiring Bog!

- Emily Dickinson

I like this poem, because sometimes I feel like I am nobody, when I am not listened to in the car. Truthfully, it is probably because I ramble on.

"Dream Deferred" by Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

I like this poem because it is creative.  

Room Poem

I have colorful paintings on the wall,

And I hear all the talking in the hall,

My iPod gives me a wonderful beat,

And my nice warm blanket gives me some heat,

At nighttime I will get to rest my head,

And snuggle up in my soft cozy bed.

-Logan

I chose this poem, because it is my favorite one I wrote.

Bacon

Bacon is cooking

Greasy, crunchy, salty, yum!

Hear its sizzle, spit!

-Logan

I chose this poem because it is about the best food in the world.  

The Beach

Waves are crashing down

The water, bright and foamy

Sand, warm on my feet

-Logan

I like this poem because I love the beach.  I also chose it because I can’t wait to go back to the beach.
