song


Rolling in the deep

There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark.
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare.

See how I'll leave, with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do.

There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark.

The scars of your love, remind me of us.
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it
To the beat

Baby I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head burn,
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared

The scars of your love, remind you of us.
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Adele Rolling In The Deep lyrics found on http://www.directlyrics.com/adelele-rolling-in-the-deep-lyrics.html

Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it
To the beat

We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
But you played it
With a beating

Throw your soul threw every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

We could have had it all
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it to the beat

We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand

But you played it,
You played it,
You played it
You played it to the beat

Final draft campaign

No to abortion! 

We can definetly make the world a better place if we can make people see that abotion is not the solution when a mother is pregant. 

Abortion is commiting murder from the point of view of not only me but many experts. Comiting abortion is when a mother decides that she is not going to have the baby she is carying inside her but she is going to kill the little baby who is forming inside her body. The way that mothers abort is by a sucking kind of pip which starts to suck the little baby peace by peace, its horrible so at the end shes not just killing her baby, but in a really cruel form. 

When mothers abort they dont only expiriences physical dameges like: cancer, ovarie cancer can happen and breast cancer also, if she wants to have other babies they may come out with some difficulties, and her health decreses alot. Not only is there physical damages but physhological also, mothers live there entire life with regrets eventhough she decidedd to kill her baby in that moment after she can regret, and that even can lead to suecide and many more things.

As we are telling you to NOT abort, there has to be a solution, and there is: many really important foundations such as La Casa de la Madre y el Niño which help mothers usally young aged that get pregnant to help them know that killing their babies is not the soultion but that they recive the babies they didnt abort and take them to adoptation so that they can make families who cant have babies happpy, and have a very goood life, La Casa de la Madre y el Niño garanties and makes sure that thiose kids who are being adopted recive exelent families and the life that they diserve. Thats a totally better soultion that killing a baby who can become something and someone in life. 

This is a foundation has been working since 1942, 70 years. Their vision is to strengthen the quality of service that they welcome people of different classes. There are about 65 kids since newborn babies until 8-year olds. La Casa de la Madre y el Niño has a team of highly qualified professionals consisting of: Pediatricians, nurses, psychologists, speech therapists, social workers, nutritionists, psychologists, occupational therapists, among others. Also assistants in the care of children, general service staff and kitchen, and group volunteers.

So as you can see killing a baby and it may be your own baby its not to option if their solutions that you can take, with the help of amazing foundations as La Casa de la Madre y el Niño life, happyness and no deaths can happen!

No to abortion!

We can defenetly make the world a better place if we can make people see that abotion is not the solution. If we can make the mothers see that aborting is not to only way.

Abortion is commiting murder since the point of view of not only me but many experts. Comiting abortion is when a mother disides that she is not going to have the baby she is carying inside her but she is going to kill the little baby which is forming inside her body. The way that mothers abort is by a sucking kind of pip which starts to suck the little baby peace by peace, ots horrible so at the end shes not just killing her baby, but in a really cruel form.

When mothers abort they dont only expiriences physical dameges like: cancer ovaries can happen and breast cancer also, if she wants to have other babies they may come out with some difficulties, and her health decreses alot. Not only is there physical damages but cicological also, mothers kive there entire life with regrets eventhough she decidedd to kill her baby in that moment after she can regret, and that even can lead to suecide and many things more.

As we are tlling you to NOT abort, there has to be a solution, and there is: many really important foundations such as La Casa de la Madre y el Niño which help mothers usally young aged that get oregnant to help them know that killing their babies is not the soultion but that they recive the babies they didnt abort and take them to adoptation so that they can make families who cant have babies happpy, and have a very goood life, La Casa de la Madre y el Niño garanties and makes sure that thiose kids who are being adopted recive exelent families and the life that they disere.

game!

commercial analisis

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWv1Wa9gybo

the commercial that i choose was about adidas, this is a very recognized brand in all the world.

style: they use a none word style with only music and really cool pictures. i think that they use this style for us to focus on the famous people who appear in this video insted of us focusing on words which wouldnt for my opinion make it that interesing.

voice: this commercial as i told you theres no talking so im gonna tell you that the voice they used was the music that was inspiring and like for me like athletic and you could like be like wohooo! with the rythm of the players.

p. o. v. : the point of view or like the meassge is like use adidas because many of the famous athlics use it so you can like become like them, they show you the best soccer player in the world; Messi, many good tennis players etc.

ethos: this video convinces and helps you get a big picture of all the good players that use adidas and it helps you see like omg they use it why dont we..

pathos: i think that what most inspires you is the pictures of like the action of the players and the the music helps you like get inside the image of the buying of adidas things.

logos: i thing that the facts are nthat the important of the famous people use it so its like a fact about buy it and you can feel really good. also the names that come at the end after the final slogone which is adidas is all in is really good because after showing pictures they say names :)

Ideas for campaign

Text
Ideas for Campaign
1. No to abortion: pro: kids have an oportunity to a life, to a succesful one. Con: the mother can have a future not being interupted by a child
2. Story about a mother who decided not to abort. Pro: convinces women abortion isn’t the right decision. Con: people are get scared to confront this problem.
3. Show the house and how it is organized and runned. Pro: make people see they can get help in good places. Con: not everyone nows it exists.
We chose the “no to abortion” because it is really sad to think that mothers are taking a posibility of life of their own child, when there are places for the children to have a succesful life.

Campaign topic

Out topic after discusing it alot laura mejia, sofia escobar and me came up with the idea of an fubdation thats called la madre del nino. De dicided it because lauras grandmother is the one who runs that fundarion.
This fundatioin is for kids in adoptation, i personally think that its really important to have places like that one because i think that everyone diserves opportunities and there they give kids alot of imortant things and an opportunity for life.
People should care about it because thise little kids diserve alot.
I really also like the mision of the fundation because its asureing that there priority is the kids and their willing to help them under every sircunstance.
This also has 70 years working so achange can rwally be done
It has about 70 kids living their
think this is a topic in which we can focus on so we help those kids, their we can make a change.

final myth draft

CNG or Colegio Nueva Granada, an excellent school in Bogota. New year, august 15, new teachers, new students, new principal, and it seemed that the same old problem; lates. Micheal new student at CNG, he was perfect; tall, handsome, hot and one thing that made him amazing was that we was working to be the captain of the soccer team, he was just great at everything he did except for arriving on time to class.

As tardy’s where such a trouble in CNG there was this legendary discipline teacher who had work for many international schools by then. His name was Brad Bellick. He was really creepy. In all school assembly they were introducing all the new teachers when suddenly Bellicks name appeared, Micheal freaked out as he had been the last discipline teacher in Michael last school; Green Cove. Seconds after he just looked at his brother, best friends and everything to him ; Lincon. They were in complete shock…

After one week of Michael getting late to many of his classes and Bellick just wating for the best opportunity he had to torture and make Micheal suffer. Michael got late to his next class because he stayed talking after PE with Lincon about the resent dead of Micheal’s mother. Bellick called Michael to his office, Michael thought he had change and as he hold him to stay afterschool, he just thought it was a normal afterschool detention like in every school...

At 2 sharp, micheal arrived to Bellick’s office. At first everything was okay, as there was another kid called Theodore at detention, as soon as Theodore left that was abput 2:30 Bellick told Micheal to go outside and then he started to know that things were not okay. As soon as they got out to like the playground,, everyone at campus had left he started to sudddenly turn red, his vains poped 3d out of his face and a sudden lightning hitted the ground, as soon as it hitted it a crack started to happen, it was sucking everything one its path, and guess what the next thing on its path was Micheal, ground started to suck him, faster that what Micheal thought, as Bellick thought that the ground was going to kill Micheal he went away, when suddenly Micheal was struggeling for getting a knife which he had on his poket, but it wasn’t nesesary know. As with his elvos where pushing away the ground in a amazing way, he didn’t know where all his force was coming from, but he couldn’t control it, it was a lot!

After about 50 seconds after Micheal started to figure out that unnormal power, he managed to get out of the sucking ground. The second he got out of there he ran as fast as he could to get Bellick but it was way to fast. After he had seen that he had done he realized that he was running as fast as no one could, like que could really win a cheetah or something, but in a so fast way! Next day you just can´t imagine Bellick´s face as soon as he saw Micheal in a perfect shape. The day pased and Micheal wated till after school to go to Bellick´s office. As soon as he arrived there, Bellick just asked him, “ how, how did you get away with life if I had puted you a order to the gods to kill you?” Micheal just answered, “ well it seems that my mom who died few weeks just before this incident is Athenea goddness of the war, and that both children Micheal and Lincon will never loose a fight, and will punish those persons who tried to hurt Athenea´s little babys. So it seemed that Bellick was in for a treat.

As micheal and his mother where really close and could communicate anytime they wanted, Micheal asked her for a favor;the favor was for her to do a pack with Ades althought he wasn’t the best person who you could like to do pacts with but anyway Athenea could get Ades to help her and take Bellick to the under world, because remember no one messes up with to children of the gods. Bellick was really calmed and resting in his office when suddenly a fire started to come out of his bathroom, the entrance and the beginning of his terrible life in the under world was just beginning. Ades himself made Bellick do a quit letter so that no one would care where he could be…

Next day Micheal woke up, and he couldn’t belive himself he thought it wasn’t real that Bellick was finally gone and for good. A new detention teacher came, he was a really understanding teacher and a one with normal consequences. ;) that day Lincon and Micheal did the party of the year not only because Bellick was gone but because Micheal and all the soccer team had one the uncoli games and because they finally knew all that there mother was hidding from them, but that was only between the two brothers! And finnally it became a normal school just like al others! athenea would sometimes send Micheal news about bellick and let me tell you, oh they were so gorse and bad ones, but it was what de diserve, to bad he messed upp with th wrond ones.

little bird tales

http://littlebirdtales.com/tales/view/story_id/34661/preview/true/

heaven is for real - creating!!


check out real images and videos of colton and his familyy!









Analyzing!- other peoples projects

ana maria !
i really like how Ana putted every benchmark or every like section in a diffeerent place of like post so it was really organized. i also liked how she puted like cause and effect. it was a very good one for me. 

ramon!
i liked that ramon uses especific pages to shpw examples of the book and also that he gives alot of details. really good. 

alejandro samper!
the thing that i most liked about alejandros project was that for him to get a 3.5 or a 4 he did a letter to the author, that for me was a really creative thing to do! i thoyught it was awsome, that letter he did also for me was like kind of a recomendation! really really good! 

worst audience behavior

for me the worst audience behavior is fooling araound with your peers, because i think that if you fool around you will eventually in sometime talk or even get to scream, also you will distract other people and aybe involve them in whats happening. so for me thats the worst  thing you can do in a presentation or in a place.
i think that my behavior was good, it was a really interesting presesntation so i didnt need to talk or distract myself.
maybe i neeed to improve that if some talks to me i say no, whait till later and not respond the.
but i think it was pretty good.

heaven is for real- final project

understanding:
heaven is for real is one of the most amazing books i had ever read. not only becuase it has an amazing meassge but because its a true, real life book.
characteres: ALL the characters in my book are real, so i cant creitizes or anything, but i think that it was really good discribed and everything because as they were talking in 1 person and the narrator of the book is Todd who is the father of our main characters Colton; who is a small kid and grows thorughout the story. he is a little blonde boy.
plot: to find out the main problem of this book was nreally difficult but with some help it turned out that in some way it was heaven, not in a bad way because, well Colton got to meat Jesus but the rising actions for instance was Coloton getting really really sick and beacuse of a myricle not dying, but all this sickness that happend to Colton was for him to go to heaven. but as a really wierd thing happen, the solution of our problem was also heaven, because thanks that Colton went to heaven and after sometime he teaching everybody what he had learned in heaven and Jesus and everything it tought many people many things even his father you worked for the church. also as a solution to like the rasing action was that he went to heaven because he got to meat for instnce his grandfather who they called Pop that he couldnt meat him when his grandpa was alive because he died before Colton was born or a sister that he didnt knew he had who had died in Sonjas body while she was pregnant. this story is really suspence but like so sad suspence when Colton was sick because everything leaded form well ¨in the bad things¨ to worst! :(, but as i told you it was heaven what made up the story.

Applying:
in my book Colton who is the main character was a really sweet boy. i could tell that throughout all the story because he was always like with a positive attitude towards all his problems in the sickness that he had, also he was a very humble little boy because i think that as he had gone to heaven he could be like the more stuck up kid but no he was always welling to responde questions to who ever asked him about heaven and so.
in my book never happened what i thought was going to happen because it always changed it was really wierd but it was really good.

evaluating:
as i told you before this is one of the most amazing books i have ever read. it like seriouslly touched my heart. it was a really sad book it made me cried in some parts for example when hes so sick and they tell the mother Sonja and the sister Cassie and the father that the only thing they could do is pray, it made me cry. i would really recommend this book is really good and as i told before its a really story so that helped to know what where the real feeling of the family while going through all that pain, and also knowing exactly how Colton felt.
awsome book.

problems in middle school!

in middle school theres many problems.

1. bulling!!! i personally think that bulling is the most terrible of all the problems that middle school can have, because its the point when the persons are assing throw a very ruf time it can be family, friends, boyfriends or so but theres many proven examples where suecide is comited because of bulling.. i personally never had been bullied so i cant give an personal opinion towards how it feels but it must fell auful! i think that bulling is very hard to handle.
2. responsability: i think that responsability is a huge problem in middle school well kids are in this moment of life well not all but many looking for difrent things and not always bbeing responsable! por example with homework with hours with every and thats really bad. also one in this school is the getting late to class that has to do with responsability but anyways is a big one in this school.
3. excuses: one big problem is excuses eventhough sometimes their true know teahers wont belie them! :( but its true and cant deny it that excusses are a very common thing in middle school.

theres many other problems theres so many that i cant count but to me this are some of the most important ones. !

The Wizard of Oz


the wizard of oz is a piction story. this book is about Dorothy a girl from Kansas  and her dog Toto who was in a Tornado, she couldnt enter the place where they hidded from them so she just suddendly appierd in the land of munchkins. then all those little men told Dorothy that her house had just killed the wiked witch of the east, she had those silver shoes o her. then Glinda a good witch came and it all maked sence. well it seemed that the personn who had killed the wiked witch will be the one who kept those powerful shoes. Dprpthy asked how could she get back to Kansas and Glinda said only following the yellow brick road. that when the wiked witch of the west should up. the couldnt to anything to Dorothy in Munchkin land but once she got out of there to her way to the esmerald city the wiked witch could do anything.
on her way tp se Oz which was the only person that could help Dorothy go back home. gettin out of Munchkin land. On her way she meets a Scarecrow who needs a brain, a Tin Man who wants a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who desperately needs courage. finally they make their way to the esmerald city, with their only protection the ruby silver shoes.
once they get to the esmerald city the supose wonderful wizard tells them the only way he can make al their need and wishes is if they kill the wiked witch of the east, beacuse it it was all a failer the wonder full supose wiard seems like i just a normal person, Dorothy and her friends discover that before they get to the witch? or will she get them? or i heard it was only a dream a very bad dream…
main idea: i think that the main idea of the story is throw everything Dorothy has to pass until she gets to esmerald city, the wiked which was to to alot with this. for example throw all the yellow brick road.
plot: the plot is first of all well that dorothy eventually ended in the munchkin land so thats the first one the second one is the witch everything has to do with her, shes so bad. well and at the end it  i think that everything becuase it was all related and throw everythong that Dorothy, Toto and the others had to go throw.
characters: the main characters where:
Dorothy
the wiked witch of the west
Toto
Scarecrow
Tin man
Lion
Wizard of Oz
theme: i think that the most important theme or lesson is that no matter what you think you have or dont have you have to trust on yourself and be the best of you. i know that becuase the scarecrow becuase he tought he didnt have brain and he was the most inteligent of gruop.
conections: the connections that i made where mostly with the movie, in the movie the shoes that belonged to the witch where red and in the book silver. i also made a connections thats well i saw the musical of broadway Wiked thats the sotry about the wiked which, so i after saw it i know shes not that bad.
recomendations: i recomend this book, its very interesting and i think thats a great story with may details.
new tittle: if i couldnt call ir the Wizard of Oz that i think its a perfect name i could call it the yellow brick road.
setting: it frst takes place in kansas but then it moves to well the land of Oz.
