A. How Introduce.

B.  The Teacher of the month award goes to, Ms Dunlop for her useful class materiel, realistic work load, and great sense of humor!

                                               II.            BODY ONE-useful class materiel

A.    One of the first areas that Ms D’s class info will be most vital is college essays.

1.      Many friends and relatives,  several of whom are in collage, that have that know my mom is a comp expert but haven’t taken her class will ask her for advise and help when needing to write an essay…

2.      My cousin Michael is one of those people who must send his paper to my mother to make sure it’s okay but those who have already taken her class can be confident in their writing abilities

1.      At some point or another someone will ask you to check their work on a report, essay, book…

2.

1.      One time…

2.      one week there is only one week between classes so we only had to finish our outline for coming paper

B.      another perk to her homework is that how she gives it to her students

1.      know how different some minds can be, Ms D always gives our homework verbally(telling us), visually(writing it down), and Blankly(giving handouts and showing us what we will do),

                                       IV.            BODY THREE-great sense of humor

A.    All teachers have their own funny or not so funny quirks and Ms Ds is most seen through her random “rabbit trails” of thoughts

1.      Almost all the time she is in more than one discussion at a time, like when she randomly announced that she had found a good math curriculum while teaching a comp class though she’d meant to say it to the teachers discussing math curriculums IN THE OTHER ROOM!

B.      Unlike many teachers she appreciates witty, but not rude, remarks and funny, but not stupid, puns.

1.      Once, while… 

                                            V.            CONCLUSION

The other four poems

CLERIHEW

Poor Jacob Dunlop
Has to go to coop
To take class' and  be educated
And when fall asleep, harshly berated!

TERSE VERSE

A popular and commonly loved young flower

An,"AWESOME BLOSSOM"

TERSE VERSE

A frozen version of teeth inflected wounds

A,"FROST BITE"

LIMERICK

We should always have lots of trees
Cuz they are the homes of the bees
Without our fine bugs
We'll all become thugs
Cuz our coffee needs honey from bees

The Famous Sir Lamous!!(couplets made into a story)

               If you can't handle a violent story
Go away now for my story is gory

You see there once was a man with a sword
Whom often found himself unbearably board

So in search of some fun he strode into town
And while searching around he saw a quick flash of brown

He sprang  into action swinging his weapon
And soon the flash of brown was sliced into seven

Blood squirted everywhere and fur was aflyin
But more flashes came and more were diein

After that day the man was quite famous
He began to be called the mighty sir lamous

And that my good friends was the very first day
That a pest control man came by our towns way.

WeekXII-Spirit vs Ghost

               I have given a lot of thought on the hotly debated topic of whether the ghost of King Hamlet was meant as a demon, seeking to destroy lives and cause extreme chaos, or a spirit, searching for revenge to give himself peace; and, I have come to the following conclusion.  Two out of the three very well done presentations of the play made the "ghost" a seemingly powerful essence demanding, NOT asking for, revenge.  Also, the one version that wasn't presented the same way, was far from a restless spirit in asking for it's deserved revenge.  If the so called "spirit" was as powerful as demonstrated, why not take revenge its self and save Hamlet the trouble? In every story someone comes out happy or victorious. With the pile of bodies, ruined friendships, and destroyed trusts I think a demon would be the only happy one in the group.  Because of this reasons I believe that the "ghost" is a demon not a spirit.

WeekXII-One last Hamlet

              For my last Hamlet production, I chose the David Tennant version.  Mostly I selected it because I have heard that he was the best "Doctor Who" so far, and I was skeptical of his acting abilities.  The Producer of the film was The Royal Shakespeare Company, the director was Gregory Doran, and the stars were David Tennant(Hamlet) and Patrick Stewart(Claudius). You never see the outside world, but it would seem that the setting was late 1900's in the palace of the king of England.  To be honest I thought that David Tennant's appraisers didn't do him justice. He seemed to outshine the rest of the movie with his acting, especially with his crazy act that was even better than the Branagh or Gibson version. The only other actor that fit with Tennant's ability, was Patrick Stewart (the bald dude from x-men and star trek). He seemed to portray a more in depth Claudius than the ones in the other versions.

WeekXI-No Secrets (for once)

                 It seems clear that when Hamlet says to Ophelia,"The players cannot keep counsel-they'll tell all." he's means that they reveal the truth and not hold back.  The question is, why?  In his new state of mind he has taken a liking to mind games, predictions, and secrets.  Which may be it, because the play does show both his mother's betrayal, and his fathers murder.  is that really the only possibility though.  Could be it possible that he's trying to give reason to his madness for Ophelia? later he does exclaim that,"Forty thousand brothers could not with all their quantity of love make up my sum." perhaps this is just his insanity kicking in, but it's still an interesting thought.

WeekXI-Ophelia Treatment

               Hamlets treatment of Ophelia is in the nicest of words, rough; Not that she didn't deserve it. He seemed to want her to feel sorry for betraying him, because right after the beginning pleasantries of their conversation, it starts to sound more like an interrogation.  He directly insults her honesty, saying that she is been deceiving him by seduction."To a nunnery, go." are his parting words to her which could might mean two different things. It might mean she should save herself from continuing her deceitful ways, or that she should go back to he father, the "Fishmonger", and leave him be.
