Graphic Novel Post

In class we have different reading units like non fiction, social issues, and fantasy. Our next unit is graphic novels. A heathcote teacher that retired, is now teaching us about graphic novels. The first thing we did was that we read graphic novels. Just to get a taste of it. Then, we started to get into jotting about our graphic novel, and we also started to get into harder books. After we finished that, we started to write a book, with a partner, or by yourself. I decided to do it with a partner, Om is my partner. It took us a lot of time and effort but we finally finished it. Please read down below.

Spanish field trip

A few days ago my class went on a field trip. The field trip was organized by my spanish teacher, Sr. Johnson. We went to a peruvian restaurant. When we got to the restaurant our spanish teacher gave us a sheet of paper to fill out at the end. It was written in spanish but it said “What is _______’s favorite food? Does he or she like water or the spanish drink? What food did you mostly dislike”? It was different from when I usually go out toeat. You would not just order food. The waiters would put dishes out one by one. There were four dishes. That is called family style. On the side of each dish was rice (it was boss). The first dish was my favorite. It was steak ( in spanish, bistec), and I love steak when my dad makes it on the grill at home so I knew that I would like the steak, and I was right. Asher and Harry, who were at my table, also liked the steak a lot. The next dish was grilled chicken( in spanish, pollo a la parrilla). It was also so good, but I still liked the steak better. After the chicken was fish (in spanish, pescado) I love most fish. The one that they had was okay, but it was better because of the sauce. The last and final dish was spaghetti and steak. I only had the steak and it was so good. That was the last dish and I was so full. Sr. Johnson asked us to fill out the worksheet that he gave us. We did. Most people liked the steak the best, but Harry said that the spaghetti was his favorite, and his least favorite was the steak. I was surprised, but I guess that is his opinion. After that I talked to my friends and asked them how they thought the food was, and they thought it was also really good too. I was glad I went because I got to try different foods and hang out with my friends.
