My grammar rule was complex and compound/complex sentences. A complex sentence is made up of 1 independent and 1 dependent clause and are brought together by a conjunction. An example of a complex sentence is “Because the winter is cold, I like to sit inside and drink hot coco.” This is a example because the “because the winter is cold” is a dependent clause as it is not a complete thought and the “I like to sit inside and drink hot cocoa” is a independent because it is a complete clause. A compound/complex is a sentence is made up of 2 independent and 1 dependent clause. An example of this is “Though Mitchell prefers watching romantic films, he rented the latest spy thriller, and he enjoyed it very much.” This is an example because it has two independent clauses (Though Mitchell prefers watching romantic films and he rented the latest spy thriller) and one dependent clause (he enjoyed it very much)An independent clause is a string of words that has a subject and a verb and is a complete thought. An example is “The president arrived” which has both a verb and a subject and is a complete thought. A dependent clause is a string of words that has a subject and a verb but is not a complete thought. An example is “When the sun sets” which has both a verb and a subject but isn’t a complete thought. There is one more component called a compound sentence which is 2 or more independent clauses put together with a conjunction. An example of this is “The president arrived when the sun went down.”

Stop Motion – “The Sea Devil”
Hello its Cole. I am very sorry for the absence with my film but there were a couple errors. This project is around 300 pictures and 2 minutes long. It is about the short story “The Sea Devil,” this film involves music, narration, voices and creative ideas. My part in this project is almost everything you see before you, i worked on moving and modeling characters, sets and the script. This was a very fun project and i had a blast making it.
Thanks, Cole McDonell

Gender Inequality Article
My Article is about Justin Trudeau taking a stand against gender inequality. i chose this article because i live in Canada and Justin Trudeau is a important man in our country. this article relates to the story we read because Trudeau talks about him being a “feminist” and believing women can do anything men can do, which is a big part in the story.
“Individuals and interest groups are trying to roll back women’s rights, and politicians are giving into the pressure, shamefully campaigning to undo women’s hard won victories,” This is a quote by Trudeau which i find very interesting.

- The boys try to pressure the girls by bullying them and taking away activities the girls enjoy to do.
Elements of fiction:
- Elma is telling the story. First person view
- Person vs person, person vs society. Setting: old school, rural area, small town.
- The protagonist is the girls because they believe they can do anything a man can do and I agree with that.
- The author is trying to reach a touchy subject, women equality and skipping school
