QUOTES!!

Ok... I'm trying to find a quote for Pippin, it's from the movie though, (not part of the 7 required, doing 3 on this 1 page). But... I know the quote, it's when they had just met Aragorn, and they were walking and Pippin (think it was Pippin, if Merry please tell me) was unpacking the food, and Aragorn was like we just ate, and Pippin was like, "Breakfast yes, but it's time for tea (or something)." And Merry is like I don't think he knows about tea. And Pippin is like, "But he knows about lunch, supper, dinner, and elevensies, Merry he knows about elevensies right??" Does anyone know the exact wording. I'd look in the movie but I don't own it. I'm gonna look on youtube.... if you do please tell me!!

~HANNAH!!

HEY GUYS.... im new at this

OH MY GOSH I FUGURED OUT HOW TO POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry im really new at this..... and this is Caroline MacLure... sorry i didnt know what i was doing when i made this accout so i used laxgirl595 so sorry again!!!! but i was also wondering what should our title be for our virtue project about...... lie i dont really get what we are suposed to do.... well i know that we are supposed to make a title but like what about????..... sorry now im just bablling on ugh i have a tendencey to do that on the computer when there is no one that is staring at me like im crazy........

Vocabulary Words

You will not have to use all the vocabulary words on the unit test. I will select a smaller list of words for you to work from. I have included all the words on the vocab sheets that you might not recognize.

Bree

Dear Caroline:

The Hobbits left the Shire when they entered the old forest and were rescued by Tom Bombadil. Once they left Tom they are headed out of the lands of the Hobbits. This is what makes Bree unique. They are now entering the realm of men. As far as Barliman how does he behave as the innkeeper of the Prancing Pony? How would you describe his character? Hope this helps!

Homework Update

Homework Sept 29

1) Read the virtue sheets I passed out today and note any questions you have about what the virtues mean.
2) Do reading comp questions for chapter 9.
3) Memorize Luke 10:27 for Wednesday.

again, just checkin

ok for unit we had to memorize luke 10:27, do the Reading comp and plot outlines for ch. 9 in the Fellowship of the ring. Is there anything else?

Vocab.

Mr. Buresh,
For the vocab. that you wrote for the chapters do we have to know all of them for the unit test? Do we have to know any of them or which one do we have to know?

Reading Comp. ?s

I read the chapter 9 and I still did not fully understand the answers to questions. These are the ?s that I did not get:

What kind of people live in Bree? How is Bree different than any other town in Middle Earth?

What kind of innkeeper is Barliman Butterbur?

so I was wandering if you guys could help me with the answers or just tell me the answers.

Thank you.
See u guys 2morrow!!

20 questions per team Caroline.

Homework Update

I hope you all have recovered from RVR! My weekend has been even more challenging. Yesterday I got caught in the storm on a 65 mile bike ride. At times I couldn't see and then coming through Ruxton I had to ride through water up to my knees!! Ruxton Road and turned into a river. Then I got home to find my basement flooded!

As for homework, on Monday
1) your discussion questions through chapter 8 are due.
2) The plot outlines are to help you track the story and should be completed as you complete the discussion questions. I will not grade these though.
3) Your jeopardy questions are due. The "final jeopardy" big question is only one per group.
4) Your translation of Luke 10:27 is due.
5) Your virtue journal is ongoing as you have time.

This sounds like more than it is so please don't stress over it!
