Caught 'Ya Quiz #3
Next week is our third Caught 'Ya Quiz. By now, you should be familiar with the format, but remember that you can always look at your old quizzes for review. If you have any questions, go ahead and post them. Maybe a classmate can answer them, or maybe you'll even get some personal assistance from your teacher. It may not be like Margie, but it's a pretty good alternative!

What's a Margie?...
ReplyDeleteHi, Gabriel -
ReplyDeleteMargie is a character in a short story we read. Maybe one of my students can answer your question more clearly!

ReplyDeleteFirst of all Margie is a person in are book that has a friend that finds a book. They are in the future so they never have seen a book with pages or paper. The book is on school and they imagine life with a teacher and classmates. Instead of life with a robotic tutor in there room. The book is "The Fun They Had" by Isaac Asimov
ReplyDeleteMargie is the main character in a short story we read called The Fun They Had. This is a science fiction story written by Isaac Asimov. In the story, Margie's brother finds a book about our school of today (the setting is far into the future). Both of the children are fascinated about the idea of sitting in a classroom with a human teacher and many other students, especially Margie. What Mrs. Zuri means is that Margie is taught at home by a robotic instructor and she won't be EXACTLY like a home instructor, but close to it :)

ReplyDelete..... guys your explaining so complicately yes that was bad grammer :P
ReplyDeleteLoksondo (and all posters) There are so many things wrong with that grammar (including the spelling of grammar) - fix it before submitting it, or next time it won't be posted!
ReplyDeleteIf you get into the habit of proofreading and editing, your writing will only get stronger. By the time you get to eighth grade, all this grammar stuff will be a piece of cake.
ReplyDeleteHI MRS. ZURI!! you told me to comment on your blog today so i am. YAY!
ReplyDelete-lisa :D
Hi Ms. Zuri!!!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is cool! :D

The Story was very ironic! Same way we feel but different. We want the future schooling!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm not in this class but I want to remind everyone to study hard. I do not remember how hard the Caught Ya Tests were in sixth grade (because I am now in 8th), but the Caught Ya Tests here are pretty hard. Study hard and eat your veggies (unlike me!) :)
ReplyDeleteI think that this blog is an awesome idea! We can all share our comments and express ourselves! It is also very fun to look at other people's comments and respond to them. So cool and a great idea, Mrs. Zuri! :)
ReplyDeleteTara - I am so glad you feel that way. I know that if you and your classmates make use of this blog, it will be a great resource for you!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tara. Its awesome! Never have I had a teacher who did this.
ReplyDeleteAnd to Alex Covas , Thats a lie! Veggies do not help,look at me I eat them allot and I am still not over 58 inches yet like some other people have promised! The only thing I can rely on is a growth spurt! (Hopefully the doctor wasn't lying when he said that one)
-still waiting for a miracle, Jake
Thanks to everyone for answering my question.
ReplyDeleteA question for all the 606 kids (and Mrs. Zuri)-
ReplyDeleteIs the Caught 'Ya quiz tomorrow or on Tuesday? A very important question, please respond ASAP!
-Tara :)
Tara,
ReplyDeleteI wrote it on the agenda in class and the class calendar - it is definitely scheduled for Tuesday.
This is a nice idea and, obviously, from the student comments, they enjoy the exchange of idea's and information. Perhaps I should set one up for our reading classes?
