Memo to the Author


To: Zoey Dean

From: Kanika

Date: Feb. 26th, 2010

Re: Tall Cool One

Dear Zoey Dean,

I love your books. Right now, I am reading “Tall Cool One” in the A-list series. I enjoyed the way you made Samantha like a real girl and not the typical size 2 Californian stereotype. I also enjoyed that Cammie had a softer side and wasn’t always so mean to everyone in her life. I didn’t understand why Dee liked Poppy better than Sam, even though Sam was the same age as Dee and they had been friends for many years. I was also confused on how Sam knew that Anna was at the Las Casitas resort, even though Anna did not tell her. If I could change something, it would be Anna and Sam being lost and kidnapped.

Thanks,

Kanika

Proud Piece #2

I chose this poem for my proud piece because I really enjoyed writing it and it was something that came very naturally to me as I wrote it.


The Mummy


I am the Mummy

I needed my tomb,

My home


I could not let go

It was so far,

but so close

The attraction was unbearable

The intensity building

I needed to leave

but,

I reach

and no one is there

to

save me.


I stay

Alone.

My life is over

I was revered,

Loved by many,

But, I feel no

HAPPINESS.


I am dead, but wanted ,

needed, yearned for,

My jewels they want

NOT ME
I AM KING TUT

Interesting Facts about the Food and Shelter of the Indus Valley



  1. One interesting fact that I learned when researching for my project was that the Indus Valley people kept chickens called the Indian Red Jungle Fowl, and they looked nothing like the chickens we see today. The chickens were eaten and the eggs were used for food.

  2. Another interesting fact that I learned about the Indus Valley people was that they were great farmers. They grew millet, wheat, barley, rice, sorghum, and corn.

  3. The last interesting fact that I learned about the Indus Valley people was that they had lots of sweets. They had the jujube, grapes and dates. They also had sugar, which came from honey.
