M.S.F.L.

The M.S.F.L. Competition starts on October. The participants and Mrs. Liban had a meeting on August 25. The participants were Savannah, Joan, Kaeloni, Blaire, Mark, Lizzele, Yanni, SooHee, Dong Hee, and me. Practices are every Friday on 3:00 – 4:00. If you went to the meeting and agreed to join the competition, you can not quit. If you are a representative of the school, you can skip a competition and join the next one. There are six competitions all in all. Mrs. Liban said, “You must join the competition because you want to and not because of the extra credits.”

The events you can join are Extemporaneous Speaking, Original Oratory, Duet Acting, Humorous Interpretation, Dramatic Interpretation, Cross-Examination Debate, Lincoln-Douglas Debate, Public Forum Debate, Parliamentary Debate, Storytelling, Prose Interpretation, Poetry Interpretation, Impromptu Speaking, Declamation, and Television Commercial. Each school is limited to 45 total entries. A school may not enter more than 6 students in any one event. Schools may enter students on the waiting list for each event, up to a maximum of 6 students wait-listed per event. Schools will be notified on June 12th if they will be removed from a waiting list. We will all do our best. We hope to win in the regional.

Rocko The Rock

My rock is from Saipan. It lives in my backyard. The color of my rock is brown on one side and green on the other side. Its shape is kind of like a triangle. If it had a gender, I would guess that it was a boy. The rock was wet when I got it.

If the rock could talk, it would probably tell me to return him to where he belongs. He would say that because he misses his friends and family. He might even worry that he will fired from his job.

I will color him before I return him. He could really use a makeover. I would even clean him and splash some cologne on him. He would look better than ever.

Even though he has a bad boy look, I think that he is a nice rock. He even said that he is kind and friendly. I learned that his favorite color is blue, he loves hanging out with his friends, and his real name is Rocko.

I couldn't have chosen a better rock than Rocko. There is no other rock smarter and nicer as Rocko. He is one of a kind. This assignment was great. I got to use my imagination and my sense of humor.
