Trucks

Riding in my dad’s truck is like heaven. My truck is a piece of gold. At first it’s cold but then it’s warm. It roared like a lion when he turns the key I love hearing the trailer rattle. When it is full of cattle. It’s a 1 ton red I think we need a shed. I could ride in it... forever!

Dirt the poem

I dig low but I have to go I look up and down but I certainly don’t frown. Where I go is school. It takes away my digging time on the 7th chime. In the end I shall not offend school. Back to digging now and all I see is a cow? I look in my hole a minute ago. It’s big and being myself a pig. I love the dirt. I dig deep the dirt a game I could beat. But then calls supper and I had to eat. And life led on and showed me a pick. I use it now alot you see for a bunch of kids made by me. Every hole I make, after I’m done I sleep for what seems to be a week.

Eighth- and Ninth-grade English student opinions

Eighth- and ninth-graders learning how to write an editorial (in the form of a Letter to the Editor) chose as the subject the current, controversial topic of arming educators in school. It is important to teach students how to express their views and to know that their views count.

Editorials result:

Nine students were against arming educators; six students believed it was a valid idea as a detriment.

Excerpts from Letters to the Editor:

The future of social media

Social media is ever changing and the future of it is unclear. First, we started with Myspace, then Facebook and then came Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram. Although Myspace has died, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram and YouTube are all alive and thriving. Social media has taken over this whole generation and basically the whole world. According to Statista.com, Facebook currently has 1.2 billion monthly active users, Twitter has 330 million, Instagram has 800 million, Snapchat has 150 million and YouTube has one billion.

Motocross is back in Central Montana

After what seemed like a lifetime for the motocross community of Central Montana, it is now official that Benchland Motorsports Complex of Denton will be holding the final race in the High Country Motocross Association series of Montana. Although this is a great thing for the riders and the community, holding a race comes with hard work, dedication, and a great amount of money. I spoke with Clayton Sturgill, the President of BLMX, for more on what’s to come.

A recipe for a Shakespearean Tragedy

Add one set with a wall covered in vines, And two separated lovers Add one plot which could have been solved already, and Sprinkle in a flawed plan with no communication. After this, put in a murder and someone screaming, “I am slain.” Now mix in a plan that will be easily foiled with a single action. After the plan rises and pops, have one major character mysteriously die off stage. When it cools add one insane character, lady Macbeth, perhaps.
