The BFG

Areas of Strength (with evidence): The beauty of the new curriculum is that it allows teachers to have creativity over how and what they teach and allows teachers to create opportunities for learning outlined in goal 8. My ability to utilize relevant learning resources and technology in the classroom has also supported the development of critical thought processes. In a lesson I created for Language Arts, students were able to listen to story through YouTube. I think it was important for me to…

Other books and series’ that I enjoyed reading during my time at Bullard TALENT, were the Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games Trilogy, the Nancy Drew series, several books created by Roald Dahl (such as Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the BFG), the Divergent trilogy, the Pretty Little Liars series (I am currently reading…

Many people work hard for the good of themselves, the rewards and maybe just do it because they want to. I could mow the lawn, do the laundry, clean my bedroom all without even a break for payment or just because I was just told to do so. Whatever! Doing stuff can be hard working because maybe you might feel tired after you are woken up to do your work, or maybe you are just lazy. But besides all of that. There are even more difficult or even life risking to do. And some or most people are…

Roald Dahl is a famous author who had written many works throughout his life. He did not have an easy life despite how successful his career was. Death was a recurrence in his life; however, his children stories reflected a more cheerful atmosphere. He also wrote screenplays and horror stories; he even the script for the movies based on his books. Roald Dahl is more than just an author of children's books; he became a highly revered author that will not be forgotten. Roald Dahl was born in…

My grandfather lives by the quote, "laugh, live, love, leave a legacy." He does just that. Ever since I was young, I have always had a strong connection with him. We are the jokesters of our family-together we laugh. We have deep, serious, and important conversations-together we learn. There is not a single soul in the world that I feel more loved by-together we love. Because we laugh, live, and love together-on me he will leave a legacy. My grandfather 's name is Jack Donald Harpool. That name…

Good morning, Kate! Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Also, thank you for your patience. Writing for TGM is just a hobby right now, so I've got my everyday life to juggle and sometimes this gets put on the back burner. The next TGM issue won’t come out until April, so we've got plenty of time! I also need about a dozen hi-res pics to be able to use in the article. Do you think that you have some you'd be willing to share? If you feel up to it, I think it would be great fun to…

children’s author would be that crazy and interesting, but nobody's ever really research Roald Dahl. Roald Dahl was born on September 13, 1916. He is currently famous for writing classic children's books like Charlie and the Chocolate factory, The BFG, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, etc… The crazy thing is that he has done more than just children's books. Roald Dahl has done many important things in his life other than writing children's books, such as medical advancements, being a british…

enjoyed reading it. It was an adventure book about a kid with a dragon. One of the main components I remember was him packing his bag with different gadgets that he was going to use on his trip to see his dragon. In one of the preceding years I read the BFG by Roald Dahl and liked it a lot so I started to look for books by Roald Dahl. I remember reading so many books by him including Fantastic Mr. Fox, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Matilda. In grade school we read a number of books for…

Rushing. Rushing. Rushing. My mom and I, we were always rushing. Late every time. Everytime. We couldn’t be late. We just couldn’t. It was too much. It was too rude. “Too bad,” she told me, “At least we’re coming.” It’s a shame we live so far away from Warren, the central hub of all things Haddican, but every year we come back for Margaret. Back toward the memories, back toward the chain that strangles us and forces us to think, and to cry. ☆☆☆ As we sped through the winding mountain road,…
