 After Robin Hood died the Merry men for the first time were very sad. They buried Robin Hood in the Sherwood Forest under the tree that Robin Hood loved so much. The men took an oath that the band would still stay together. “Methinks Little John should be the new leader”, said Allan a Dale. Everyone agreed. “Why thank you, fine young man,” said little John. Little John was made the new leader.

     A few days later an announcement was made that the archery competition would happen for the third year. The men were very excited. Little John said, “ Methinks that I hast already had my glory winning last competition. Thou should try the competition Allen a Dale. Thou art a great archer methinks. We need money to eat meat and drink, for we have little meat and drink. Winning the competition we would get money for meat and drink. Me has a disguise for you to dress in  and thou wife has some clothes you could also wear for your disguise Allan a Dale. “Methinks I’ll use thou disguise.” said Allen a Dale. Little John gave Allen a Dale the disguise. Allen a Dale was dressed in baby blue cloth and given a wig with ginger hair. Will Stutely said, “thou should name thyself Henry a Dale, Allan a Dale.” Methinks that is a splendid idea”, said Allan a Dale. 

      Allan a Dale dressed in the disguise the very next day and set off for the competition. When he came to the competition there was no one there at all. Allan was very confused and then he saw the many guards approaching to kill him. Allan was begging for his life because his wife was with child. The guards took no interest in his plea and he was going to be hanged. This scheme had been planned for a long time to catch Robin Hood’s merry men. They hung  Allan a Dale and they were able to catch the other merry men and they hung them too.

  There are five types of books; novel, short story, novella, drama, and poem. I am going to talk about three, novel, short story, and novella. First, a novel is the most common type of book. Many, many books are novels. A novel is a long prose narrative that describes fictional characters and events usually in the form of a sequential story. Five examples of novels are…

• Moby-Dick
• The Great Gatsby
• A Tale of Two Cities
• A Knight of the White Cross
• The Dragon and the Raven

   Next, I will talk about a short story. A short story is not a story that is short. A short story makes use of plot resonance, and other dynamic components to a far greater degree than is typical of an anecdote, yet a far lesser degree than a novel. To make this definition simpler a short story has only one plot line and not many like novels.  Five examples of a short story is…

•  The Lottery
• The Metamorphosis
• The Tell-Tale Heart
• The Monkey’s Paw
• A Good Man Is Hard To Find

   Last, I am going to talk about a novella. A novella generally features fewer conflicts than a novel, yet more complicated ones than a short story. Novellas is generally longer than a short story, but has a more simplified plot line as compared to a novel. Five examples of novellas are…

• A Christmas Carol
• Animal Farm
• The Little Prince
• The Turn of the Screw
• Heart of Darkness

 These are only out of the five different types of books. 

Math- My teacher taught me about ratios.

History- My teacher taught me about Genghis Khan.

Science- This was part 10 of the robotics project to make the robot functional by itself.

English- My teacher taught me about poems. I was assigned to read chapters 11-13 of the book, Robin Hood.

Yesterday me and my family went to the zoo with a homeschool group. We first started with a little lessons on some spooky creatures like snakes, tarantulas, and bats. We learned a little about each one of these animals and why they are considered spooky. We even got to pet the snake! After this we got to actually go in the zoo and saw many animals. Zebras, giraffes, flamingos, an anaconda, fish, alligators, hippos, crested porcupines, lions, a tiger, leopards, an okapi, an emu, an anteater, a bush dog, and many, many more.
