Early this tuesday in Sun chase apartments, Knoxville Tennessee Katy Nichols stabbed her 61 year old mother in the neck, chest and stomach and took off with her daughter after the events. She claims that a satanic colt has been putting spells on her for 3-4 days and that she is exhausted. She said her reasons were because she found out that her mother was the ring leader and that she was trying to kill her and her daughter. The 61 year old woman was rushed immediately to the hospital for surgery. She said that when she left her mother was still breathing after she had stabbed her 3 times. She claims that her mother is the anti-christ because she did not die! Her and her daughter hid until it was safe to come back. She is now in custody and her neighbors hope she gets the help she needs even though Katy is convinced she did everyone a favor. I believe Katy should go to a psychiatrist. The author has no bias.

Berlin Wall poem
“Hide in your room don’t go out”
From my window I could hear them shout
“The Berlin wall must go down”
My heart pounded on that day
I thought I could almost faint
August 13,1961 to November 9,1989
People were forced to stay on one side
I’d miss my brother who just went for a friendly ride
And if they dared they would be shot
I was scared I was terrified
The wall could kill
The wall could shut
The wall could control
The wall could close the gate for 28 years
The wall would doom and separate lives
The wall wasn’t afraid to keep doing this
So why would the wall be afraid to live in vain?
If the wall itself loves to slay

Lola is nothing but a big, mean cat
She lives with a bird and a rat
For she hates being the only cat
all she wants is a buddy
To catch the bird and the rat
She likes to scratch and take too many naps
Everyday she tries too many times
to catch the bird and the rat
but she just can’t Continue reading
Concrete Poem
Words
Those words
I see them flow in the wind
I see them fog with the sky
I hear them crying in the night
I see them looking up the stairs
I hear them crawling to my room
I hear them humming to the cat
I hear them ask for a wish to never leave again
I feel them jumping on my bed
I lift my head
There they are glancing at me
I look to them in the eye and then
there gone
Fading Away
Aside
Good things Fade Away
Bad things stay alive
What is up with life
Is it believing or is it thinking?
where is love
is he awake or is he asleep?
where is my heart
is it traped or is it free
where is everbody is there hope at least
What’s inside Melissa’s Brain!!!!!!
Here is some really difficult stuff Melissa was working on in Math Lab yesterday.
Intro and Guidelines for Student Web Logs (Blogs)
Dear OTA Student:
Your personal Learning Journal is designed to help you create a record of your quality work (and your growth over a year) in the 8 OTA Core Learning Strands— Music, Science, Math, Seminar, English, Art, History, & Outdoor Ed.
The Categories available in the sidebar are set to match those 8 Strands and you should mark every post with one or more of those categories.
Why Create An Online Learning Journal?
- Blogs are very powerful content-management systems: which means they allow you to create a beautiful, multimedia record of a year’s worth of work and retrieve it instantly when you need it (by just clicking on the category of posts you want to see or by using the SEARCH Box to find all posts with the word “music” or “football” etc.)— but only if you use the Categories!
- Publishing your work on your Web Log ( = “Blog“) will often be the last step in earning a Passing Grade on a Project, or extra credit.
- When you are ready to apply to high school (choice programs like IB or an art magnet, or a private school) your Blog will be a Portfolio of all your best work that might just help you get in.
- You work hard to earn a passing grade on your OTA Projects, why throw them away? Now you can keep them, share them, go back and improve them as you learn more. If the work’s worth doing it’s worth keeping.
To Create Your Learning Journal You Will Have to Learn to:
- Scan, convert, and upload Text and Images (working with .doc, .pages, .pdf, .txt, .jpb, .png, inspiration, etc. files). Note: before you can upload word or pages documents you must convert them to pdfs or images.
- Create Slideshows and manage image databases.
- Edit and convert movies and music or sound files (working with .mov, .wmv, .qt, .mp3 etc. files), and
- Use the WordPress dashboard (content management system) to create, edit, categorize, and publish posts)
Things You Can Change On Your OTA Blog:
- The Header–from pre-selected photos in second quarter (Q2). In Q3 you can customize it with your own photography or artwork.
- The Picture of the Week–you add a new picture every week… from your own or classmate or teacher’s photos or scans or artwork.
