Stiletto Stoners 3344

How can such a successful person be addicted to marijuana? After watching the video on stiletto stoners, I was surprised to find out how many executives and high power individuals were addicted. When children look up to these high powered people, what will they think when they find out? Is marijuana the key to success? No it is not. By challenging yourself and studying hard you can accomplish anything without the use of drugs. Children who look up to these people will become confused on the right path to go. We must become the perfect model to these children and show them how to become "successful".

Narrative
A narrative is a type of writing that is used to tell stories.Writing a narrative can be difficult. This type of writing needs to have a beginning, middle, and end.
A narrative is a piece of writing that consist of a basic story elements. These elements are characters, setting, and plot. Characters are the specific people in the story who play important roles. Having a beginning, middle, and end to your writing is also important because this will help your story make a lot of sense. Using setting in your writing gives information on when and where your story takes place. A plot is most necessary when writing a narrative. A plot consists of a conflict, rising action and climax. Rising action and climax is the high point of the story. This highpoint is when the most exciting part of the story takes places. After this part of the story happens the down fall or conclusion is then written. The down fall of the story is when everything is brought into consluion( a resting stop).

MPG Purpose
I decided to use chronology for my MGP. I thought this learning object was great for students to learn.
Chronology helps students understand the important parts of stories that they are reading and it also helps them identify part developments of the story. Learning the importance of chronology is crucial to children who lack reading comprehension. During reading exercises, students can identify parts of a book such as the beginning, middle, end, climax, etc. Learning these types of purposes in a book allows the student to understand the story and what role it will play for further reading. You can allow students to cut and paste sentences in the correct sequence. Students will eventually learn how to correctly identify main ideas and key terms of chronology as well.
