Quarantine Cup Challenge #2

Very Serious Quiz Results


The color of the comment indicates the team. Points were awarded to each of these responses based on creativity and entertainment value.


QUESTION 1: DL  stands for Distance Learning. In the context of cyber school, what else could DL stand for?

Dogs Learning 

                                                      Daily Lunch (I eat lunch every day)

                                                Dysfunctional Lackadaisical

                                                 Data Lost


QUESTION 2: Comments/Suggestions/Things you need help with for Distance Learning:

My very serious problem with not taking very serious serious quizzes not very seriously. Serious.

Create an assignment where we all send each other chocolate chip cookies.



QUESTION 3: Ideas for staying connected during Distance Learning:
Google Hangouts, Zoom, other virtual hangouts, email, un-virtual hangouts, regular hanging out (six feet apart of course), videogames, and seriously very serious methods

 We could all download a game and play it together

Here's what I'm thinking. We all sneak out of quarantine--emphasis on sneak. Then we go to an open field. Someone has to bring wood and nails (I don't know who yet). And someone has to bring the melons. The rest we will figure out when we get there.

We are all sent on a scavenger hunt to find a treasure. As individuals, we struggle for days to find the treasure. Once we reach it, we learn that it is infected. We are forced to spend our days together in a quarantine tent in the park.

 We could all just go to school in full hazmat suits

 WE CAN ALL VIDEO OURSELVES DROPPING WATERMELONS OFF OUR HOME ROOF!! (safely of course) Or another idea could be to get an assigned person and mail them letters of encouragement without return addresses and they can guess who it is- Kind of like a quarantine secret santa!


QUESTION 4: Share Something Entertaining:


Something I did over spring break and something you should add to your bucket list: Illegally going onto beaches (because or COVID-19), barefoot (of course) and running away from police who are chasing people off of the beaches in their trucks, while helicopters are circling you from above. What is this? the Hunger Games?

 Baloney is just a hot dog pancake.

I did not trip and fall, I attacked the floor and I believe I am wining. I just finally discovered what's wrong with my brain. On the left side there is nothing right and on the right side, there is nothing left.

Well when I was brushing my teeth i started choking on the toothpaste and intead of helping me my mom was laughing and taking a video and sent it to my aunts and uncles

 If you need 144 roles of toilet paper for a 14 day quarantine, you probably should have been seeing a doctor wayyyy before COVID-19

POINTS EARNED TODAY:
     Blue Team: 4
     Red Team: 6
     Green Team: 5
     Orange Team: 3 (The melon idea = 2 points 😆)

 TOTAL POINTS:
     Blue Team: 9

     Orange Team: 13

Quarantine Cup Grammar

Image
Trust Eight Graders to turn an average grammar assignment into something...well...a little weird! We're studying sentence structure, and when challenged to vary the types of sentences they use in their writing, this is what they came up with. If you are grammatically inclined, you can look for simple, compound, complex, compound-complex sentences, short sentences, and parallel structure. Or you can just enjoy the view of life in middle school. (Color of type represents the Quarantine Cup color.) Team points are tallied at the end! Honorable Mentions: I have to write a paragraph. It must be good, and it must be clever. I will write out my thoughts when I think of them. If I want a good grade, I should follow the instructions and I should make my story interesting.  Everyone likes descriptions of nature, or legends in sports. What about heroic descriptions of nature games? It's rainy today. I should get some food, and I should watch a movie after I finish this. I think I'

Punctuation: The Cookie Round

The following sets of punctuation mark submissions are each worth 4 points in the Quarantine Cup Tournament, mainly due to the subject matter and clever use of story line! Again, color of the text indicates the color of the team): I put flour, chocolate chips, and eggs in the chocolate chip cookies. The cookies weren’t ready yet, so I put them back in the oven. The cookies, which were warm and gooey, were finally ready. I did everything that I needed to to prepare for the baking: put my hair up, put on an apron, and have all of the ingredients.  Cookie making is not for everyone: they have to know what they are doing and not burn the cookies! The cookies that I made were perfect; they had the right amount of crunch.  I went to get the cookies out of the oven-- and I froze. I made twenty-four cookies. She [Jaclyn] made the best cookies in the world.  Jaclyn Brouwer (2006-present) made amazing chocolate chip cookies. To make chocolate chip c
