Excursion

EXCURSION. Can you guess what it means? It means a brief pleasure trip. I've been on a few excursions as far as I remember. Las Vegas, Florida, Los Angeles, San Diego, Massachusetts, San Simeon, Anaheim (many times, especially when in mom's tummy) etc. That's how much I could remember. Now, I think that excursions are pleasure trips where you stay in a hotel for at least one day. Not a year. I think a year would be when you live there. Excursions are "brief" trips. So, I would think that the maximum for an excursion is a week. If you have been on any excursions, pick your favorite and tell me about your trip. Bye for now!

Evolution

Evolution means the process of formation or growth. For example, the evolution of the English language. Evolution doesn't always have to be about humans. It can be just about anything that forms. There's also the evolution of history. There's many things. You name it. I'm sorry this is a short one but I don't know what else to type. Bye!

Evasive

Evade is evasive's base word. It means to get away with trickery. Now, before I was going to write this post, I was attacked by a horrible monster in the computer! Just kidding. So, in the computer, there was a picture of a young man that they "tried" to make him look like an old man. He doesn't look like one though. He looks like a monster with the wrinkles they drew on him in "computer graphics." He looks like Frankenstein with no green skin though. I of course knew that they used "computer graphics" on that dude. Anyway, bye! Oh, and happy spring break! (For those of you who have it this week.

Paper Roller Coaster

Book report Apr '10 - My Board Game

SR's Hodge Podge

Number of Players

Two

Game Board Setup

1 Main Board
8 maze board pieces
8 Action Point Cards (APCs) (4 each)
2 Action Figures
6 Peanut butter cups


1.Pick a random player.
2.Shuffle the 8 boards and arrange it in 2 columns and 4 rows.
3.Place the peanut butter cups in the squares marked with energy.
4.Place the Action Figures on the start (car) square on the main board on either side.

You are all set to start!

How to play

1.Each player has to arrange the action card in the ascending order
2.During the first turn, the player can only play 2 AP
3.Each AP lets the player make one action. The actions can be moving a square, rotating the quadrant 90 degrees more than once, opening the door or closing the door
4.If the player uses AP 2, then flip the 2 APCs upside down.
5. The next player has to play equal or greater by 1 AP.
6. If a player ends up on an energy square and there is a peanut butter cup which the player can save it for traps.
7. If a player ends up on a trap have to loose a turn. But, if the player has a peanut butter cup, can use it to get out of the trap and move to the next square.
8.If a player ends up on a rotation gear, the player can rotate that quadrant or the same colored quadrant clockwise 90 degrees one time. If the player wants to rotate more than once, each 90 degrees costs an AP. Eg., of the player wants to rotate it 180 degrees (additoinal 90 degrees), it costs one AP. Tips: This helps to rearrange the maze which might be helpful to the player and might be a blocker to the opponent.
9. The game ends when the player reaches the opponent's starting point.

Rules
1.Player cannot move diagonally or backwards. If the player ends up in a dead-end, has to start over
2.Used peanut butter cups are removed from the board

Etymologist

Have you seen online dictionaries or some book dictionaries? Have you seen the word etymology under the main entry which is the word you're looking up? For example= Go to this link: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/centrifugal. There above the meanings look for the word etymology (you can use the search box too.) What does it say if it says something like this after the colon: New Latin centrifugus, from centr- + Latin fugere to flee — more at fugitive
Then, you're on the right track if not, you're on the wrong track. Anyway, if you couldn't find it, it's okay. So, in the etymology that I'm showing you here, what do you think an etymologist studies and what does etymology mean? This is your activity. Do this any time I don't mind .

Ethnic

Do you know what ethnic means? Well, if you didn't know, then I can tell you now. Ethnic means a group of people that are different by language, religion, and many other things (et cetera. Remember, yesterday's word.) In my school, about at least, 85% are Indians meaning from India not Native Americans. Also, from my previous post, you can tell, I'm done with presenting my state report to the whole school. It wasn't only me of course. There are 15 kids excluding me. We had to do alot of stuff. Anyway, this word was hard for me to write about because it's an easy one so bye!
