COUGAR PRESS fall edition

20/20 By Wyatt E. This year every grade 6th, 7th, and 8th have a goal of reading 20 books. For the 6th graders this year its new and your language arts teachers problem told you guys about 20/20. If you read a book that is 450 pages or more that counts as two books. If you reach the goal you get a paper ribbon to hang in the language arts hall. You should read at least 2 books a month and some months 3. If you need book ideas ask friends or if you have an Edmodo account you can on that and look. You have to read at least 1 book from every genera. I think that this is going to be a little challenging. The reason is that I like long books because I can get into it. I don t like short books because I can t get into them. So it s taking me longer to finish books. But if I put more time in to read I think I can get the goal.

Movie Review The Maze Runner By: Wyatt E. If you haven t seen The Maze Runner you might not want to read this but i m not going to say the ending. At the the beginning of the movie thomas wakes up in a cage and seems like he was just drowned. He goes to the wall and something pops up. He finds out he is in something the kids there call the glacier. All they remember is their names and proper grammar.

But one of the runners gets stung by the grievers they come out at night in the maze and kill who ever is in the maze at night. When his friends are trying to come thru the gate but it starts to close and Thomas come in. But it closes behind him so their stuck in the maze. the grievers come out and thomas runs when he finds a all way closing he runs into it and the griever come after him.

The reason is it was a great movie for me but some parts they should give more information thats why they lost the last star other than that i thought it was great.

Movie Reviews By: Irvine Kwende The Amazing Spider Man was a hit. It had action and drama. The cast was :Andrew Garfield Emma Stone and Jamie Foxx. The reviews for this movie said it was amazing. I personally thought the movie was awesome because the acting made it seem like it was happening in real life. The Fault in Our Stars was called the number one movie of the year. It was sad and people cried during the movie. It was about this girl that has cancer and met a boy that also has cancer. They fell in love. The Fault in Our Stars is another movie based on the young adult book. I did not see this movie, but many people said it was good and they told me I should watch it. Maybe someday I will. Big Hero 6 is a movie about these people named Herio and Baymax. Those two have a villain they need to stop. So Herio upgrades Baymax to be a superhero. Kung Fu Panda 2 was funny and emotional. Guess what? Kung Fu Panda 3 is coming. The cliffhanger in the second one when shows Po s dad having a secret land of pandas but the mom has past away.

The two twins (main characters) Conner and Alex Bailey (Alex is a female) have fallen into their grandmothers magical story book, now they must try to find a way out. Along the way they will make friends and they will make enemies and at the end they will find out a shocking secret.
