Fun Game Day
Hello everybody! This is Nikhil. On January 11th, 2012, the teens at John Igo Library made a fun game day to simply just have fun! First, we played Dance Central 2 on the Xbox Kinect. I danced to some songs such as Just Dance by Lady Gaga and the rap, Soulja Boy. There was a built in camera that took pictures of our dance. Next, my friend and I played the Twist Game which really tied us in knots! As a group, all of us played Apples to Apples. I somehow got the cards smart, cool, and unbelieving! That was really astonishing. Before the end of the meeting, all of us played one more round in Dance Central 2. At first I did good, but then my score reduced and everyone laughed at my dance! I really got to improve my dancing skills! Anyway, at the end of the meet, everyone said bye to Mrs. Barbara and left with a smile on their faces! What a Wednesday! I definitily will be back

This week Landa Teens enjoyed eating Hunger Games related food, and talking all about the Hunger Games series, by Suzanne Collins. We ate bread with goat cheese, along with oranges, which are food items that the main character, Katniss Everdeen eats. Landa Teens also watched the trailer for the Hunger Games movie, which comes out in March 2012, as well as Hunger Games spoofs.

We had a great and fun time with the Hunger Games!

Bored and tired of homework?

Bored and tired of homework? If you need a fast, interesting read to make you think, Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin could be the book for you!

When Elizabeth Marie Hall wakes up confused and disoriented on a ship she can’t remember boarding, she’s desperate to escape and return to her “real” life; a life that no longer exists for her. Not because she’s too far away, or has been kidnapped, but because Elizabeth, or Liz, had been hit by a car and died. The ship is taking her to an island that can’t be found on any earth map, existing in an alternate dimension both like and unlike where she came from. On this Island of Elsewhere, where everyone returns when then die, people age backwards from when they arrived, eventually returning to earth as infants when their time is up. For 15-year-old Liz, this means she will never turn 16, marry, get her driver’s license, or grow up, an unfair twist of fate that sends her spiraling into a deep depression that neither her Grandmother (who had died several years earlier) nor any of her new acquaintances can pull her out of by themselves. However, as time passes, Liz begins to see that although she’ll never grow old, she still has opportunities to learn and to love; to experience life even after death. This one-of-a-kind, innocent novel by Gabrielle Zevin is riddled with messages of hope and the belief that, maybe, the end isn’t the end after all.
