Artknits Richmond Hill articles: A letter to Travis in the novel "Bluefish."

 Dear Travis,


Hey Travis, how are you doing so far? Has it been hard for you too? Class has been difficult lately, but I am sure it will get better eventually. Sometimes, school is hard for me too. In class, our teacher gave us a lot of hard assignments. It also takes a long time to do them.  I know that your life is different, and I understand you are different so I have something to share with you. I hope this helps.

     I remembered when I was in grade 7, I couldn’t focus. Also, I could not read novels very well.  Or maybe, you should go see Mr. Mcqueen more often. Mr. Mcqueen can help you with your reading and your homework.


When you are trying to achieve something you should believe in yourself and say “I am going to do it” and “I'll try my best.” You should make a schedule for time management skills. Or, you can find a tutor to help you with your homework. You can achieve this. I know you like talking about your memories, but you will do your homework and hand in your assignments on time? You can do this Travis!


For the friend part, I understand that making friends is hard.  You should try asking what your friends are interested. You should treat your friends nicely. Or, you can join a club at school. If you wanted to make new friends, you should go to a group you have not met before.


Travis, here are some ways to crease your anger: the first way is you have to focus on the things that you have control or you can listen to music. When I got upset or angry, I can solve this by doing exercise and doing my favorite hobby. My favorite hobbies are drawing, painting, playing harp/piano, and tap/ballet dancing. Or you can do mindful minutes. Mindful minutes are a relaxing way to calm yourself. First, take deep breaths. Second, think of the things that make you happy. 


Travis, you could try doing your homework first with your tutor. Then, you could think about your other stuff. 


Sincerely, The Artknits

Artknits Richmond Hill Articles: Bluefish chapter 10: what is all about? (expecpt for the Velveeta on ... part)

 Travis has a project about a skit to do in his social studies class. Travis does not like to work in groups just like Velveeta. Travis likes to work all by himself. said Ms. Gordon when she faced to Travis. He does not want to do the outline. Travis was being so lazy. This is why Travis does not like going to school because of his social studies project.  Travis was not an A+ student because he did not hand in his paragraph on literature, and he returns a blank piece of paper for the vocabulary quiz on Wednesday. Mcqueen wanted Travis to come to the office, and Mcqueen wanted Travis to do a book review on his "Fox" book. Mcqueen wanted to find a way for Travis to read better in class. He cannot read like his classmate does. Travis has a learning disorder. Travis gave up on his reading project because when Travis was so bad at reading. Travis does not keep trying at all. And, this is wrong.

Artknits Richmond Hill articles: Non-Verbal communication: A reflection

 One of the most important things is communication skills. This is a skill that is important when you want to talk to people. Communication skills can be "verbal" because it was related to a "form of words." But today, we are going to talk about "non-verbal communication skills. Non-verbal communication skills are not saying words that how are you doing and what are you feeling. Non-verbal communication skills are kindly using your body language of how are you are feeling and doing. Like for example, when someone was angry they will do a hands-on-your-hips pose.  Or it also talks about your feelings and emotions because people can see or observe how someone was feeling, with their eyes. Like for example, when someone has seen a person feeling crying that means someone is feeling sad. Body language matters to everyone, and at least 70% of the communication between people takes place through body language and their voice.  But also, it could express people's ...
