Scenes from Mr. Peace’s (Online) Classroom
September 3, 2021
Digital learning, let’s be honest, can be draining.
Given this, Mr. Peace’s 12th Honors English classes, as well as the Journalism staff, were tasked with a few activities these past couple weeks to help liven up the digital learning experience.
Below are various illustrations of famous characters like Shrek, Batman, and Killer Moth, as well as select haikus, the titles for which came from random phrases, objects, places, and people submitted by the students themselves.
“Clowns Beyond Outer Space” – Tony Benavides
The clowns float away
In their tiny clown mobile
Next stop: Space circus
“Yarn” – Emma Delaney
Weave it into hats
Crochet it into purses
Loom it into scarves
“Scooters (the ones you sit on)” – Ashlyn Farmer
Speeding down the road
The wind messes up my hair
Scooter let me go
“Vampires above Del Taco” – McKenna Fountain
Hey! Edward Cullen!
Why is he at Del Taco?
Guess we’ll never know.
“Greasy Wall Ball” – Sam Guess
Ball slips out of hand
Too much grease from the fry cook
Ball still hit the wall
“Fat Dolls” – Keilah Hall
As a kid I had
Fat dolls that couldn’t fit in
anything I had
“The Idea of Dying Alone in Fazoli’s” – Abi Jarvis
Cockroaches swarming
Alone in sauce and breadsticks
I suffocate, dead

Walking into school
Last night’s Mexican roaring
Gassy all day long
“Bullying Mr. Bradford” – Joseph Lyons
Oh Mr. Bradford
I am going to hurt you
Run in fear from me
“Untitled” – Samuel Mansi
This is a haiku
A Haiku’s a long poem
I want to be done
“Riding on Those Little Squares with Wheels” – Brayden McBryar
Riding on those squares.
So small compared to wheels.
The squares are very rough.
“Rock-Climbing Clowns” – Brooke McCormick
The clowns climb very
High. Oh no, one falls to the ground.
No more rock climbing.
“Rancid Puke” – Preston McPheters
The puke is rancid
It tastes like my foot fungus
Why did I taste it?
“Mrs. Atwell, South of Panda Express” – Trey Phillips
Mrs. Atwell wants rice.
In the parking lot crying,
“Where is the rice at?”
“Riding the Little Scooters Underneath Krystals” – Olivia Selby
The little scooters
They make my Krystals trip better
I like riding them
“Sketchy Scorpions” – Christian Sisco
They said they don’t sting,
They said I would be ok,
I am now dying.

Lonely and cast off
Never any visitors
The fish are now saved

They are little murderers
Murderers aren’t cute

Mouth so stank like fish
Last meal was raw like their eyes

Floating in the sky
Scent of ice cream in the air
Almost there to DQ

He doesn’t believe in soap.
Poor, stinky Terry.

Mummies are OK
Sometimes a little bit strange
Though always slimy

Face down in the muck.
Last place in the race. He should
Be called Mr. Lose.

Dust swirls in circles.
Nothing to discover up
here—except yourself.
