In the "open mic" week, we can heard classmates express their passion to us in many different ways. If we listen carefully we can get their passion. First part of ELA regent exam is listening. "open mic" can help us improve listening skill. And base on you heard think about what passion they express to us. And the last part of ELA regent exam is critical lens. We need to support our thought. Use evident to prove it clearly and completely. "open mic" we need to express our passion and we can show the passion in any ways. The purpose still be the same, show to class our passion or share something with passion. "open mic" is a great oppotunity to practice how to express your thought or idea in different ways. Some of classmates read poems to us, it also help them pass the ELA regent because in part 3 is literature analyze, we need to read passages and analyze them and find out the deeper thing behind the literarures. The speeker and audiences all need to find out the message. The "open mic" week can help us pass the ELA regent.

We will remind something or search some information before our begin to talk, we can know more vocabulary during we prepare this work and improve our understand, it is help for our reading. The important thing is we can improve our writing , we can know what mistake we did in our speech, like grammar. So, through “open mic”week , we will reduce more mistake during our English regent.

Mr.L
Everyone in the class did open mic in this week, I was talking about my feeling when I read the poem “Passion of life” by Pooja, and how the poem affect me in the real life.There has a lot messages to convince and teach me passion is something important in our life. I have a strong passion when I finish read the poem.I pick up the most important messages that can make my speech more stronger  before I read the poem.Those details from the poem can help me to let the people who is listening more cleaner about how was my passion. This skill I also can use in the ELA regent. I need to have the most important events from the texts to support my eassy, to make my work easy to read and make the quote to be true. In the second time, I sang a song for the class, I start to know I need practice a lot before I want to achieve something.I am sang the song “love story” for many many times at home before the night of friday.I learn that practice is the way pass to successful through this experience.Finally, I improve my listening skill after the open mic week.

I think ''Open mic'' week going to help us pass the regents because, in this week we will talk about our passions and we're going to do this in front of everyone, so i think if we will be able to talk about how our passions express our selves it will really help us to do something good in the regents.What i mean is if we can choose our passions and  understand what we have to do, and what we have to talk about, probably we will understand what they want us to do in the regents.Also if we will be able to talk in front of the class and if you do a good job to talk about your passions, I think we can do better in the regents because we understand better, and know what to do about in the regents.

Open Mic for our class is a place to let your emotion out by talking about them.  During this “Open Mic” week, our listening skill will improve, because when we need to pay attention to the speaker and make sense of the things that they talked about.  If we improve our listening skill, then that means we can score higher in the listening part of the ELA regent.  Also, Open Mic enhance our ability to pick the more accurate and sophisticate word for our feeling because we don’t want the audience to get the wrong idea, so we need to learn the vocabulary that communicate our feeling to the class.   Therefore, when we write the Critical Lens for the ELA regents, our word choice would be much better.  We will score higher in Critical Lens not only because of the word choice, but also because of we are more used to writing.  When we prepare for the Open Mic, we usually wrote a draft the day before.  Thus, we can better in the organization and sentence structure of the Critical Lens.  Higher score in Listening, and Critical Lens greatly improve the chance of passing the regent.  Open Mic is a great project which will help in many aspects.

       The"open mic" week is going to help us pass the Regents by listening and comprehend the story or poem that students read. The "open mic" can exercises our English listening by listen a story or poem, the more you listen and more you can understand from the story. This skill will helps us a lot in our English Regent.  About the poem, many students like to read a poem or write a poem, and we know the poem is more difficult to  comprehend the meaing than a story, if we listen a poem, it is the way let us more earies to get the idea, for example, we can quickly get  if there has rhyme  or not in the poem. The "open mic" also training us to write a poem or a story. For the poem, we use many different figures of speech in a poem to express our feeling. We also can talk about a story, it helps us to organize the story which is a good skill to us for the English Regent

I think  "Open Mic Week" relevant to our prepatations for the ELA Regents Exam in our listen skills and our information about passion and how it works with some people and others just doesn't think that the passion moves them .
but I think passion is the most poweful emotional movement could move others to do something they are intersting in , and I really liked to talk about my passion and some stories that happened with me that moved me to be passion toward something .

  I think the "open mic" week going to help us pass the regents. Because it can let we learn more information about the passion, and we know how can better to explain about passion. Open mic week  help and exercise our ability to write a essay in the regents. When we get the regents test we can have more ideas from this open mic we learn, and we can use that in the regents essay. If the regents essay is about the passion, then we will be get a good grade. Because we learn that in this open mic week. So the open mic can help we write a good essay in the regents essay.

I think this open mic week is good for our regent. It would imporove our listening because we have to listen to the students who is speaking or singing. It would improve our writing because we need to write something that we want to talk. And it would also improve our reading. We need to search some information, then read it and make it into our writing. We need to talk to the whole class so we would try our best to do it and try to make it perfect. I think the open mic week is very good for students.We could get many message from others' speaking. We could know more about our classmates. We could challenge ourselves by doing it and so on.

Water black and briny for my shroud,
Pillow made of seaweed, thick and green,
Couch of coral, pearl, and oyster shell,
Fairer bed no mortal eye hath seen,
And my dirge, the wailing at the bar,
Of the loving ones I left behind,
And my sweetest memory the hour
When I heard the playing of the chimes.

I am dreaming all the night-time long;
I am dreaming of a summer land,
While the mermaids swim above my couch,
Singing low a song so sweet and grand,
That I fain would rue the judgment day,
When I must return to whence I came,
That I fain would lie beneath the sea,
Even after Gabriel calls my name.
