Bruno's First Blog


...And so, the imaginary counter in my head ticked to 5 (days) as we commenced the second week in Ms. Nakada's classroom. I was, regretfully, picked by Greg and now, I'm doing my first blog! 😭

We started off by copying the agenda...

BLOG- corrections- Q&Q
"Total Eclipse"
Reader's workshop
RJ ✅

...and the homework:

RJ 2.1
T.O. p. 37-52

Today, for the first time in 38 years, a solar eclipse shed its darkness on our country, so, we (naturally) based our quote of the week on that. "Seeing a partial eclipse bears the same relation to seeing a total eclipse as kissing a man does to marrying him, or as flying in an airplane does to falling out of one."We also checked out Time Magazine's awesome website where you can simulate the eclipse from your point of view (totally not free publicity for Time...). 

Next, we jumped to our question of the week; who is ultimately responsible for educating society?
I believe that in part, we are responsible for educating ourselves, with the guidance of our teachers, parents, etc. The world is what you make of it.

At this point, we were given an essay by Annie Dillard named "Total Eclipse," laughed at Greg for cheating/not-cheating, and got right into the text. The tone of the essay was rather depressing with allusions to mourning the death of someone and falling into a hole! She compares the unfamiliarity of her new environment to going crazy, and her rich constrastions(?) completely differentiate a partial, from a total eclipse. I've personally never seen one, so her words are especially impacting. When we finished reading as a class, Ms. Nakada asked as to write our own account of our eclipse. Mine was no where near as long, bleak, or simultaneously beautiful.

Our class came to a close shortly after, and thankfully, I didn't suffer too much.


Bye,
Bruno

Thanks a lot, Charlotte..........you just had to..... Just saying, there's gonna be a lot of mistakes.... Agenda Blog Corrections Collect Trip Slips H.S / College planning Letter to your future self HW~ Letters due tomorrow We all walk into class, sit down, and write down the agenda. After that, Charlotte reads her blog and she has no mistakes. Good job, Charlotte. Anyways, Veronica and Bruno yell at Charlotte to choose them. Most people said to choose Veronica, but Charlotte didn't choose either of them. Ms. Nakada got mad at students for asking each other to sign their yearbooks. Good job. Now, Ms. Nakada is talking about the high school and college planning thing, GPAs, and APs. Some schools rank their students by GPA and the top 10% are most likely to go to UC schools. Now, Ms. Nakada is talking about some clubs that you could join in high school. ..........I just heard Fornite Club............wow Ryan................. Yay, now we have to write a letter t

AGENDA Blog · Corrections CAASPP sample ?'s Open mic/poem performance reader's/writer's workshop HW: 27 poems read EAP: 27 poems written Well, this is all Ryan's fault. I told him not to put me in the blog. But, he did and now I'm picked. Thanks, Bridget! This blog is going to be an actual blog and not going to go off topic, like the others usually are. This blog is strictly just for the things we do as a class. So, right now, we are correcting Bridget's blog which is filled with errors. Sort of like mine will be. Now, we are taking out our CAASPP sample questions and our poem packets to answer the questions within the sample. I'm guessing the class will be quiet while filling it out the essay questions we have. This will be painful for me... Should poetry be continued to be taught at schools? I said no. What do you think? I'm finished somehow. I thought it would take me longer, and people would have to wait o

Happy second to last week of school! AGENDA blog corrections Last Q&Q H.S./ college planning Letter to your future self HW: Field day trip slips due tomorrow! We corrected Mirae's blog, which had a couple of mistakes. I will try my best to make no mistakes, but, if we're being realistic, how high of a chance is it that we'll fit in another pizza party before school is over? We are doing are last question and quote of the school year. Our quote is: "Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class and be humble." - John Madden Chaos ensues. Oh no. I had a full blog, but the rest got deleted. I will do my best to reconstruct what I wrote today. We had a big argument about this quote and whether or not self-praise was the same as self-love or self-confidence or if it was conceited to praise yourself. Our question of the week is: How have you changed/grown in the past three years? We then go to collegeresults.org,
