Charlotte's First Blog

I had almost convinced myself that the day I was chosen to be the blogger would be the worst English class of my life, which was why I was so suprised when I volunteered myself for the unwanted position. I greatly suspect that I will be glad to get this over with.

Elements of Plot

Homework:
RJ 2.3 T.O.
P. 68-84
Quiz on Chapters 1-4 tomorrow!

We began the period with copying down the agenda, then jumping straight into Bridget's blog corrections. Ms. Nakada strongly defended the Oxford comma, giving us a news title in which it appears, due to the lack of the comma, that Obama and Castro are getting married. We went over our reading journals for the 4th chapter of The Outsiders. "The blue Mustang rolls up with five Socs. They start a fight and try to drown Ponyboy. Johnny kills a Soc, and they go to Dally for help. Dally gives them money and a place to hide" was Ms. Nakada's summary. After Bruno shares his summary, everyone is astonished by the word "intermediary."

We begin a short Reader's Workshop.

When 10 minutes is past, Ms. Nakada instructs the class to get out our English notes. We title our fourth page "Elements of Plot." She tells us that all stories have certain elements of plot. Drawing a plot line with the labels Beginning, Middle, and End, we write under Beginning "characters, setting, and conflict" and label our rising action, climax, and resolution. Ms. Nakada use the first chapter of The Outsiders as an example of how Elements of Plot are portrayed in our class read.

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,
