Greg's First Blog

Oh God why. Ayden, out all the people, you picked me. Well then, let's begin. We walked into the classroom and we copied the agenda.

Agenda
Blog corrections
Intro to reader's workshop
Collect summer assignments
RJ ✓
AR/STAR testing
HW Enjoy the weekend!

Then, Ms. Nakada talked about a story for how her favorite new word is "Jeesh." Then, she showed us some editing stuff and I didn't really pay attention because I was too worried about this. So, then we corrected Ayden's blog.

Then, we added in our table of contents for the English class notes. We learned about reader's workshop. Bruno skipped pages by 'accident' when he did it on purpose. We made a T-chart in our book with one side for reading entertainment and one for close reading. 

As a class w/ Ms. Nakada we talked about the difference between the two: how if you're reading for enjoyment and if it's assigned reading you painfully suffer through the book (most of the time). You can read for fun in reader's workshop: yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Ms. Nakada then talks about a super depressing book about two sisters who got seperated and then what other books she read over the summer. So, now we are making a fall reading plan and I'm pretty sure I know what I want to read. We had a chat about recommended books and we talked for a little about them and then we moved on. She asked a couple people for their book ideas and then she asked for the summer hw. Mine was pretty bad. I had more trips then ever this summer and so I did the easiest project there was. The social media one. What I didn't realize was that she would take them on Friday not the day we get back. So I had more time then I thought.

We then went over our summaries for The Outsiders. "Ponyboy, Dally, and Johnny go to the drive-in where they meet Cherry and Marcia. Dally messes with the girls, but Johnny stands up to him. Pony and Cherry go get popcorn, and Pony flashes back to Johnny getting jumped. Cherry says they aren't all like that."

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,
