"The Poverty Myth"
Workshop

We started out by correcting Ben W.'s blog, which had very few errors. Then, not wanting to make the decision on who would do the blog, he told Ms. Nakada to choose. She chose me.

After this, Ms. Nakada explained how we are annotating "The Poverty Myth". Ms. Nakada said we should annotate as much as possible with different pen colors, highlighters, ect.. She also said to use emojis and other current phrases that represent the thoughts we are having while reading.

I found the article, "The Poverty Myth", very interesting and it gave me another point of view on this issue. I made plenty of annotations and gratefully read the notes written on my annotations. We passed the paper around our tables and wrote notes on the annotations everyone made.

I'm now going to read Broken Prey by John Sandford. It's a really dark book, but it's really good.

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

I thought that Veronica was going to be doing the blog, but I was chosen instead. Disclaimer: Veronica's going next.  AGENDA Blog corrections 10 year plan H.S. success Letter to your future self HW  Field day trip slips! Ok, so, I guess I should start with the fact that Gabe has hand mouth foot(?) virus, and may have passed it on to half of period 4 when he was giving everyone high fives yesterday. No wonder I felt a bit sick this morning. I realize that no one's been writing much about what we actually do in class. I'm not gonna start now, but I guess I'll write about some things. Ms. Nakada tells us that we're doing our 10 year plans. Which I'm not gonna do because I'm writing this blog. Thanks to someone. Ayden starts singing something and has a voice crack. He starts harassing Conlan again, and ends up ripping one of the pages in his journal. Good job, Ayden. He looks oblivious as to what's going on right now. I honestly don

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,
