Ms. Nakada's Second Blog

Conlan, for some odd reason, decided to pick me. I mistakenly thought I had already done a second, but then realized I hadn't, so here I am, writing the blog.

Agenda
Blog Corrections
retake STAR test
NaNoWriMo Set-Up

HW: RJ 11.3 Read for 20 minutes

Today, we are in the computer lab in room 202, not to be mistaken for the computer lab in 101 or 102 which is where my students thought we were meeting.

Everyone got settled in at computers, and Conlan read his blog. This class often leaves me a little befuddled because of the non sequiturs inserted into class narratives, but I digress. I also took the opportunity to stop Ayden's insertions into the blog. Sorry, not sorry, Ayden.

After Conlan's blog corrections, everyone, well, everyone who isn't in Play Production, took the STAR test. A hush fell over the lab and everyone studiously read and clicked away.

About twenty minutes into the period, people started wrapping up the STAR test and began creating their NaNoWriMo accounts! 👏👏👏👏👏 Click here to get to the site.

This is the most wonderful time of the year. I cannot wait to get started on my novel.


Students went to the ywp website and used our classroom code OUAIFTFX to join our classroom and set up their usernames (4_last name) and their passwords.

People started chatting about their novels as they created titles and set goals for this great noveling adventure.

Are you ready? Are you ready? Yeah?

I'm totally ready.

Students got their accounts and set their word counts to 20000 words or more. Then, they packed up and were dismissed to lunch.

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,
