AGENDA

blog corrections
RJ check
The Golden Rule

HW: Enjoy the long weekend!

We started class with correcting Delaney's blog, which was only missing one period. Ms. Nakada gave our class a point any way, making us only six points away from another pizza party. SIDE NOTE: pineapple should not be on pizza (just an opinion).

Ms. Nakada went around the class, checking our reading journals to make sure we completed all 4 of the assigned summaries. A lot of people have said that they don't like To Kill A Mockingbird, but I think that it is actually a very good book (though at times it is slow). 

In these last few chapters, Jem unfortunately lost his pants in an effort to escape the Radley yard, where they were being shot at. Their excuse was that they were playing strip poker, which, as Ms. Nakada points out, isn't much better. When Jem goes back later in the night to get his pants, he finds them neatly folded and patched up. Jem and Scout continue to find little gifts in the knot of the Radley tree, including miniature figures of themselves, a spelling medal, more gum, and a grandfather watch. Then, they find the knot cemented up. When Jem asks Mr. Radley about it, he says that the tree is dying, but Atticus says that the tree is as healthy as Jem himself.

After our discussion about To Kill A Mockingbird, Ms. Nakada showed us a news clip of Anderson Cooper discussing Donald Trump's comments about Haiti. Cooper said that the president would never understand how much the Haitians had gone through during the earthquake eight years ago. We related this back to the Golden Rule.

Lastly, we put our reading journals in the aisle and started reading the next chapter of To Kill A Mockingbird.

    Here's a philosophical question: if a child is unhappy, is it the fault of the parents for not trying hard enough to make them happy or is it the fault of the child for not trying to be happy?

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,
