Shoshana's Fourth Blog


It's Chelsea's birthday! So happy birthday Chelsea!

Today's Agenda is:
Blog Corrections
Q & Q
15 week grades
NaPoWriMo - Prompts and Poems
HW: 16 poems and prompts written!

We start off by reading Karla's blog. Now, we are going over the quote and question of the week which results to the topic of Friends. So, apparently, Ms. Nakada does not like Friends, and I don't know if I trust her anymore.

The quote of the week is, "Dictators are always afraid of poets." - Ursula K. Leguin.

The question of the week is: When/where are you most truly yourself?
Ayden answers with, "the boys," which causes Ms. Nakada to make him rephrase his answer.

I hear a constant, "who run the world, ________."

Now, we are going through our 15 week grades. We read a poem called "There Are Birds Here" by Jamaal May. We discuss the poem and relate it to things people say. I mean the stereotypes.

Over the weekend, the prompts were given were, write a report poem, free write with your eyes closed, write a metaphor poem, what does your favorite alternate universe look life, write a favorite poem, and lastly, if your body was a house...

Karla is great, she came to visit me. Now Bridget is here.

Ms. Nakada is going around checking quotes and questions of the week. While he have the opportunity to write, revise, and read poems. Since I am tired of writing lame poems, I will tell you about the dream I had Sunday night. Basically, I was flying in a car with no doors or windows, just seats. I was screaming because we were about to hit the ceiling of the sky. After a while, we landed on a green rock in the middle of nowhere. The car disappeared and we were in the water, swimming to some random desert. There were lizards that walked like dinosaurs and were as big as dinosaurs, there were also kangaroos. Okay, the bell rang so bye! Ben this is your mention.

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,
