Jessica's Fourth Blog

Hello. This is my last blog, and I'm conflicted about what I'm feeling. On one hand, this class is fun, and probably my favorite. On the other hand, I would rather be sleeping. We started this morning like every other. Except, today we are missing a bunch of people, because they are at the A Midsummer Night's Dream rehearsal.

Agenda
Blog Corrections
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Reader's Workshop
HW: RJ 18.3
Read 15-20 pages of War Lit.

Shoshana and Veronica are passing out our poetry collections. Hannah and Delaney are passing out our portfolios. Ayden is whacking me with each thing he gets passed back. Ms. Nakada is passing out A Midsummer Night's Dream worksheets/excerpts.

Ms. Nakada tells the class to turn to page 33 in our english notebooks, titled "A Midsummer Night's Dream". This page just lists of Shakespeare plays and their morals/plots.

I will enter a picture of Shoshana's page right here.
I have ugly fingers. I'm really sorry.
Veronica tells the class that the moral of Macbeth is to "probably not kill anybody."
AN ANACHRONISM?
I'm sorry, I didn't hear what the class was saying, I just heard ten people saying "an anachronism".
Veronica is reading an excerpt from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Now, Gregory is.

We now talk about how "the course of true love never did run smooth." Does true love exist? I think no, because I've  never seen it with my own eyes. Ayden says he is in love with Conlan, but whether that is true or not is debatable. I think it's lust.

" Yo its poopooaydenpeepee just wanna take a quick poll here: does love exist?"
"I personally think people who say love doesn't exist are pretentious pessimists, and people who do either jump right into saying u love them to early or actually have the right answer thanks dude poo"

We are going over this whole love triangle (or quadrilateral) that is very present in A Midsummer Night's Dream and the plot. 
I am beginning to resent this play because I've been ambushed by it, six times now.

We are doing an activity where every two people get a line from the play, and we pass an apple around. When you hold the apple, you and your partner say your line. This apple throwing is getting aggressive. My partner won't let me say the line. That's okay. That's just fine.

The class discusses what themes might emerge from the lines we heard.

Here are some themes that are called out:
"daddy issues"
"rebellion"
"magic"

The conflict in this play is "Athenian Law".

This love triangle is wild. Oh! I just remembered that one line in this play where they use an acorn as an insult.

WE ARE DOING ROLE-PLAY! I'M DEEPLY ENJOYING THIS.
HARLI IS THESEUS AND AYDEN IS HIPPOLYTA. NEVERMIND BYE.

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,
