Conlan's blog was relatively clean of corrections, contrary to his belief when reading blog.

Who is Pablo Neruda? He apparently wrote our quote of the week, which is about poetry. 

The quote of the week is: "Poetry is an act of peace." Interesting.

Ms. Nakada tells us that quoting people is useful for writing an essay??? Somewhat confused, but that's not important right now.

We complete the question of the week, which is: to what extent can a test reveal what you truly know/don't know, and some people answer aloud. Ayden says it can't, and rants about Dillmore's quiz about a triangle and the Pythagorean Theorem. Surprising. Do you want to know what's not surprising? The fact that this resembles a Geico ad very closely. Veronica explains how to study (this is about the question of the week). Willa speaks out about how testing is BAD. VERY BAD, and that it doesn't evaluate what you know and don't know. Bridget says testing stresses you to finish faster. Abril said something, but I wasn't paying attention.

Ms. Nakada tells us what will happen if you maintain high GPA's in high school and ace the SAT. All good things, apparently.

A Holocaust survivor is coming to our class in two weeks to read books about survivors of different wars from different perspectives like Bull Run, The Book Thief, or The Diary of Anne Frank.

We decide what war literature we'll be reading. I'm reading Maus.

Time for my blog to peak.


Chris Bosh is back!

I would bring up this great AC/DC song that might be appropriate with the previous sentence, but people might take it the wrong way, so... no.

Bell rings in a few, and Ayden just read his poem, so I might include whoever speaks next. Willa is interrupted by the bell. 

Bell's rung.
All that's said is done.

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,
