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...

Agenda Blog Corrections CAASPP sample questions poem in your pocket day! readers/writers workshop the art of the Thank You! Homework- 26 poems read and written. We started class, and I really wanted to die. I was already in a really bad mood. Then, I got picked for the blog, and I was really annoyed.  THEN, Ayden had to open his mouth, and ughhhhhh. So, now I am sitting here, still wanting to die. I really hate Conlan, because it is all of his fault that any of this happened in the first place, because he thought I should do the blog. So, congrats, Conlan, you are doing the blog tomorrow. I hope you have a ton of fun. Ms. Nakada passed out the CAASPP thing, so I'm going to go do that. I am so over testing. I just do not see how they prove any thing about your level of intelligence. Bruno asked me to mention him, so I am going to talk about how annoyed Bruno and I were during PE, when a certain teacher decided she wasn't going to tell us that we couldn't make up a ...

So, hello again, period 4 English class. I should really not be writing this blog, because I feel like I have already done my third blog, if you count my last one. [But it didn't.] Agenda  Blog Corrections Q&Q 15 week CAASPP sample? NaPoWriMo poems/ prompts HW 23 poems read EAP 23 poems written Collections due 5/8 So, I would really like to write more than a paragraph in this blog, but we have a history test to study for, and I have not read any of the book, so I am gonna do that now. GOODBYE! JK! I am not gonna repeat my same mistake. The first thing we did was correct Abril's blog, and it was riddled with mistakes. Then, we moved on to the Q&Q. The quote of the week was: "Water does not resist. Water flows. [...] Dripping water wears away stone. [...] Remember, you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does," by Margaret Atwood. After the quote of the week, the class went into...

Abril's Third Blog

Well, the time has come. I was really looking forward to this not coming. It's as simple as- wit no I won't reveal my mystical technique of not getting chosen for the blog. Agenda blog corrections extra credit opps. napowrimo poems and prompts 4 prompts It's lonely here in my small little blogging corner. I hear so many things I could comment on, but no one would hear me. Being the blogger casts a cloak of invisibility on you. Strangely enough, your hearing senses peak too, so one hears more and listens as they miss out on more. So, never mind that. How do you get any classwork done while being the blogger anyway. Oh my struggle. We start reading a poem. Wait, not yet. Ms. Nakada doesn't like her kids??? Okay, we start. Wait, not yet. Ms. Nakada would die for her children. Sweet. Let the poem reading begin. We read, "On the Fifth Anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting" by Melanie Corning Mingus laughs. Oh my lord. Ms. Nakada rec...

Hi Agenda blog corrections  CAASPP sample? NaPoWriMo poems & prompts HW 19 poems  read & written  So, we started the class correcting the blog, and it was short. Also, my blog will be short, so yep. We all got CAASPP sample questions and it only had two questions. Then, after we finished that, we all had to take out our poetry packets. Ms. Nakada read the poem " The Laughing Heart"  by Charles Bukowski, and she asked what the poem is about. (Also you should cover the camera or this man will look at you.) His name is Mark  Zucc erberg. So, the class is talking about the poem, and I am writing on my paper and not typing it in the blog. Then, we started talking about Trey. We moved on to a new poem, which has no name, but it is written by Emily Dickinson, and it is another bird poem. So, we finished and the NaPoWriMo Prompt for the day is to write a _________ thread poem. So, since the period is about to end we get some time t...

Hannah's Fourth Blog

AGENDA Blog corrections CASSPP sample? NaPoWriMo poems & Prompts Shoshana chose me for the blog, which is what I wanted because it's Tuesday. Then, we corrected Shosh's blog which only had a few mistakes. We had to do blog corrections on paper, because everyone was talking. Veronica and Bruno fought over whether a comma or semi-colon was needed for one of the corrections in Shosh's blog. Next, we took out our poetry packets, and Ms. Nakada handed out practice tests. While we were working on our practice tests, Ms. Nakada checked our Quotes and Questions of the Week. After we finished, Ms. Nakada told us to take out a red pen and handed out red pens to the people who didn't have any. We corrected our practice tests. Then, Ms. Nakada told us that we will take five practice tests, and you can choose four of your tests to go in the grade book. A bunch of people are mad about the last question of the test.  Here are some things happening around the class...
