Jessica's Fourth Blog

Image
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 ...

Koen's 4th Blogger

Yasin tried to pick Chris, but I went up instead because it was a short day. AGENDA BLOG corrections war lit: civilian or soldier reader's workshop HW: RJ 18.2 15-20 p. of war literature      I started the period trying to get the stupid acid song out of my head. It was almost as bad as the covalent bond video. The atom was singing Christmas carols. Also, the boy's soccer ball goes into a space ships, he makes a world changing discovery that atoms can talk, and he want to get his soccer ball and leave. Such incompetents. Why would he just be punting a soccer ball in the first place. That entire video just made me mad.      Bridget had to spit out her gum for the billionth time, and she decided to swallow it. Then, we had to do an ACE on the protagonist in your war literature. The question was: Is the main character a civilian or a soldier?       Conlan and Ayden are conversing about how our 6th period teacher is brain dead and ...

Yazin's (As Hastings calls me) Fourth Blog

Bueller, Bueller, Bueller, Bueller, Bueller, Bueller. Agenda Blog Corrections Q&Q 18 week grades Slam Finalists "Bueller, Bueller, Bueller, "He's not here." (awkward pause) Bueller. Alrighty then, After correcting the blog (Which was five minutes of cancer) we watched the opening to Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  The greatest movie of all time asides from Space Balls.  Which is surprisingly not a soft ***** but instead a Star Wars  rip off. The Q&Q are "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it"-Ferris Bueller       How can slowing down help you be more successful/efficient? I will no be answering these because I'm a bad writer, and will most likely end up messing it up. Finally, I can write freely. I wrote what we did in class and can now express the many thoughts in my head. First off, I'm not wearing my glasses because I threw them at the wall because of... Guess?...

Thor's Rant on Brazil (Fifth Time on the Computer)

"Do you speak Brazilian?" Oi. I'm back. I'm actually gonna write the agenda this time. Here it is below. BLOG - corrections 30 poems read ✔ War lit.: pro or anti? Reader's workshop HW -  FINAL DE SEMANA! So Ben (the one with the N in their last name) chose me. We (me and Frenchman) were not prepared. I even used my skip card, but Greg used his imaginary +4 card and changed the color to Brazil (??????). So, I succumbed. And here I am. The kids (Greg, Ben, Ben, Koen) read their bajillion minute long poem about everything that happened in our times at Emerson (and the things that happened outside of it, if you know what I mean). Some others read their poems and stuff, but let's not get onto that. I'm going to go into the subject of today;  BRAZIL. And now, the appropriate text color change. That's more like it. Alrighty, so here we go. I'm this shade of green, and  Bruno is this shade.  I've been pissing...

Ben G's Fourth/Fifth Blog

Bruno, you are despicable. I would not be upset if you fell in an open manhole, and then got eaten by hungry lions. Agenda Blog - Corrections Slam Prep Poetry SLAM HW: RJ 17.4 Bruno deleted my blog yesterday. Darn him. Now we have to practice our Poetry SLAM, so that's what I'll do. Our poem puts the SLAM in Poetry SLAM. Ok our practice is done, the poetry SLAM is starting. First to go up are Hannah and Shoshana, with a response poem to "We Real Cool" by Gwendolyne Brooks. Now it's Chris and Yasin, with a Fortnite poem. Now Willa is coming up to do her poem. She's stalling, of course. Oh finally she started. Okay, Brandon just did his poem, about Fortnite. Somehow I feel like this will not be the last Fortnite poem of the day. Our group may have a problem, since our poem is very long. Like 8-10 minutes long. Guess what the next poem was about. Fortnite. Of course. Ayden, Conlan, and Ryan are talking about high s...

Ben W.'s Blog (For the Fourth Time)

Everyone is telling me not to make any mistakes or anything on this blog so we can have a pizza party. I mean, no pressure, right? Agenda Blog · Corrections War Lit. Setting OPEN MIC Collection Collection Homework: RJ 17.2 (15-20 pages from your War Lit. book) Everyone walks into class and writes down the agenda. Last time I wrote the blog, I complained about our ritual of writing down the agenda, which didn't go so well. I promise not to do that again (probably).  We correct Jose's blog, which has no mistakes. This places a lot of pressure on me, because I need a point to get pizza. Way to go, Jose (that was both sarcastic and to congratulate you). After we finish the blog, we jump straight into our War Lit. activity. I am reading  The Book Thief.  It is a great book, but also very confusing sometimes. I mean, its from the perspective of death!  In the activity, we do A.C.E to find out how World War 2 is introduced into our respective...

Agenda Blog Corrections Q & Q Open Mic War Literature Homework RJ 17.1 15-20 pages of war literature Poem Collections due tomorrow 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...
