  So, class has started as usual. As Nancy reads her blog, I'm wondering if she is gonna choose me. Sadly, she chose me. I don't understand though? After I made her feel better yesterday, she still chooses me. I'll get her back eventually. Be careful Nancy something will be coming your way. So, Ms. Nakada has played the movie and Nancy keeps talking... like be quiet already. I really wanted to go to
the Spike ball tournament, but someone had to choose me and I ended up not going. But anyway, today is a minimum day and we are out at 12:35. As I'm typing this blog, I still hear Nancy talking, but this time it's Stephanie too. I don't mind them talking because I talk a lot too, but we're watching a movie come on! As I look to my right I see Netalia biting her nails, I guess that just her. Since the class is watching the movie, I'm focusing on this blog because I saw it already. The three saddest parts for me are when Darry smacks Ponyboy, Johnny dies, and when the Socs try to kill Ponyboy. There is a few minutes left of class and this blog is boring. I don't think there will be any clowns this weekend, Ms. Nakada? Well, got to go, bye guys.

NaNoWriMo prep


So, today has been a great day and I was expecting sixth period to be good because it's the last period and it is a good period. Unfortenetley, I walked in class crying because somebody thought it was ok to run in the hall way and kick me really hard on my ankle, oh my it had hurt really badly. Anyways sixth period started regularly, Netalia read her blog and honestly I didn't listen. Then, OUT OF NO WHERE Netalia chooses me and I was not in the mood but it's ok because I love her. Then, Yaritzel tells me to choose Stephanie so I won't choose her but I am. Sorry Yari. Ms. Nakada passed a packet out and I try to listen but Michael kept calling me. Well, Ms. Nakada tells us that November is National Novel Writing Month and we are attempting to do a 10,000 word novel draft, like why Ms. Nakada ? Honestly, it can be annoying writing a blog because you have to multitask ugh. When I first read the notes Ms. Nakada wrote, I was confused on why she circled the first two letters on each word and I was also wondering why it is called NaNoWriMo but silly me I figured it out, I was very confused. So, at the moment I am making an account because um I have to.  I'm waiting for my phone to load because it is going slow but that is because I'm always on social media. Yari comes and ask me if I am mad and I explained to her and she noticed that i was going to choose her. While everyone is writing their essays I'm just sitting here and Ms. Nakada turns on the movie The Outsiders which I saw before I finished the book. I didn't cry when i watched the movie but I did cry when i read the book at the end of chapter 6, yeah I'm kinda emotional. Well, I'm waiting for the bell to ring and Yari is singing along with the song and continuesley keeps singing the part "Gloriaaa." I'm looking at the movie and Yari saw the movie too and says the same thing Cherry says in the movie, we just kept laughing. I am not the only one who thinks Ponyboy is so cute, like very cute. Michael talks to much, I had to say that. The bell is about to ring and this is the end of my blog so bye guys.

T.O. Book Movie

HW RJ 11.3 p. 131-172

   So, before class I told Chris to not choose me. Then, Ms. Nakada asked him to come up and read his blog. He went up and read it. Almost his whole blog was about Michael, but anyways,  he chose me and I'm really up set because I didn't want to do this blog. But, while I was writing, Yari called my name and then started laughing I didn't know why she did that. Maybe it was because she wanted me to mention her in my blog.

So, after that, Ms. Nakada passed out the student led conference papers, while other students passed out grade reports, and your parent report that we turned in signed about two weeks ago. Ms. Nakada started explaining how to use the student led conference paper for tomorrow night. Then, Yari came by me to see how much I wrote, and while she was trying to stand back up she said peanut butter and crackers. Then, she told me she likes green apples and says "look Dory." Then, so went back to her seat and yelled out Finding Dory! I want to see that movie. Next thing you know, Ms. Nakada asked for everyone to make a pile at the aisle with RJ's and if you're not done with your essay, to come and get an AlphaSmart. Jason came up to me and told me to add him in the blog and say just write how nice he is and how he gives me candy. Hi, ERIN WAS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!  HI, YARI WAS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea what to write about and I'm really bored cause I'm writing the blog not because this class is boring. There is about fifteen minutes left of class and there is nothing to do except listen to this super loud class. Now, I see how Ms. Nakada feels about how loud the class is, I bet she's like wow this sixth period is super annoying but I still love sixth period. Ms. Nakada soon says if the class continues to be loud we are not going to watch the movie because it will take too long for about half the class to finish their essays. From behind me i can hear Michel and Jazlynn telling each other that they are stupid, but anyways there is a minute left of class and I got to go bye.

    We started off the period by listening to Jazlynn's blog. It was cool and all, but it was short. After that, we quickly started working on T.O Essay. Ms. Nakada started walking around grading RJ 10.1 - 10.4. Now, we are doing an emergency drill, so basically we are on lock down. I turn around and see that

Micheal is doing NOTHING. Now, he's getting frustrated by Erin. Then, he goes on by saying "Chris talk about me."

Now, Ms. Nakada is realizing Michael is being a problem so she tells him to start working. Well, you and I both know, Michael is gonna keep doing nothing. Anyway, I'm sorry if my blog is boring so far ... I just don't know what to talk about.

It's Tuesday and we get out early today, which is nice. At this point Ms. Nakada is getting very annoyed at the class but, more at Micheal. Someone banged on the door pretending to be a "Bad Guy" and well Micheal started to laugh. Now, Ms. Nakada is pissed at Micheal. I come to realize half my blog is about Micheal. Well he should be happy I dedicated half my blog to him.

Now, the class has sorta calmed down and so has Ms. Nakada. Ms. Nakada came to where I was sitting and checked my reading journals. The class is coming to an end with only five minutes left. I honestly love this class. Now, Ms. Nakada is collecting alpha smarts which we were writing our essays on. Well, I'm going to end the blog here. Goodbye :). Hi Erin was here !!!!

Adrian reads his blog and Jasmine tells him to pick me. So, here I am, once again trying to figure out what to write about :((. Jasmine wants to be in the blog. The question of the week is ''Do teachers assign too much homework?" In my opinion we spend a lot of time at school so why do more work at home? Erin comes by yelling at me to put her in the blog. Nancy, my Honduran sister, comes and also wants me to put her in my blog. Then, Erin starts fighting her for no reason. Jasmine and I start talking about mustaches. She's a weirdo :) <3. There's only like 5 minutes of class so bye.

HW-Have a fabulous weekend!

Class started off kind of loud, and everybody started to write down the agenda. Then, Ms. Nakada told Chaysen to come up and read his blog. Then, he picked me to do the blog. I think he picked me because last time I did the blog I picked him.

After that, Ms. Nakada starts to talk about the new book we just started reading, Inside Out and Back Again. So far, I like the book, but the characters have names that most people don't have. Then, we started to talk about people fleeing from their countries because of war,

refugees. Most people don't have a choice unless they want to die. Then, Ms. Nakada told us to make a pile of our reading journals so she could correct them. We started to talk about our essays, and she showed us the parts of our essays. I went to go get my reading journals. Some people came to get an AlphaSmart to write their essays if they were done.

It got really quiet when Ms. Nakada was grading reading journals.

HOMEWORK

• I.O & B.A p.1-40

The class began like always, a bit noisy and rowdy but quickly settled down (I plan on using words that are more simple and adding a personal touch). After the class settled down, Ms. Nakada began to pass out the new class book, Inside Out & Back Again, I read a couple of the first pages and the book seems pretty good. Next, Ms. Nakada called Daniel up to read his previous blog, he did a relatively good job on reading it and the ending of it was quite amusing. Once he was finished, he called me up, and I went to go write the blog.

 When I started writing the blog, all I could hear was Michael acting extremely boisterous, which was a bit annoying, but I guess that's him. The class started on the T.O. Essays we were working on the day before. Ms. Nakada gave the class admonition on how to find evidence for the writing prompts. I didn't really pay attention since I already found evidence for each one of my reasons. I then looked back to see if I could find a topic to write on and I guess David noticed and faked throwing his water bottle at me. Then, Daniel came up to speak to Ms. Nakada. His voice cracked when he said "lines," and it made me laugh. The classroom began to get loud once again, and Ms. Nakada said, "this is the loudest finding of evidence I've ever witnessed." That made me laugh too.

There are twenty minutes left of class, and I really don't have any topics to write on. I find it interesting that you can hear everyone in the class talking from the front. Classes were probably designed like that to help teachers identify who's talking. I turned around again to face Julian and "Davidé." They were talking about video-games, and I decided to add my input into their chat. After that, Ms. Nakada gave more advice on how to write the T.O. Essays. She gave people more examples and explained how they could be used. The class resumed to its normal chattery vibe and ran back into the situation of not having any topics to write on. I turned around once again, and saw Gabriel and Dylan playing with each other. Class is about to end, so, I guess this is me officially saying goodbye.

Here we go again with another blog. First, Max presents the blog. He does an O.K. job at presenting. Then, of course, he picks me. I don't why. I didn't do anything. 

Next, Ms. Nakada gives all the students an Editor Submission Form. It's supposed to be for our Quick-Write. Ms. Nakada starts talking about

highlighting, capitalization, and writing. Everyone then starts talking. It becomes very loud in the room. I feel left out because I'm sitting in the front of the classroom, alone, doing a very boring blog. 

The class continues to talk for about a good 10 minutes. So, since there's nothing to write about, I start finishing up my Quick-Write. Ms. Nakada, again, gives everyone another paper for The Outsiders. We have three prompts and have to pick one. Once we pick one of the three prompts, we create a thesis statement. Then, we move onto reasoning. We must write three reasons to support the thesis statement. The last part is to support your reasons with evidence. 

It's 2:45, and I'm unbelievably bored because I'm so fast at completing this blog and my work, that I need more of a challenge. Finally, the bell rings. It's time to go. Later.

So, I'm writing another crap blog in my favorite month Spooktober. Well, we first started off the class by listening to Gabriel's blog and, oh boy, there were numerous mistakes. But, I don't blame him. We all make mistakes. Anyways, we corrected his blog and moved on with our day. Ms. Nakada then told us to take out our Quick Writes  because we were going to finish typing them up on the Alpha Smarts. Well, right now I finished my Quick Write and there is only two minutes left. I hope you enjoyed my crap blog again.:^)

     We started class by changing seats and there was a lot of groaning. Bailei read her blog, and we found out Michael burned Bailei's finger. After that, she picked me to do the blog. We corrected Bailei's blog and did the week's quote and question. We saw on the projector some of Salvador Dali's paintings. Max, being the memer his is, is saying a lot of memes. 

This week's question was, "Is it offensive for sports teams to use Native Americans as mascots?" That is to me, a tad racist. Ms. Nakada showed us some sport team mascots and some were racist, especially the Cleveland Indians. 

Ms. Nakada passed out song lyrics to our class called, "Blue Jeans & White T-Shirts" by The Gaslight Anthem. That's when we started to talk about tones in literature and lyrics. Ms. Nakada played the audio version of the song, and it sounds like something that my sister would listen to  during our bus ride home. Erin asked if Ms. Nakada was crying to this song, which the answer was naw m8. The class made annotations to the lyrics of this song. Through this, the class was so noisy and disruptive. It took forever to get through the lyrics. Class is about to end, so I'll end it off here, bye.

Once again, I was chosen to do a blog in sixth period but this time it's all Jasmine's fault. As everyone is writing their second letter home, I'm sitting here trying to type, but my hand still stings from Michael

accidentally burning me with a hot glue gun earlier. Now, everyone is either typing their quick write on an AlphaSmart or writing on paper. Michael is really gonna get tripped down the stairs, because I can't focus with him making jokes & I'm really trying to finish my blog. Ms. Nakada finally finished grading reading journals and it's almost time to go home. This wasn't my best blog, but it was decent at least I got something done. It's time to leave now so bye.

I walk into the class and sit down. I take out my binder reminder. Genesis starts out the class by reading her blog. After that, Genesis picks me to do the blog. I go up and sit down at the spot where you do the blog.  I'm here now writing the blog. I look up at the board and see a paper on the screen that says "The Poverty Myth." I think they're going over it and annotating. I hear the phone ring and someone goes home. Now, the

class is doing a Quick Write, I think. Class is about to end, in like 10 minutes or 12 . Everybody is getting up now going to Ms. Nakada getting some typing thing (AlphaSmart) and showing the Quick Write. There's 5 minutes left now. That's all. Bye.

So, sixth period started out as normal. Well, as normal sixth period gets. Ms. Nakada told Diana to go read her blog, but she got shy. Diamond A. volunteered to go read the blog. Ms. Nakada told everyone to make a pile at aisle of R.J and to take out their "The Poverty Myth." So, right now Ms. Nakada is checking reading journals. So, right now that I am typing this blog, and nothing is going on. When I turn around to see what's going on, I see Michael dancing for some reason. When I turn back around, I see Michael dancing, and then, Ms. Nakada tells Michael to keep reading. Then, Michael realizes that there is a back to "The Poverty Myth." Finally, Ms. Nakada tells the class to take out their English notebooks and the class gets noisy. Then, Ms. Nakada tells the class that we will switch seats on Monday. Ms. Nakada is doing the 10

week grades. Ms. Nakada is telling the class how to see their goal on A.R., and now Ms. Nakada is telling the class who has passed their goal. So, as the bell is getting closer to ring, and I am getting really impatient. Sorry that this blog is boring, but it was a short day and nothing was going on in the class. The bell has rung, goodbye!!!!

Sixth period started the same as always, no shocker there. As we were writing down the Agenda, Dylan was called up to read his blog. When he was finished, Ms. Nakada asked him who he wanted to pick, and that's when people, those who should not be named, started shouting at him to pick me. I ended up here doing this blog even though I didn't wanted to, at all, never wanted to.

So, while I'm up here, I can hear as Julian, or Juan as he wants to be called, and Michael mess around, as usual, so nothing has changed. Since people weren't paying attention to the blog corrections, Ms. Nakada made the class take out a piece of paper and write it down instead. While the class was doing this, Ms. Nakada sent Julian out, because he didn't have a collared shirt, as always. When he came back, he saw his name on the computer and was trying and failing to erase his name from the blog. So was Michael.

As I look around trying to see what else I can write about, since I have no clue what I'm doing, I see the class doing what they normally do everyday. This is a very boring blog, and I would have deleted it but I couldn't, because I had to do this. So, as we were about to leave, and I was praying to get sick so that I didn't have to read this, Ms. Nakada was explaining "The Poverty Myth." The bell is about to ring so I leave you with this short and boring blog. Goodbye.

Sixth period started out quiet, for once. Then everyone copied the agenda. After that, Ms. Nakada told us to take out our English note books and talk about the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost. As I try to type this, Julian keeps on telling me to fix the agenda and stuff, but he also keeps bothering me by pressing the button that capitalizes the letters which messes me up a lot. Then, Ms. Nakada told every one to turn to a new page in our English notebooks. Also, in David's blog, the one that said that it was my fault that he was chosen for the blog, I did nothing. It's not like I told people to pick him. Then, Ms. Nakada corrects the blog before mine. Then, I hear someone call me burnt rice. As I think about it, that's racist. Then, Ms. Nakada told us to take out our quick writes from yesterday. She gave us examples of quick write topics like ice cream or family. The class was talking a lot  and they were kinda loud. Ms. Nakada told us that our quick write was our ticket to leave because we were talking too much. Well, the bell is about to ring. Sorry if this was short and boring.

In class, it started out as normal, loud. Ms. Nakada first told us to read our books. A lot of people that I could hear were laughing. As we were reading, a lot of people were talking in the back. I don't know why Max chose me. Probably because I skipped many blogs before. She was handing out the Star Test we did online. I'm not a very big fan of test that we do online. She then went on to our reading plan in our English notebooks. She gave us a part where we are to record our level for reading. On the paper it had a lot of acronyms. She told us we needed a goal to increase our reading. The goal is based on our star test. She told us how we can see our goals by logging in AR. She says we have to be half way to our goal. Ms. Nakada has already passed her goal. She tells us who did and didn't pass there goal. I wondered why time would go fast during certain classes. maybe it could just be me not paying attention.

Ms. Nakada open us up to a new page in our English notebook. She hands out a poem from the book we read, The Outsiders. She asks us what words we are uncertain with in the poem. During the class it was getting loud Ms. nakada actually yelled to tell us to be quiet. One words were green and she refers to a show why people call them each other that. The bell is about to ring, and I have nothing really to talk about. Bye.

Today was Tuesday, probably one of my favorite days of the week. However, it went from good to worse because David picked me to type up the blog.Yay...might as well do it. At the beginning of class, we listened as David read his blog out to the class. His blog was pretty neat. After that we had started to discuss the quote of the week and the question of the week. We then added to our English scores by adding scores for The Outsiders test, Book Project #2, and Reading Journals 7.1 - 7.4 .  Well, the day is almost over, so I'm awfully sorry this is short. Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed hearing me read my awful blog. Gotta go, my dudes!

P.S Sorry, this is short, but you can't blame me. It's Tuesday, and there is really nothing to write about.
