So class started and Josue read his blog. I got chosen to do the blog and I didn't want to do the blog. Ms. Nakada told us that when she was grading finals grades were going down. So, Ms. Nakada decided not to include the final test and I heard someone say ''Ms. Nakada your so nice''. People started to pass out portfolios. All I hear is people talking and talking. I turned around and I saw Diana saying ''Hola and Janan saying ''Put me in the blog''. I heard Allyson calling Diamond and Diana calling Allyson. Mr. Hastings walked in and gave Jazzlynn a card. Erin then said ''They accepted you into the gifted program but you stupid.'' I still hear people talking. I turned around and I hear David asking Erin ''What is Janans last name.'' Well I guess I have anything to type about. Now Ms. Nakada is passing out Good Hours by Robert Frost and Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost. Ms. Nakada tells us to read the poem to try and figure them out and then go over them together. I hear Daniel saying 'Two winter plums.'' Nothing is happening and to be honest I kind of zoned out. People are discussing about the poem and Ms. Nakada was asking people have they figured out the rhyme scheme. Ms. Nakada asked what's this poem about and it's about a walk but it's not loneliness it's solitude. Ms. Nakada is explaining the poem. Ms. Nakada asked have you every been in deep snow and it make a creeking noise when you walk. There is only 10 minutess of class left. So again i zoned out for a few minutes. Ms. Nakakda ask when the darkest day of the year and people answer the Winter Solstice/Dec. 21. The bell has rang so adios and sorry for this boring blog. BYEEEEEE!!!

      Class started and Ms.Nakada started telling kids to get out of class and try to come in again without talking. Right after that happened Julian asked me for water I told him he could keep it if he didn't pick me he said "Okay." He still picked me.

Everyone is taking out red pens to correct the test. Chaysen kept talking and Ms. Nakada wanted to know why he kept talking even though he didn't have permission to talk.

I don't know what to write about. Julian keeps tapping his pencils on the desk which is annoying and he just asked if i wanted to see his "Sick beats."

We did AR after we checked the tests.

Sorry if this is really short and boring I don't have anything interesting to wright about.  The bell is going to ring soon. Bye.

HW Redemption?


        As sixth period started, Ms. Nakada told us to take out our binder reminders because we were gonna check if we wrote all our agendas down. As we finished checking our binder reminders, she asked who was the last person that did the blog and Diana quickly said "me." So, I knew that Diana was gonna pick me, because she kept telling me in math she was gonna pick me to do the blog.

We also did the quote of the week: "Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try." JFK

The question of the week was: Can money buy happiness?

Ms. Nakada told us to take out our notebooks so we can check if we have all of are notes in order and said "all of them are one point except specific ones." So, as there are twenty minutes left in the class period, I have to think of stuff to write about, but then Ms. Nakada said that she was gonna pass back our Nanowrimo word counts. So, as there are fifteen minutes left in the class period, I have nothing left to write so Bye.  Chaysen is beautiful.

HW: Enjoy your weekend!

REDEMPTION DAYS MONDAY-WEDNESDAY!

My sixth period class came in and I started class by reading the blog. Erin was feeling particularly feisty, and we talked for a little bit about this class's default being to talk rather than the default to be to not talk. Maybe I should have this class stop talking as soon as they come in and that will help.

Students cleared desks and continued the exam.

By the end of the period, most students had finished.

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

HW: Final Exam Thursday and Friday

My sixth period *silently* working on their final!
I know, shocking!

Students came into class, and there seemed to be a little bit of drama going on, but luckily it was time for English class, so everyone could forget about their own problems and think about Ponyboy and Ha's struggles instead.

Diana read her blog. Then, everyone got their essay pre-writing papers and English notebooks out, because they could use them on the exam.

Students had the rest of the period to complete as much of the exam as they could. They should be able to finish it up tomorrow!

Diamond read her blog, and when she finished, she picked me, thanks to Genesis and the other Diamond. I didn't want to do the blog again, but I'm here doing it anyway. I sat on the "blogging" chair thinking of what to write, but also thinking that this blog is going to be short and boring. As I looked around the room for ideas of what to write, I looked over at Janan who was mouthing something at me but I didn't know what.

Ms. Nakada started talking about our final exam and what we needed to know. I forgot some of what Ms. Nakada was talking about since I zoned out for a bit, but what I do remember her talking about was the The Outsiders book vs. movie.  During Ms. Nakada's explanation, I looked over to Jason who then waved at me. I looked over at Janan again who then told me to put her in the blog again since she was already in it.

Ms. Nakada started going over a paper we got on Monday that was talking about refugees and Inside Out and Back Again.

Sorry if this is short and boring I didn't know what to write or what I was doing. I don't even know if I'm going to read this or not, but if I do then it's a miracle.  The bell is about to ring, so BYE!

Blog / Q& Q

Novel submission

final exam review

HW review for the final

      So, the class started off a little noisy, until Ms. Nakada came in. We began doing quote and question of the week. The quote was "Be kind to everybody, make art, and fight the power." Colson Whitehead. The question was, should students erase / change things in class when the teacher is out.

After that, Ms. Nakada started talking about how she wants us to be a better student coming in and going out  and improving on how we act. Then, Ms. Nakada told everyone to take out our novel submissions and she told us how it should be stapled. Ms. Nakada said that we need to start planning ahead because teachers are not going to do things for you.

Michael was not listening, so Ms. Nakada told him to go to Mr. Bangert's room.

Ms. Nakada told us to take out our English notebooks and she told which pages we should refer to for the final exam. We started to take notes on the final exam review. We had to chose one quote or question to discuss.

We needed to know: the elements of plot, we needed to know the five steps to the writing process.

Ms. Nakada started to talk about how, even if Allyson's novel was short, she enjoyed it very much.

Ms. Nakada said we to write the rhyme scheme, metaphor and she might drop in an allusion. We also need to review The Outsiders book vs movie. We only had about three more minutes till the bell had rang and it was a Tuesday so I had to go. Bye, and also were all going to make sure our novel submissions are done.

We came into sixth period, and wrote our agenda & homework down. Anthony read his blog then chose me to write the next one. Then, we updated our class word count chart and congratulated those who reached 100%. We then took out our English notebooks, and worked on our Novel Submission Checklist. We next updated our grades and passed out graded papers. I'm stressing out right now because I don't know what to type. I'm currently filling out my NaNoWriMo Reflection paper, so that's why this blog is super short. The bell's about to ring. Bye.

Today, we came into class and sat down immediately. Next, after everybody sat down we started to correct Raquel's blog. She only had a couple of errors. After we were finished correcting her blog, she chose me. Thanks Raquel. :)

Next, Ms. Nakada walked over to the chart of NaNoWriMo to call out people's name, and see if they had finished their word count goal. Congratulations to all the people that have reached the goal! The next thing that the class was ordered to do was to, take out our English notebooks. The students wrote down in their notebook their new English scores. All the students were shocked to hear about all the big assignments coming up, especially our FINAL EXAM! Ms. Nakada said we also have to get our AR to 100%.

Later, Ms. Nakada asked for some help, so student could pass out portfolios. Thank you Jeremy, Evelyn, Jacob, and Duc for passing out portfolios and papers. After they finished passing papers out, they room started to thunder with talking. Everyone started to look at their scores, and talk about them to their seat neighbors. Kevin kept asking Ms. Nakada who had the highest scores on certain assignments. As I had turned around to see what the class was doing, Fatima gave me a nice smile and wave.

After, Ms. Nakada passed out NaNoWriMo reflection papers. The room was loud from everyone's conversations. When Ms.Nakada told everyone to get to their work, the room became silent. The classroom was so silent, you could hear the tips of student's pencils writing on their papers. The room was silent until Jeremy said, "Bet money!" out loud for the whole class to hear. I assumed he was trying to prove one of his neighbors were wrong, and he was right. Nick asked a question to Ms. Nakada, saying if students next year decide not to do NaNoWriMo, what will happen? Ms.Nakada made a funny joke saying that, that class grades will suffer. The room fell silent again. The class was still writing their reflections. The bell rang for nutrition, and Ms. Nakada dismissed the class.

After Michael read his blog, he picked me to do the blog, and he knew I didn't want to do the blog.

Now, everyone is finishing their novels or taking an AR test if anyone is finished with their novels. Julian is talking about how he is taller than his Mom. He asked if Ms. Nakada still believed in Santa Claus. Sorry if this blog is boring. I just have nothing to write about. Well, the bell is about to ring now. Bye!
