Complete TKAM notes
Readers Workshop
HW: RJ 8.2 Read 15 - 20 pages of a book of your choice

Oh boy, it's Tuesday. A great day because we get released early. So we start off the day by having our daily blog read by David today. I haven't done the blog in a while so I knew I was going to be chosen sooner or later. And, surprise I was picked to do it today. Next, Ms. Nakada asks the class to take out their reading journals so she could make sure we did em'. Afterward we then are told to take out our class notebooks so we can finish up our notes. We then finish up our plot lines and start to discuss how Atticus took a stand for Tom Robinson and how other characters in To Kill a Mockingbird also portrayed examples of taking a stand. We then started to discuss about the TKAM AR Test. After we discuss the question and answers of the AR test, everyone grabs a device and gets to work while I sit here typing this.

Oh would ya' look at the time. The bells about to ding, and I feel awfully sick. See ya!

The question of the week is "What awards or honors does one list on college applications?" and the quote was "Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust." by Jesse Owens. Ms. Nakada then talks about how Jesse Owens proved to the world that the German's were not the best, or superior. Ms. Nakada then talks about oustide accomplishments that we may use to put on our college applications, such as bieng a musician, playing sports and getting to the finals/semi-finals, etc.
     Ms. Nakada then explains that we are basically aloud to slack off, but shouldn't. Ms. Nakada then talks about highschool and how if we slack off in highschool, you're basically going to dropout and waste a whole year and must redo that year. Ms. Nakada then talks about how some of her old students don't contact her because of them bieng ashamed. Gtg, I want to see TKAM movie, peace.

Ms. Nakada tells us to grade our reading journal, and then she tells us about the book Go Set A Watchman that tells about Scout when she is all grown up.

We start to watch the movie everybody, and it returns to being loud. Ms. Nakada asks if we want to watch the movie and everybody responds yes. Ms. Nakada tells Carlos, Michael, Jasmine and Julian to be quiet. The class goes quiet again and nothing interesting is happening. Ms. Nakada tells Michael that just because he has his hood on doesn't make him invisible. Nothing else has happened and the bell's about to ring, so bye.

     The class started Ms. Nakada called Julian up to the front of the class to read the blog. Julian read his blog and picked me to do the blog even though I told him not to before class.  Ms.Nakada has a conversation with the class then writes the question and quote of the week. Then Ms. Nakada tells the class to bring out their reading journals and starts to ask questions. Alot of people did not know the answers because they didnt read Ms. Nakada got mad and said something about how she was not gonna give them all the information and put questions like the one she asked on the test. Well sorry this is short but I want to watch the movie, bye.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  :)

AGENDA
BLOG/RJ
Book vs Movie

So, today as class starts ,Ms. Nakada said, "Take out your binder reminders and write down the agenda." So, as I'm writing the agenda, Diamond is reading the blog. While I'm just writing the agenda down. So, as always Ms. Nakada goes to read the blog as always. So, Ms. Nakada tells everyone to put everything away so we can get ready to watch the movie. As she puts the movie on, Jemieh, but as everyone calls him Tyray, said, "I haven't talked to you in a long time" and I responded back, "Yeah, I know." So, as the movie starts playing we get to see the part we read in the book where Atticus was in court defending Tom Robinson. In my opinion, I think this was my favorite part of the book. So, as there's 20 minutes left in class, I decided that I've summarized the class period good enough, and yea bye.

''Sonnet 18''
5 week grades
reader's workshop

HW RJ 6.5
TKAM  CH.23


           The class started off a little loud, but not too loud. Diana started off by reading her third blog. A After she read her blog, she chose me to do it. The class started by taking out their reading journals. Ms. Nakada started off by talking about the book To Kill Mockingbird.  While she was talking some people were being really rude. Ms. Nakada didn't get to talk about the book because some people didn't read the book. Earlier, Ms. Nakada had that if we didn't do the reading journal, we weren't allowed to go to the black history month assembly. Anyway, back to what I was going to say, after talking about the book we took out our English notebooks and did the five week grades. After we were done, we we glued ''Sonnet 18'' piece in our note book.
301
               
                  Then, Diamond wanted to read the poem. After she was done reading, the class was talking so much that Ms. Nakada had to tell the whole class to be quiet, and everyone knows that Ms. Nakada wasn't feeling well. We started going over the poem, and the class quieted down at that time. Ms. Nakada had to tell Micheal a whole bunch of times to be quiet, but he just wouldn't be quiet. After we were done, Ms. Nakada told everyone to pack up. The bell rang and that was the end of class. Bye

interim assessment
HW: RJ 5.2 TKAM Chapter 16

Another exciting, rainy day here at Emerson. We embarked on yet another day of the interim assessment (after I read the blog from yesterday).

It was a short day and students used the rest of the class period to get as much of the assessment done as they could.

Ms. Nakada's Blog for the Interim Assessment

Agenda
BLOG/ Q&Q
interim assessment
HW: RJ 5.1 TKAM Chapter 15

It was a rainy Monday here at Emerson when my sixth period came in. Then, the bell rang to start our English class.

Daniel read his blog from Friday, and then we went over the question and quote of the week.

The quote was from NBA great Jerry West. He says, "You don't get much done if you only work on days when you feel like it." I needed this quote this morning, because, to be honest, I was not feeling particularly energetic or like I was going to be able to get much done.

Then, we talked about the question which was, "What is mental toughness and how does it relate to success?" We discussed how the quote and the question are connected. If you can be mentally tough and believe in your abilities, you can become successful.

We then got iPads and keyboards and started on the interim assessment. Everyone logged on and was able to get to work. Everyone worked diligently until the end of the period.

The class then takes out their agenda's to check them and get points. We move onto taking out reading journals and grade. Nakada collects book projects and the class takes out books to start listening to the audio for To Kill a Mockingbird. The audio starts playing and I'm already bored. At the moment I have nothing to write about because everyone is quiet and the book audio is playing. There's about 20 minutes left until class ends.

Book projects due Friday !

Today, sixth period finally started off normal. Netalia read her blog and chose someone just like we do almost everyday. Once again, I was chosen to do another blog without wanting to, but I usually always put 100% effort into it while the rest of the class continues to carry on with their work. Nancy wanted to me to shout her out in the blog in some way so why not. Nancy's birthday is coming up so Happy super early birthday to you buddy! Now, the class is having an open disscusion about To Kill a Mockingbird and going over missing reading journals. We wrote English scores and recorded our grades. We recorded ways the movie is faithful or departs from the book.


I know sixth period started off rough because of our class's mishap yesterday with a substitute but in all honesty we're pretty good kids most of the time, some of us actually. No worries though, she stated she wasn't coming back to emerson anytime soon but since I have nothing left to really go on about. I choose Jason to do the next blog if he hasn't already. OH AND AN APOLOGY TO MS. NAKADA BECAUSE I WAS BEING SUCH A PAIN EARLIER but it was all for a fair cause though, I just couldn't interpet it in a more polite but thanks for putting up with us (Mostly me along with Nancy and Jason).
