NaNowriMo prep

HW Make sure your ready for the NaNowriMo !

So, first I walked in class late and Ms. Nakada was mad 'cause she thinks when we're late every day it becomes a problem. Then, we took out out agendas and wrote down the agenda. Then, we took six minutes of class time to do the Inktober. Then, we had a problem with creating the accounts for the NaNowriMo. Then, we took out the packet and filled out our character question paper. Also, we discussed the area of where are characters will be at. Then, we talked about how Rosemary is a chola for Halloween. Ms. Nakada said she looks like La Vida Loca. We also talked about what a main character is. Angel and Ms. Nakada discussed why people join gangs for a brief moment. The class and I talked about plots and made an example out of a roller coaster. We discussed how the class goal is 10,000 , Ms.Nakada said, "I highly recommend we should do a 20 day plan" she also said we should try to complete 500 words a day.

Q.Q Song
Inktober: Catch
NaNoWriMoPrep
HW: RJ 11.1

First, we start out like any normal Monday (although it was a Wednesday.) with the blog corrections and then quotes, questions, and songs of the week. The quote of the week was: "If there is a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." Toni Morrison. The question of the week was: Do teachers assign too much homework? My answer is obviously yes because nobody wants to waste their time doing homework. Let us be kids because by the time we know it, we have a job with a whole lot of responsibilities. Then, we talked a little about the question. Next, it was the song of the week. The song is "You are the Everything "by R.E.M. The rest of the class got a little bit distracted because tomorrow is Halloween! I got distracted as well and thought, when you paint a house, it gets bigger. But, when you paint a room, it gets smaller. Anyway, back on topic we started to talk about the song. We got on a subject of a paradox because when you're still, you're moving still. You hate and love your parents. It's confusing, but yet very interesting. Then, we began on Inktober. The theme was Catch. We sketch our art for about 4 to 6 minutes.

Then we went to the ywp.nanowrimo.org and logged on. Lastly, we packed up and went home.

We did Inktober and the prompt was: ancient.

We are now reading our books for reader's workshop. But I'm just posted up about to take out my books. Destin wants to be in the blog, so here it is ;).

Derrick told us that kids purposely did bad on the AR Test. I don't really know what we're doing right now. The class is very quiet and that's unusual. Our class is always loud. Ms. Nakada is proud 'cause we weren't loud.

Next, we started reader's workshop and read and read and read a little more, until I asked to go to the bathroom and got rejected. So, then the bell rang, and we all left.

We all got of topic and started to discuss about school shooting and school lockdowns. Once we got back on topic, we watched a video. Then, we wrote down Question of the Week and Song of the Week and talked about both of them in class. After, we all took our InkTober notebooks out and drew treasure. Then, I asked Ms. Nakada if she has another book she has wrote that I can read. She then mentioned how her upcoming high school book is coming out this week, and I'm very excited for that because her middle school book was amazing. Lastly, we all went into reader's workshop. The bell rang, we all packed up and went home.

First, I was the last one to be picked for the blog. Then, we checked each others agendas with red pens starting with September 16 to October 11. The question of the day is: "Should we celebrate Columbus Day"? I said yes, if it means there is no school. The song of the week is "Redemption Song" by Bob Marley. This song is about freedom and how the system was controlling what we are thinking. After that, we got out our Inktobers out and the theme was overgrown. Then, we got our English notebooks out and wrote two faithful and departs. Then, we left to go home.

When we got to class, Prasiddha (I don't know how to spell his name) read his blog, and then we corrected it. After that, I was chosen to do the blog. First, we did the quotes, questions, and songs and talked about all three of them. I lost track for what we talked about for quote, "If you do not answer the noise and urgency of your gifts, they will turn on you." Joy Harjo. I remember for the question, we talked about things that are offensive. And the song we listened to was called "Hawai'i 78" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. After the quotes, questions, and songs, we did InkTober and the theme was enchanted. When we were done with InkTober, we worked on our Outsiders essays, and that was it for the day.

       In the beginning of class, we wrote the agenda down in our binder reminders. Afterwords, Irvine read his blog to the class, and we did blog corrections. For some odd reason, the majority of the class told him to pick me. All of us were told to show Ms. Nakada our RJs, and draw a picture related to Inktober theme: bait. After that, we opened our reading journals to our Essay Basics page so we could write our essays for the prompt: Will Ponyboy Stay Gold? Ms. Nakada was getting annoyed with the class (I can see why) because most of the class particularly the left side of the room (her left) was loud and disrespectful. Certain people in the class who happen to always, and sometimes disrespect her and talk back to her, were sent out of the room to other classrooms. Finally, it was the end of a long day and we all put all of our belongings in our backpacks to go home.

Next, we started to write in our journals about the basics of essays and talking about what to write in our essay to make it better. Then, we wrote reasons why Ponyboy will stay gold or not. Then, we packed up, put our chairs up, and went home.

Q-Q-Song
Inktober: Ring
HW: Read for 20-30 min. & record.

First, we wrote our agenda. Then, we wrote our Q-Q-Song and talked about Maya Angelou's story when growing up. "You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have." After the question of the week: How can daily life spark creativity? We listened to "Keep ya head up" by 2 pac. The lyric I liked the most is: "Even know your fed up, keep your head up." I think the song is to cheer sad,and down people up,and respect them. Then, we did our Inktober drawing, which was ring. Last, we packed up and went home.
