Reader's workshop


Homework-

Finish books by this week!


Helloooo, I'm Goldie. Nutrition felt empty, and the classroom felt the exact same. All my friends were off acting or leading tours full of elementary schoolers. The only other girls in the class, Daniella and Miriam, stood up at Ms. Nakada's desk to read their blog from yesterday. I already knew they wanted to pick me for today's blog because outside the classroom, Daniella told me she was going to choose me. I took my seat after trying to convince Liam to participate in the blog aside me. I actually never wanted him to do it with me, I kind of just asked that to spite him. We started off class by participating in our take a minute. I was entranced by the graphic of the ball rolling in the box, like a cat following a laser. Next, this week's lines were passed out. "Hanging Fire" by Audre Lorde. I felt empathetic towards the narrator, because I know what its like to be 14, because I have been in the same exact circumstances that they wrote about. As a class, we discussed the meaning and the tone. We then transitioned into reader's workshop. I did not read at all because I needed to type this blog for you people. Some thoughts I had while typing included, my hair disintegrating onto everything I own, my finger turning purple from where my turtle bit it, and how much I want a pet bunny. Molly taught me about her role in Mean Girls, Martin. Martin is now my favorite character. We had some tours walk through the classroom, and Alex told them where they go to school. Okay. Well I don't really know what else to say except, can someone please buy me a bunny. And also I will NOT be picking Liam for the blog. Toodles for now.


LOOK HOW CUTE

Lev's Fourth Blog

Agenda: Take a minute Blog corrections week 11: Lines NaPoWriMo Today, we sat down in English and wrote down the agenda while the Take a minute played. Ruby went up and presented her blog, and then chose me to write the blog. After that, I went up to the desk and started writing. We reviewed the grammar from yesterday, covering three specific comma rules. We then discussed a quote by Emily Dickinson, and talked about the feelings that poetry can invoke. Next, we talked about the question of the week, "How do you feel about poetry?" Once we finished that, we read the lines a couple times, then analyzed the lines, a poem from Howard Nemerov. Next, we were asked to write a poem in the same format as the poem we read. I wrote a poem answering questions I got when ESA went to the UCLA water polo match. Then, class was over, so we packed up and left.

Rahm and Sam's [Hriday] Third Blog

  Agenda: - take a minute - blog/corrections - week 3: question - readers workshop Homework: Finish books this week! Hello, it's me, Hriday! Today we all walked into class, talkative as usual, and settled down into our seats. We all copied the agenda down into our binder reminders (I was a little late to do so), and Ms. Nakada started our daily take-a-minute video. I did not take a minute, as I was scrambling to fill in the binder reminder entries I had missed while I was absent. Once the take-a-minute video was over, Jaden came up to read his blog, and Ms. Nakada corrected a few mistakes. Next, Jaden had to decide who he wanted to choose to be the next blogger, so he asked if anyone wanted to go. Nobody raised their hand (as usual). Since nobody raised their hand, Jaden wanted to do a large game of rock-paper-scissors with the people who had not done the blog yet. Over thirteen people stood up, and Ms. Nakada deemed that the game would be too time consuming. Ultimately, it was dec...

Sigi's First Blog

 Agenda: - Take a Minute - Blog/Corrections - Week 5: Song - School Trip /Reader's Workshop Homework : Read 100 pages of a book of your choice by Monday 9/15 Hi, it's Sigi. Shortly after entering Ms. Nakada's classroom and doing our daily "take a minute," Layla read her blog, which was very well written. Ms. Nakada read one of her former students' letters to us, and she  had very good advice that should be taken into consideration. Our class reached ten points, yet again, and we decided on getting pizza for our reward. The song of the week is called "Non Je Ne Regrete Rien" by Edith Piaf, which is about living now, and not getting stuck on your past experiences, so you can enjoy life to the best of your ability. Some words we used to describe the tone of this song were motivational, urgent, and robust. Next, we jumped right back into School Trip , discussing subjects like becoming someone new, family traditions, unintentional racism, French vocabular...
