Then, Ms. Nakada played the take a minute, leading to complaints from unknown sources.     Now it's me, Hunter. After this, Tesa and Layla went up to read their blog, which earned us a point. Nice job. No one volunteered to write the next blog, so they told everyone who hasn't gone to raise their hand. One of those people was Hudson, who they picked. He asked me to write the blog with him, and I agreed. Thus, you are seeing us read this blog today.      After we went through the regular motions of a day, we moved into our lesson. First we read three poems, and talked about the meaning behind them. Aft...

I was then chosen to write the next blog because on Thursday I lost a game of Durak. After we finished correcting the blog, we read our daily poem, which was called, "How to Triumph Like a Girl" and was written by Ada Limón. I thought the poem was pretty good.
