HW: Read and Write a poem a day

William 

Molly - 

Class started, as it often does. We all took our seats, wrote down the agenda, and read the blog. I was then chosen to be the next blogger. While doing corrections, William offered to go up with me. Luckily, he wanted to do it... 

I did. You're welcome. Next, we watched the 2007 NFL halftime show, featuring the creator of this week's song, Prince. 👑💜! (SHOUT OUT MAYA, stay fearless.) This led to our discussion about Prince's streaming issues, but since he died, we can finally enjoy the legend himself. After, we took out our chromebooks, and started the week 14 quiz. Then, we wrote poems. QUITE delightful. 

Next, we wrote poems for NaPoWriMo Day 23, and Sigi and Maya shared theirs. VERY GOOD. We proceeded to read, "Good Bones," by Maggie Smith, which was very pessimistic. (Shout out Hudson) 

Once we finished reading, we watched a live reading of the poem, "My life stood a loaded gun," by Emily Dickinson, and a response poem, "Yellow Light." by the readers. The poem was very moving, and had a clear message. 

To finish, we had some time to work on our NaPoWriMo submissions. William... STOP WRITING FOR ME. *breathes in and out slowly with anger.* During this time, we worked on the blog, and William showed me his poems. #Amazing! #Inspiring #If only I had Williams poet instincts. 

As we were working, the bell rang, and we packed up. Ending another magical day in English class with Molly! I am so happy to be her friend! She is AMAZING! 

(Disrespectful of Hartley to leave 😥).

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...
