NaNo Letters!

Today Ms. Nakada started off by asking students for their usernames on the NanoWrimo website. She told us that we are in competition with one of her friends who is writing with a high school class.  We are ahead right now by 2%.:)  Now the class is getting laptops so they can begin to write their novels, so I better get to work!  We are supposed to be at 20% of our goal tomorrow.     

The Novel Writers

Now we are putting our computers away and getting ready for Shakespeare.  We are supposed to pass notes with somebody near us multiple times and talk about our novels, Shakespeare or other topics we can come up with.  Once we are finished passing notes, we are supposed to translate our sentences into Elizabethan English.  Some of the words we are translating include: YOU - THOU,  YOUR - THOU - THINE, WE - YE, and ME - THEE.  For any verbs, you add EST, 'ST, and ST.  Well, the bell just rang and I guess it's time for me to go.  Tuesdays are pretty short.
