Today's a minimum day, and the last day before break, and Ms. Nakada is giving us a gift of words, meaning, a couple of poems by Robert Frost. This blog will be rather short, and after this I have to finish an essay.
Now we are discussing one of the poems. Ms. Nakada is talking about the magic of watching snowfall.
Now we are talking about the solstice. My definition seems to have confused people.
If you are wondering, the school play is in February.

Now we are starting on essays. Now I am done with my essay.

Well,  it's my third time doing the blog this year, and I can't help but wonder if Sebastian picking me had anything to do with accidentally leaving him at the bus stop yesterday.  Sorry Bass.
Everyone is finishing up their Melting Pot essays, but I finished my draft yesterday.  There isn't much to  report, but I'm really mesmerized by Mrs. Nakada's book taping device.  It looks very fun to work with.  Quinn is taking a turn taping, and I'm a little jelly.  Kameron wanted to be in my blog, but I don't think it's a good idea to add a picture because of what happened last time, so shout out to Kammy.  ;)  Just got my eyes checked.  I guess not wearing my glasses isn't harming my eyes too much like my doctor told me it would.  I'm  packing up now.

           So here I am again, yes I know, I'm awesome. So, first off let me start by saying that I hate Orson! Just kidding, Orson is awesome, but not as much as me. So far, Ms. Nakada is teaching us about how to right the melting pot essay. We have to first finish the five questions, I think, so you can get the idea of what to write. I don't know what to write, but I can hear papers just rattling around. I just looked over to Quinn and looks lost while he's playing with his pencil. Everyone is moving their pencil and writing, Ms. Nakada wants us to write as much as we can because she wants to finish this before we go off on a 3 week break! Our essays are going to be longer than this blog because we are not doing anything but writing so there's really nothing else to say. We have about 4 minutes left so I'm going to pack up. bye!

Hi, everyone thanks to Rudolph, it's my turn. I read a couple of pages with my group. I really could not understand it because I kept getting lost because of Sparky. Sometimes when he reads he uses an accent which sometimes gets me lost. I did my book project on The Curse Of The Golden Flower. It's a book about a royal family and how they all despise each other. I did a scene and Facebook page, about the family. Erica showed me a page of her jacket or excerpt. I've been sitting here for a couple of minutes now and all i can think to write of at this moment is Daisy's pink hair i like it for Halloween Jesi suggested that she could be lava girl.

  Once again, It's my turn to do the blog, oh joy. Well right now we're reading A Midsummer Nights Dream Act 4 Scene 1. I feel like this is gonna take up all the class time so this blog might be short. We just finished reading. Why would Titania fall in love with a donkey? Okay so now we're doing writers workshop. We get to work on our novel or our book projects. My novels about how this bright light hits earth and then everyone goes crazy killing other people and such. Then I introduce these charectors who are different than normal people so they don't turn into these blood craving creatures. You know their crazy by their eyes, if they have no pupils then you know they've turned. It's not like zombies where they try to bite you. I mean the people who turn try to kill every living thing they see. I still don't know what my novel Jacket is gonna be. My book project is gonna be on this book called Divergent. Time to work on it so baiiii :) < Smiley face.

     So Erika's suppose to be here, but she refused. Anyways, we start class with reading the blog then getting into or companies. We read Act 3 Scene 2 lines 1-295. After all the sections we read I've barely managed to understand anything. But today the section was about Puck successfully poisoning Tatina but fails to poison Demetrius and ends up poisoning Lysander. So they both fall in love with Helena which sort of upsets Hermia. But Helena thinks their all mocking her. Drama, right? Tell me about it.
    We have a few minutes left of class so some people are working on their novel jackets and excerpts. By the way they're due Friday along with our book projects.
  That's the bell. I'm out.

I don't know how long this blog is suppose to be so it might just be three or four sentences and do i get something for doing this. It is very quiet today, is it because everyones focusing on the Shakespeare summary Ms.Nakada is writing. Heres a sentence from each act summary if you missed one, In Theseus court, Egeus brings Hermia , Demetrius and Lysander because he wants Hermia to marry Demtrius but she wants to marry Lysander. Act 1 scene 2 Quina is putting on a play with bottom, Flute, Snout and Starrling "Pyramus and Thisby."Act 2 scene 1 we meet Puck who works for Oberon, King of the spirits. Act 2 scene 2 Oberon places the flower nectar on Titania as she sleeps. That's it bye.

Now everyone moved their tables back to where they are and Ms. Nakada is doing English Scores.  We just added three more reading journal checks 13.1-13.4 out of 20 points.

Hi. I'm back to do my second blog after almost everyone, except me and maybe someone else, has done their second blog. Well after Daisy read her blog and pick me to do the blog, Ms. Nakada got everyone to correct either two or even three quizzes. Right now they are in the middle of correcting the second quiz with Ms. Nakada telling them the right answers. Earlier Ms. Nakada just said that it isn't okay for our country to ban books because our country has the freedom of speech. Now Ms. Nakada and everyone else only have one question left to correct, finally! It's kind of boring to type about the class correcting a quiz when you are doing the blog. Right now they are discussing the answers for the last question and they seem to be done now. Right now they are going to return the quiz back to the person who is in this classroom or making a pile for those who aren't here. For people who aren't happy with their scores are taking out notebook paper and writing the correct answer on that paper to at least get more points. Which I can't do right now because I didn't bring my backpack with me and is currently by my seat. I have to go and get ready to leave. The bell just rang, bye! Or in other cases, PEACE!

So we're back from Thanksgiving break today... yay. But that means that it's December, and the end of NaNoWriMo. I hope everyone had fun, though!

Ms. Nakada just did our final NaNoWriMo check *sobs silently in corner*.

As much of a challenge this past month has been, I've really enjoyed writing and it's inspired me to continue and write a sequel. 20,000 words seemed unthinkable to even attempt to write a month ago. I'm sure that we're all going to miss the shortened reading journals as well. Most of us finished, but there were still a few people who weren't able to meet their word count goal. Congratulations if you did, though!

Now, we're working on our reflections. The questions ask us about our word count goal, the challenges we faced while writing, and what we learned about ourselves as writers. Ms. Nakada is also checking all of our novels.

The bells is going to ring soon. I finished my reflection early so I've been sitting here doing nothing for the past 10 minutes.

Now we're packing up, which means it's almost time to go (obviously), so bye!
