Well thanks to Sebastian I am now doing the blog. Its really not that bad though and I don't get why people are always freaking out about it. Anyways we started out our day as normal with writing down the agenda and hw, while Ms. Nakada passed out a sheet of paper with a bunch of Langston Hughes poems on it. We read the first poem called "Dream Vacations" and talked about it. Next we read a poem called "Dreams" and we talk about how there's two different dreams. A day dream and a night dream that you can either forget about right away or remember for the rest of your life.

After reading Langston Hughes poems Ms. Nakada passed out another sheet of paper with poems by Walt Whitman on it. The class then starts reading a very famous poem called "O Captain! My Captain!" and I'm pretty sure I've heard this poem before, but I can't remember where from. This poem is talking about president Lincoln's death and how the United States had to keep pushing through the war.

After reading this poem and understanding it we worked on The Book Thief notes. After writing down our notes we got started on writing our third poems for NaPoWriMo. Everyone is really quite and working right now except for Mariam and Sabrina who are laughing about something on a binder and Kameron who is just staring off. Never mind Kameron started working now. The bell has rung so I got to go. Bye
