Hey my name is Chris. So, Ms. Nakada plaued us the message that is going home to our parents because something happened in the morning. So, now half of the class stood up and started tossing a rubber duck around the class and reading lines from A Midsummer. Ms. Nakada is counting down how long they take on saying their throwing cards. They took 4 mins on saying all their sentences that are on their cards. Justin and Victor started arguing because Victor wanted the duck lol :) Then the second side of the class the other side because the did there cards in 2 mins. So, I'm tired and I wanna go home :(

In our notes we had to write what:

Egeus wants (his daughter to obey him).
Hermia wants (to marry Lysander).
Lysander wants (to marry Hermia).
Helena wants (to marry Demetrius).
Demetrius wants (to marry Hermia).

Ms. Nakada passed out a sheet for us to get teachers to sign for the write in and then it was time to go.

Hey guys once again ! We came into class you know wrote down the homework. Justin wasn't

here so Ms.Nakada read it for him. By the way, it was a good blog. Then, Ms. Nakada asked which of the girls haven't done the blog. Roque yelled my name. I got so mad but it's okay. Then I said Amore, but Ms. Nakada asked who do you think Justin would have picked and Victor just had to say, "He would of really picked Kaylah." There I go walking to the laptop, here writing my blog. Ms.Nakada put on a brainpop about Shakespeare. It is actually very interesting. After that video I looked at Roque he looked very lost ! haha. So, then we read A Midsummer Night's Dream about Egeus wanting to kill his daughter because she won't marry Demetrius. She loves Lysander! Yeah, that's a little of what we did in class today. The blog wasn't that bad after all !

NaNoWriMo Prep

The class started off with Victors random comment about him being at football practice and him thinking of nanowrimo and then, gets hit out of nowhere. Then Ms. Nakada gave the class examples of things that have inspired us and she talked about songs. Then we turned to a page named "Good Book, Bad Book." She also told us we had to come up with at least 3 books that we thought were good. Three of her examples were Holes, The Book Thief, and The House at Mango Street.  We had to also list what we liked about the book. Ms. Nakada likes a compelling book that makes you wanna keep reading. Then we looked at the Character Questionaire and started developing characters for our novels.

Hey this is Yvette. We started the day with Ruben being late and ms.Nakada told him that if Roque came before he did that it would be a problem but Roque took it the wrong way. Victor started reading his blog and he did a good job at it. Yesterday, Ms. Nakada was teaching the class about how to write a poem and we learned about a poem called "Aristotle" By Billy Collins. He wrote about the beginning, middle, and end. Today is Tuesday so we get out early! :D YAY! ms.nakada was teaching the class on how to make a novel she gave us a brown paper that gave us instructions of how to make a novel. Ms. Nakada just told Roque that she would never invite him to her wedding. xD But it actually wouldn't matter. I think teachers can't invite students to party's .-. Ms. Nakada was talking about how if we wrote 10,000 words it'd be an A. Her Honors class has to write 20,000 words. :O. Well, it's  time for us to leave. Hope you have a great day BYE! :D

Hi, today in Ms. Nakada's class we are learning about Christopher Columbus and some of his goals.  I just learned Christopher Columbus was not such  a good man.

Now we are reading the book, and from reading it now I really don't like Christopher Columbus. Well, I don't know what to write anymore and I want to go back to my desk to catch up on our work...
