TKAM packet page 3

HW: RJ 2.2 TKAM ch.6

Well was the lucky guy who got picked to do the blog today. Probably because I'm the only guy who hasn't done it. After Danika read her blog we took out our TKAM packets and started working on page three. If I wasn't doing the blog right now I would probably consider focusing on that. Samson, you just got your requested shout out in today's blog. Your welcome. I guess I should actually work on my packet now instead of procrastinating with the blog. Everyone is pretty much just sitting around and talking at this point. Pr at least Samson and Tai are. Also Samson just got a second shout out in this blog. Again, your welcome. There's the bell. BYE!!!

HW Enjoy your weekend


We started off the class  by going over the our To Kill a Mocking Bird packet. Lourden read the blog and so did Ms. Nakada. Then she chose me (Tai). We were reading some of Sojourner Truth's speeches about how Jesus would not exist with out a women. Then we started finishing star test and completing the first two pages of our packet about Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I A Woman Speech." Ms. Nakada checked reading journals and then we watched the movie which showed Scout getting in a fight with Walter Cunningham and coming by for dinner. Scout complains to Atticus about school and Atticus explains why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.

Ms. Nakada starts off with TKAM summaries, and tells us that we will not be watching the movie today because the part we read (ch.2) is not in the movie. We then start/view a Narrative Structure Analysis paper, that we will be doing on every other chapter. Ms. Nakada then passes out a packet that has all the handouts we will need when she leaves. Everybody then decorates their packets and Ms. Nakada let's us watch 10min's of the movie.

     TKAM ch.1 summary

HW: RJ 1.2 TKAM ch.2



Today we started the day writing down the agenda as always. Later Isaac got in front of the class and told a poem in class called "Lorem Ipsum." This poem was amazing. Later we started watching the opening scene of To Kill A Mocking Bird. The movie seemed pretty good for one that was so old. Most of the students also agree with me that the movie sets a creepy tone. After watching the movie we began to write the summary for the first chapter. We only got through the first sentence when the bell ring. Bye.

Happy New Year!
Ind. Reading Plan for second semester
Intro to TKAM`
HW~ Rj 1.1 TKAM ch.1

We started the class off by getting new assigned seats. After that Ms.Nakada asked us to take out our English notebooks. We turned to a blank page and titled it Second Semester Independent Reading Plan. We wrote our first semester accomplishments and then our top three books we read. Then we wrote a list of books to read for the second semester. After that a few people share out their reading list. Next we turn to the next blank page and do an organizer about taking a stand. Before writing anything down Ms.Nakada shows us pictures that have to do with taking a stand. Ms. Nakada asks "why do people take a stand? and some people don't take a stand?" Yay! The bell rang, so goodbye.
