 Last week in Ms. Nakada's class we went over The Outsiders. The quote of the week was by Ruth Bader Ginsberg: "To those accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression." 

And the song of the week was "Keep Ya Head Up" by Tupac.  The song of the week had me feeling happy. The question was: How do you experience both privilege and oppression?

We also went over independent reading plans.  This is my blog.

The quote was from Ralph Waldo Emerson. I thought the quote meant was that even though the world that want you to be happy as somebody that you are not, staying true to yourself and not being something else to live up to societies standards is an accomplishment and is enough to be proud of. Then, we talked about how we wanted the COVID-19 to end so we could go back to school. Then, we li

Good morning, today during class I got chosen to do the blog. Which I wasn’t too excited about, but I will give it my best shot. Today, in our journals we started our week four page. First, we wrote our agenda and homework. Then, we wrote our quotes of the week because there were two quotes: "Nothing gold can stay" by Robert Frost v. "Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold." Then, we discussed which quote we liked more.  Then we wrote our question of the week: How should parents handle a bad report card? We listened to the song of the week which was "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman.  Finally, we discussed and wrote an elements of plot line for chapter 8 of The Outsiders .
