Blog from Wednesday

-

 Hello, period 4, in Wednesday's class we went over the quote of the week by Emily Dickinson. The quote was "If I feel as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry." Then we went over the Question which was: "how do you feel about poetry?" After that, we listened to the song of the week, "Times They Are-A Changing" by Bob Dylan. We read "Because You Asked About the Line Between Prose and Poetry" by Howard Nemorov and discussed it on the Jamboard. We started talking about NaPoWriMo and then wrote a poem. After that, we went over the essay for Inside Out and Back Again and closed with working on that.

Ms. Nakada had us label our notebooks and start the table of contents. Every time I'm on Zoom, I kinda laugh because looking at the people staring at the screen looks like the hamster meme(lol). Next, we set up our journal: agenda, homework, the quote, the question, and the song of the week. This feels weird typing and doing work at the same time. It's a tad difficult, but it's fine. 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

Blog for Friday

We started the class with Ms. Nakada greeting us as usual. After the blog, we reviewed what we did on Wednesday and then read the poem, “Toy Boat” by Ocean Vuong. We started to have a discussion about what the poem meant. After this, we started our poem writing time. When our first writing time was up, Ms. Nakada shared with us blackout poetry. Then, we began with our second writing time. After that was done, people shared some of their poetry lines with Ms. Nakada, and we went into our literature circle groups. When we got back into the main group, Ms. Nakada went over our schedules for Hybrid learning.
