Wednesday's Blog

By Liam

For class today we started out by reading the blog. We then headed over to the Jamboard and discussed the quote of the week: "Awards become corroded. Friends gather no dust" by Jesse Owens. 

The question of the week was: what awards and accomplishments can you include on college/scholarship applications?

Then, we listened to the song of the week, "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" Boyz II Men. 

After the song, we all listened to each others poem for the poetry slam. 

Ms. Nakada then helped us with the assignment 10 year plan and that closed out the meeting.

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.
