Chum Bucket

First, we wrote and corrected the blog.  Then, we did Q. Q. & Song.  The quote was from President Obama.  We talked about Hamilton for the song of the week which was "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story." We read Inside Out and Back Again . Then, we went into break out rooms and read  Inside Out and Back Again. We talked about the poems and also talked about the homework of our collages.

We listened to Amanda Gorman, the inaugural poet. On Friday, we all were put into breakout groups to discuss and read a poem together. We talked about the summaries for I.O.A.B.A. We took a quiz on what we learned this week. 

On Wednesday we corrected the blog. We did our Quote, Question, and Song of the Week.  Quote: "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stand in times of challenge and controversy." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  Question: Why is it important to take a stand?  Song: "Eyes on the Prize" by Sweet Honey in the Rock.  We wrote in the Jamboard and read the poems in Inside Out and Back Again . Then, we made summaries for IO&BA and after we submitted the assignment, we could go. 

Today in Ms. Nakada's class, we finished up some old notes from Wednesday. After that, we went to the Epic website and we read the first poem of I.O. & B.A. We took some small notes while, and after reading. Then, we all took the week one quiz. 

  Today, we started by doing our agenda and writing down our homework for this week, which is easy because we only need to relax. After that, we wrote the quote of the week: “The woods are lovely dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep” by Robert Frost. The question of the week was: What was the best/worst part of 2020? Lastly, in our notebooks, we wrote the song of the week: “Hazy Shade of Winter” by The Bangles. Finally, we wrote our gift of words in a Jamboard and did a course evaluation google form.

Today, the first thing we did was our agendas. After that, we wrote down and discussed our “ Quote Of The Week,” “Question Of The Week,” and “Song Of The Week.” Quote: "I had for my winter evening walk No one at all with whom to talk. But I had the cottages in a row Up to their shining eyes in snow." Robert Frost's "Good Hours." Question: What is the difference between being alone and being lonely. We listened to our “Song Of The Week”, Which was “Message In A Bottle”, by The Police. After that, we worked on our -Book Creator App- , which we did for the rest of the period. I was also able to finish my book on the book creator app.   

 Today I was chosen to do the blog. The first thing we did was finish, unfinished work. Then, we took our NaNoWriMo novels and turned them into books. It took the whole period to make the books look fabulous. That’s all we did for today.=)
