                    We started the day off by writing down the agenda. After  writing the agenda, we got our computers out to set up the NaNoWriMo for tomorrow. The next thing we did was let William read his blog. After he was finished, he chose me to do the blog next. He chose me last time so I don't think I should've been chosen. We then started doing the song and lines for this week and midway through, there were candy grams that got delivered. We then continued the notes from yesterday and talked about what our plan for the NaNoWriMo is. When we finished the notes, We packed up stacked our chairs and when the bell rang, we left.

We talked about characters!  like the main character or protagonist. we need to think about their name, gender, age, race, family , unique qualities, what they wanted more than anything else, and simile that fits your character. next she mentioned a supporting character, and the antagonist .

Then, we turned to our essay basics page in our English notebooks where Ms. Nakada was telling us how to correctly structure an essay and all of the different types of essay structures that we could use. We had a little thing about effect and affect and what is the difference between them and when to use one or the other. 

Then, we moved on to Q - Q - S - L to finish up our line for the week called "The Poverty Myth" by Jacqueline Ching. Then, another fire alarm happened for the second time this week in the same period, of all times. We then found the thesis statement right after we finally came back from the field and also found the organizational structure of the lines of the week. Then, we packed up and left for the day.

    I walked into sixth period after an uneventful day. I walked to my seat and wrote the agenda down in my binder reminder.  As I was finishing writing the agenda, Ellie got called up to read her blog. Before she sat down, Emmett asked her to pick him so he could get it over with and Ellie seemingly agreed while I strongly disagreed. When she was done reading the blog, she chose me. I didn't mind, just as long as Emmett would be the last to do his blog I was fine. I packed up and went to sit down to do my blog. 

Ms. Nakada tells us to take out our reading journals and listened to the song of the week. The song describes leaving town since their home life is bad. The singer says that her Mom left because her Dad was an alcoholic. The singer also tells of how she found someone and wanted to run away with them but their life turned out the same as her parents, with the love interest drinking and going to parties. She then asks him to leave. This song is about hope. 

We then finished the movie, and Lena jumped onto the floor in an attempt to mimic Dally's silly death. Then, we packed up and went home. Wahoo.

We started off the day by Dani reading her blog, and I told her to pick me because I have a little surprise for Keziah. I then came to the front where I almost fought a chair for being tied with the other chair but it's ok. I feel like something always happens when I write the blog. Anyway, we started on CreaTober and Ms. Nakada read out all the prompts. We silently took five minutes to draw, and I drew a house because my Creepy/ cozy prompt was home. The timer went off, and Ms. Nakada asked how everything went. Miles and Lena went up to the front of the class to show their drawings. Miles drew a really nice fortune cookie  and Lena did this amazing drawing for FaceTober. 

Last minute, Roxy and Emmett came up and share and the both did amazing. I also went up and showed one of many of my drawings (it was slay). Cash also made a super cool drawing. Then, I made an announcement about Fredrick being in everybody's closet at once. We then started a conversation on chapter 8 and some people discussed their opinions.
