    Homework: Get ready to novel

                    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 talked about the setting! Like where, when, and what time. now we talked about plot twists.

    We started off the period by coming in and taking our seats, doing the agenda, and Ashkan reading the blog. Afterwards, he choose me for this one. Then, Roxy, Ms. Nakada, Dubin, Alejandro, Enrique, Ashlyn, and Larry came up and showed their creatober drawings. 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.

We open the table of contents in our notebooks and write Essay Basics for pg 21. 

    

    Everyone starts arguing about how many sentences a paragraph should have and Ms. Nakada said a paragraph should be as long as you need it to be. Ms. Nakada reveals the fact that there is extra chocolate cake and everybody starts getting excited. Right after we ate the cake Ms. Nakada reveals the schedule for November and we have the whole entire month to write a 20,000 word novel. Finally class ended and we got to go home.

    As soon as we walked into class, the fire alarm started ringing- which woke me up. We all walked out to the field and immediately had to talk back to class. Once we were settled, Devin got up to read their blog, and then chose me. After that, we did CreaTober, and Roxy, Miles, and Emmett, came up to show theirs. Then, Ms. Nakada went around collecting people's book projects. Somebody made a chocolate cake for everybody. It was really good. Then, Ms. Nakada told us all to pack up, even though it felt like we still had an hour of class left. Then, the bell rang, and we got to leave.

    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.
