So after some technical difficulties finally solved the issue with being able to blog, comes to find out that it was my computer connection, not even the website, everyone was there this week so here is just a recap of it all.
Monday:
SSR
Senior Project Quickwrite
Writing Workshop
Writing Feedback
So for Monday we SSR'd for a few then we did our first session of WRITING WORKSHOP!
I thought it was really cool that we got this back again because like ortega said, we should always have some time for us to just write what it is we want. The choices we were given were;
Senior Project(s)
Reading Comprehension
College Prompts (If we remembered the question or had our writing piece from last year.
Shortly following this, we had a quick debrief for it and now we know that Literature Circles are going to be probably taking place on Mondays & Thursdays, and Workshops are going to be Wednesdays.
Writing feedback Ortega would like to do work with the person whom she has as scribe, but hopefully she will be able to either catch up or stay on top of the feedback. Since we all enjoyed it and great job to Elijah on his well flowing piece, you did an excellent job bro.
We pretty much did our usual routine of SSR.
We got into a quick discussion of the newest quickwrite we had which was writing about a time in which influenced us to choose or the reason we chose our senior project. Then we just had a short share out discussion of it all.
Wednesday:
SSR
Poetry Out Loud!
Everyone did an amazing job with their poems like Ortega said everyone was great we all have such amazing voice and great Ortega over each poem. Truly well done job to everyone and good luck Who ever wins will definitely be making it to county and guess what it means that this will be a road trip to Hollywood for South house to go and show our strong support.
Thursday:
SSR
Library Cards
Government Quickwrite
Literature Circles
Thursday started of regular, SSR and then we got down to the needy griddy.
Everyone is expected to obtain a Los Angeles County Library Card by Oct. 11th. You get an automatic E guys if you bring it in and show her by then so come one and jump on that easy chance.
First off if you do not have one you need to go down and get one, second you probably will need to take your parents because you have to be 18 dumb stupid legal reasons.
Then we followed it up by another quickwrite, this time asking what would it take to stand up against the government, and how. The stuff we mostly came up with was the simple fact that the reason has to be more personal based.
Then we started to discuss LITERATURE CIRCLES! The choices are...
1984 - Government using fear to control the population, in which Ortega loves the book yet is still a little freaked out about it
Butterflies - I think this was the title of it, basically how these good girls when from good to bomb making women who were out for the government and ended up being assassinated.
Persepolous - A 2 book graphic novel about a girl growing up in a very strict government I want to say Iran but i think that's wrong.
V for Vendetta - This is were we left off to the graphic novel, so just remember well pick up from here.
Overall it was a great week South House and CONGRATS on PEP RALLY we ruled like we should and supper sorry again for the lateness on theses scribes hope everyone remembers since you were all here this week.
Tony Tone Signing off
You will need the card by October 1st!
