The Writing Process
In Ms. Nakada's wonderful class, we first got our binder reminders. Then, we started writing the Agenda and homework. After we went over Ron's blog to correct all the mistakes, we took a minute to get our books out. Later, we went over the book School Trip, and we talked about where they were in Paris, and how one of the chaperone looked like Mr. Watson. We were also talking about idioms. In the book, some people wanted to do one thing, but some wanted to do other things. Once we were done with School Trip we worked on the three word summary, and then we went over the "Week 2 Quote; Question Sing Lines" by bell hooles, and wrote three sentences about the main question "What do you think about school?" After writing our answers, we talked about them. Later, closer to when class was about to end, we listened to Marvin Gaye and wrote what it's about and our favorite lyric. Then we left!!!
