 Today was cool. We came in the class and logged into illuminate so we could start working on our first paragraph of our narrative. Personally, I don’t like narratives but I know we have to. The narratives are pretty easy when we did the outline like you told us and then after that I filled it up with details. Great class today!

Today I was so tired. I was really unmotivated to do any work but I still did it so I don’t get behind. The walk-through for the essay is pretty boring to me because I know the guideline for a good essay. But, I know I have to listen and pay attention for others. Overall, it was a good class.

 Monday we came in and did a bell ringer. I liked this bell ringer because it was about our opinion on if who would we change the dollar bill faces to if we had chose. I chose Martin Luther King Jr. or Harriet Tubman because of their accomplishments and because they were black. Then we did a writing task on how to write our essay. It basically just laid out how to form an excellent essay. Then it was pretty much time to go.

 Today we shared our poems and mines was the only one that rhymed so I felt special. Everyone’s poems were great. I enjoyed them. After that we read some more of  “The Color Purple” and this section of Celie’s letters talked about her feelings towards Shug Avery. We stopped at letter 35. This was a great last day!

 

 Yesterday, we read more of  “The Color Purple” and I got to see more of Celie’s thoughts. After the reading we had to take a line or quote and make a poem based on it. I started on that and finished at home. But, yesterday was a pretty good day.

 Wednesday, I came in class and asked for the log in to finish the benchmark. Once I logged in I was lazy and extremely tired. I did like 1 response and submitted and logged in with the rest of the class so I can catch up on the book and the notes. We wrote several themes that our class made together on illuminate and submitted that. I was so ready to go.
