I knew it was over...

In Mr.Rease’s class today my group and I discussed our oral presentation. We were assigned chapter 12 and present on Thursday. Today we basically found my deep thought quotes to explain for our project to the class. We also produced some very well thought questions and prepared to discuss them with the class. In class we also had a quick write to take the place of our chapter 10 and 11 quiz. We were assigned to write about how “we knew it was over”.

Chapter 7

In Mr.Rease’s class today we skimmed through chapter seven in the book “Wild”. We discussed many different things that happened in this chapter. The title of chapter seven was called “The only girl in the woods”. In this chapter the main character meets six other men on the trail and began to build a relationship with them. We spent most of our time discussing our book like usual. We also had very interesting topics today in class.

Pop Quiz

My first day returning back to Mr.Rease’s we had a pop quiz on chapter seven in our book. It was fairly easy only three questions but yet so difficult. In class Mr.Rease shared a few of his hiking moments he captured by picture. We then read a poem by Langston Hughes called “The Negro Speaks of Rivers.” We then determines our ethnicity, race, and nationality. Mr.Rease also showed the class his family tree and how deep it rooted. I’ve also noticed the temperature in the class has changed it is no longer freezing cold. Thank the Lord!!

Test Day

Today in class we took our test on test on “Wild”. We took a test on the assigned chapters three and four. After our test we went over our answers. I think I did pretty good on my test considering I read the book. I’ve now learned to read deeper into my text and point out important things that may be on the test. I say this because some of the things on the test i remember reading I just can’t seem to put my finger on where it was in the book.

The book

In Mr.Rease’s class today we read and analyzed chapter 2 in the book “Wild”. We looked deeper into the book rather than just reading words. We also went over our three critical reading questions. The questions asked today really made you think and look deeper into the text to find your answer. I also highlighted more important details in the book I knew I would need.

Wild

Today in Mr.Rease’s class we read the prologue in the book “Wild”. We also started reading chapter one. While reading I highlighted key points that I could record in my reading log. Since I already read chapter one prior to today I went more in depth into what I was reading. I made sure the little key points I didn’t catch the first time I caught the second time. While Mr.Rease was reading I drew a picture mentally on what I heard and what I thought was going to happen in the book. Class was very informative as always  and I can’t wait for tomorrow.

Audiobook

Today in class Mr.Rease was absent so we were in Ms.Well’s class. In class we decided to popcorn read our book “Wild”. But, of course that didn’t work. So then we found an audiobook and listened to that while we annotated and took notes on our book. So far the book is pretty good and i’m excited to continue reading it. Tomorrow in class hopefully we’ll discuss the book and read chapter two.

Half Class Day

Today in class we started learning about our book we will start reading next week. We also discussed what ten essential things we should bring on hike. All of these things were related to the book we were reading. We also learned about black and grizzly bears and watched a couple of videos on beat attacks. Our classroom and learning time was cut short due to the pep-rally. I also learned we will be reading the book “Wild” for about 3 weeks. After we left class we went to the pep-rally which was very boring and spiritless.

Arguing

Today in class we returned to reading the “Thank you for arguing” book. In class we went over tests and discussed our mistakes we made with our claims. We also chose partners and argued on who should write three paragraphs for homework. In all honesty I believe I won. Class was very informative today and I can hardly wait for tomorrow’s lesson.

Sick

I did not attend school today unfortunately.

Thank you for arguing.....

In class today we learned about arguing while reading a book called " Thank you for arguing." We learned about arguing and fighting. I learned that in an argument they try to win you over. In a fight no one wins you just go back in forth with that person. I also learned that fighting is no argument it never persuades it only inspires.
