As we all know there is a big difference between what is planned for class and what actually is achieved in class. Today, August 23, 2011, we were able to advance a tad further than what was originally expected. Our original objective is located below:
IMPROVE THESIS AND PERFECT CITATION
1) PRAYER & ATTENDENCE
2) SCRIBE NOTES
3) JOURNAL: BLUE
4) GROUP WORK: THESIS WORKSHOP IN TRIADS
Now allow me to share with you what really occurred in ACC English 3 period 4. The class started just like any other; we began with prayer where we recited the Hail Mary and the Glory Be. Then we jumped right into reviewing the scribe entry, and after one run through it was no contest nor surprise that Emily was awarded the “Good Point” trophy. After being amazed by Emily’s amazing work, we began our journal with the label of “BLUE” accompanied by the song “BLUE” which I know took us all down memory lane (especially Maddie who could barely stay in her seat). With the journal was a picture of a man with blue lumps all over his face. Our job was to explain how those lumps came about. We had great stories submitted by Lauren, Marc, Emily, Chris, and of course Joe. Those stories included everything from our dear friend Santa Claus becoming an alien to the Green Lantern defeating the Blue.
Finished with our normal daily agenda the class moved on to bigger and better things--that’s right--group work in TRIADS!!! Once groups were formed students edited their fellow peers in an effort to make their theses great for “The Last High School Paper”. One group in particular stood out above all with their strong discussion (it was really just yelling). This group included Tyler, Hannah, and Max. Although it wasn’t clear what their argument was over Max was sure to make his point in a table pounding manner.
RINGGGGG…… RINGGGGG….
As Mrs. Gill raced to the ringing phone she admitted how she had forgotten to take attendance (wasn’t that on the original agenda?).
“I Will Feed You!!!!”
Mrs. Gill is in need of members to fill her newspaper staff. You receive half a practical arts credit and the opportunity to inspire and impact the lives of your fellow classmates. The Newspaper staff is in need of anyone who is interested, so come one come all, and remember she will feed you. First meeting is 7:30 a.m. this Thursday.
Homework: Tonight’s home work for the students will be to complete the rough draft of “Your Last High School Paper”.
P.S. When I was writing this “Blue” played on my ipod, how ironic.
