Today was a pretty normal day. We first prayed as usual, and then Annie read her very well written scribe notes. Her notes were from the perspective of a pen named Phil. I personally have never known a pen with a name, but weirder things have happened. After listening to Annie’s extremely detailed notes we got out our journals. Today’s journal was entitled cool. We were supposed to write about a cool super power that we had accidently gotten. The scenario about the St. Charles County militia exploding some kind of nuclear weapon on 141 was the reasoning behind obtaining our super powers. This scenario sparked something in Nick’s head. He believed that this exact same thing happened on a TV show called Lost. Nick has been obsessing about this show for about a week now so it is no surprise that he would bring it up yet again. After this amazing comment by Nick we then proceeded to talk about the difference between cool and lame. According to Mrs. Gill some people picked some pretty lame super powers and she wanted them to be cool so she made sure she emphasized that to the whole class. We listened to the song Superman as we franticly wrote down our journals. Many people read today. Matt was the first to go and he talked about his ability to control time. He contemplated the advantages and disadvantages throughout his journal. Mrs. Gill was impressed with his choice because she thought that his was going to be one of those lame powers. After Matt was Emily who talked about her ability to bring people back to life. She told an intense story about how she had to bring lots of people back to life including herself. Mrs. Gill then killed this intenseness by asking if it worked on fish (almost all of our fish have died; Mrs. Gill blames it on the room). Kristen was next and she talked about her super strength and how it helped her to save Michelle. Mrs. Gill followed up Kristen’s journal with an anecdote about her daughter and how small her arms are. She says that at some points her daughter cannot open doors. I didn’t know how to respond to this story. We then all had a good laugh when Mrs. Gill mistakenly heard Nick. She thought he asked if his super power could relate back to his hormones, when he really asked if it could relate to his previous journal entry. Michael Kohlberg was next with his ability to put tape on the end of shoestrings. I honestly I had no idea what to think of this, but he believed it was better than super strength. Kara was the last to go. She talked about her ability to control the four elements and how she would use this to get revenge on the St. Charles County Militia. After this we somehow got on the topic of which we be a better way to die, freezing or burning. This was big controversy and it seemed to cause many conversations off the topic of English. During this time we heard sheep noises coming from the right corner of the room. I still do not know why. Finally we were back on topic. Mrs. Gill talked about the evaluation of the memoir and she described what she meant by each point (during this time some weird things were happening in the hallway). At last we got in to our groups. We worked in our groups until it was time to leave. This concludes the ACC English 3 class for the first of September.
