Chris’s Scribe Notes for ACC English 3 Period 4

     To start out another great day of our English class, I heard a very weird conversation that Abby, Will, and Marc had.  They were conversing about why African Americans are called “blacks people” instead of “brown people”, since they think that they look brown.  They questioned why they even brought it up in the first place and they silenced themselves. 

     After the bell rang, the class began with the daily prayer, which included a “Hail Mary” and a “Glory Be”.  After saying the daily prayer, Abby came up to Mrs. Gill’s laptop and began to read her scribe notes, which looked like she wrote it in the form of an e-mail.  After Abby read her scribe notes, Mrs. Gill showed us our journal of the day, which was called “Picture the Music”, which related to a neurological condition called Synthesia.  This condition mixes up the afflicted person’s senses, so the person thinks that they are smelling letters, or seeing the sounds of the ocean.  Everyone in the class listened to a song, and they had to describe the song using their senses other than hearing for the journal.  Max wrote about how he pictured fast and slow people running up and down stairs to get to their destinations.  Marc wrote about how he pictured a delicious tenderloin and how the song made him angry for some apparent reason.  Hannah wrote about how the song made her imagine a girl at a ball, dancing to the music and a ballerina dancing to a solo. 

     Mrs. Gill is willing to offer someone the film of The Crucible, but she is going to find a way to share the URL with everyone, so that everyone is able to see the movie if they want to.  The test for The Crucible has been announced.  The test will take place tomorrow after debating when to actually take the test.  Thursday will not work because the first period of the day, which is period four will be missed by the Juniors because of the Junior Ring breakfast.  Friday won’t work either because people who are participating in Youth Leadership will be gone on that day.  Mrs. Gill sent every student a copy of the study guide of The Crucible through DyKnow.  Everything that should be studied includes quotes from the play, notes on the PowerPoint presentations, notes on drama, and the dynamic and static characters of The Crucible.  Everyone should be able to relate their American value to the play, and if it affected the play in a good or a bad way.   Not only is there a test tomorrow, but there is also an upcoming essay on The Crucible that will be started in class on Monday, and will be due at the end of class on that same day.  There will be certain sources that Mrs. Gill will put up on Edline.  About three of these sources should be compared and related to The Crucible, which is what the essay will be about.  Everyone grouped up into their American value groups near the end of the class period to get started on some ideas about what to pout regarding how their American value relates to the play.  After coming up with many ideas, another ACC English 3 class ended for Period 4.
