Nick's period 2 scribe notes

Oct. 21, 2011

ACC English Period 2 was a relatively uneventful class today. And it was short. What a great day to be the scribe.  We start off the day with prayer, and I am told that I am today’s historian.  Since we haven’t read scribe notes for a while, all of the unsung heroes of the past few days go up to the computer and read their works. Andrew reads his detailed entertaining scribe notes.  Blake reads his non-descriptive, boring scribe notes. And Mike goes up to the board and starts to read what sounds like a mumbled African chant and sits down.

                After that, we write our journal prompt. Today’s prompt, labeled GEAR, features an American solider loaded with equipment, kneeling down on the side of a rural road. Michael reads his entry first. It was the typical “Michael” entry, with barely anything making logical sense, but still makes the entire class stare in awe at his genius. Annie reads her very deep entery about fighting for God and Country. Drew reads a humorous story about the scum on the soldier’s boot. And last but not least, Joe reads about a very, very angry solider that loves France, crap, and sons of biscuits.

                After that we talk about reviewing synthesis essays. Mrs. Gill passes out copies of Carlye’s essay (It’s was no secret Mrs. Gill; you failed). For the rest of the class period, Mrs. Gill tries to discover a way to hide future essay writers’ identities. She tries scribbling on her copy with Sharpie like an illiterate Kindergartener, but to no avail. It’s okay Mrs. Gill we all have rough days. At least it was a short period.
