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.
