Scribe notes - Tyler Price


The ACC English class, period four, started the day with prayer as usual.  Mrs. Gill started out by saying the “Hail Mary” and the class finished the prayer.  Instead of praying the alternate prayer for November, Mrs. Gill recited the “Glory Be” and we finished that prayer also.  The journal today was “ouch” and the class had to write about an experience where they had gotten hurt.  Abby wrote about a fracture.  Kristen wrote about how she was fighting with her brother and her brother broke her nose.  Marc wrote about how he injured his chin.  After Marc finished reading Mrs. Gill talked about how most of the people in her family have had a split chin.  Mrs. Gill called on one more reader, Frankie, and he wrote about how he severely injured his knee.  Conversation then broke out within the classroom while Mrs. Gill was getting everything ready for our next objective.  Max then, out loud, stated something about cutting off heads.

                Mrs. Gill settled the class and explained to us our in-class project with our groups.  The saint quotes could be used on this because it was considered a quiz.  Kayla asked if she could have another quote since hers accidently went through the wash.  Mrs. Gill responded by saying that she had them recorded and they were also on edline.  Max had a random inquiry about how recently we have been given us tests on shortened days; but we have had many of those recently.  Mrs. Gill had thought that even though they weren’t planned that way, it might help people do better under pressure.  Sam commented saying that the writing might be sloppier.  Mrs. Gill then went into a short speech about the topic.

                We then got back on track by getting in our groups.  I could hear small chatter throughout the room, but other than that the room was quiet.  In my group, Hannah and Kayla tried to pronounce the word, “ignominy”.  Mrs. Gill overheard and she clarified they pronunciation of the word.  The class flew by and before we knew it class was over.  The homework was just to read The Scarlet Letter.
