The Book Talk

As usual we started off with a prayer

Then Mrs. Fant was introduced by Mrs. Gill by saying that we were having a book talk

The book talk took about 20 minutes of the class and then Mrs. Gill told us that she was going to give us cupcakes

Then she turned off the light and lite the candles on the cupcakes and most of us were wondering why her lighter was spazzing out.

Then we all ate our cupcakes while Mrs. Gill start to pass out papers

At the end of class she brought out some candy for whoever got a 100% or higher on the test

P.S. No Homework tonight

2. As soon as we sit down, Nick and Zach start talking about Dexter. I’ve never watched Dexter; I’d much rather watch Psych.

3. Mrs. Gill tells us that a Dr. Styles has been overseeing her ACC classes to see how we’ve been doing. Mrs. Gill tells us that she is pleased with the progress we’re making. She thinks we’ll be very prepared for college, which is pretty important so that we all can be what we wanna be when we grow up and chase our dreams and all that fun stuff…

4. We finish editing our journal expansion essays so that we can submit them to Mrs. Gill. I wrote mine about working at Kanakuk Kamps.

5. Mrs. Gill censors Gina’s scribe notes. Apparently there are some things women shouldn’t mention in front of gentlemen (because they have cooties).

6. We look at the other class’s scribe notes, and make fun of the anonymous angry scribe who was angry at Mrs. Gill.

7. We talk about our American Authors assignment, and then we’re done for the day. We still have a lot of time left, so Mrs. Gill lets us have a study hall. Whoo! FREEDOM!

8. Mrs. Gill asks for stuff for the newspaper.

10. Jeffrey and Michael start arguing. According to Michael, Jeffrey hit his tire and it broke. Jeffrey denies this.

11. Katrina is working on her Physics, and I should probably start mine too, but I just don’t want to. It’s been a long morning and I can’t concentrate.

12. Mrs. Gill, completely out of nowhere, asks if anyone has ever acted in a Shakespeare play. There’s a rather long silence….

13. Class is over. It’s lunchtime!

Homework:

At some point we’ll be writing a Literary Paper between 12-15 pages (that just sounds utterly delightful, don’t you agree?). We’ll also need to have read enough of our author’s works to make generalizations about them, as we’ll be writing a piece later on imitating their writing style.

Period Two ACC English...what will happen today?

Today’s class did not begin as usual. Many students were wound up I was entered the room. Quickly, I found out that what Matt believed was a colorful highlighter was actually something else.  Nick was freaked out because it was next to his desk after Matt launched it across the room upon finding out what it really was. I saved the day by getting a tissue and throwing the item away. Mrs. Gill, talking to a sophomore student, was unaware of what was going on.

We then moved on to the usual, saying our prayers and working on our expanded journal essay, while also listening to Little Wonders by Rob Thomas. Mrs. Gill went on to say that this essay should be perfected by Friday, but done by tomorrow so that editing will be our only task. After our journal Matt read his scribe notes from Monday. We then talked about the Scarlet Letter test, and if it was easy or not. Mrs. Gill spoke about how important it is to use your text as a resource and also to pay attention to a time limit.

Soon class took a turn into writing about our American author we chose from the summer. We wrote a couple of paragraphs about who the author is and why we picked them, then how we feel about Wikipedia. We only had five minutes so it didn’t have to be anything spectacular. We are open to switching authors, but if we choose someone else it needs to be an American author with some sort of influence. Finally Mrs. Gill gave a brief description of each author on her list, informing us of little important details.

HOMEWORK: finish journal essay
