Dear Diary,
A lot happened today during Mrs. Gill’s ACC English 3 Period 4 English class. In the first two minutes of class, Mrs. Gill asked why there were several people out of their seats at the beginning of class. That also led for her to ask the class why people watch the clock closely at towards the end of class rather than at the beginning of class. After that brief period of discussion, we started class off with the usual prayers, the Hail Mary and the Glory Be. For the month of November, we said another prayer, praying for the souls of the departed. We didn’t journal today because Mrs. Gill was still grading them and insisted that she wanted to read every journal entry. Scribe notes about Friday’s class weren’t read because Carlye, the scribe for Friday, had some difficulties posting her Scribe notes straight to the blog. Instead, Mrs. Gill passed back some quizzes we took a while ago while a song from “Sesame Street” played. She also mentioned how our saint quotes helped us a lot with our grades. Mrs. Gill kept our group vocabulary quizzes and also mentioned that our group members were receiving the same grade. That statement worried a lot of people, especially Libby who was absent the day of the quiz. Also, Mrs. Gill handed out candy to those people who scored a high grade on any of the quizzes that she passed back.
Mrs. Gill mentioned briefly about who Torch would nominate for the “Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy Pageant”. While preparing to send us a Word document for the new set of vocabulary words through DyKnow, Mrs. Gill was thinking about Skyping in Hannah, who was absent today. As I was saying earlier, we received a new and shorter list of vocabulary words for The Scarlet Letter. Kayla asked why she only had one point added to her grade for her saint quote and Mrs. Gill simply responded that she didn’t get it correct. Then, Mrs. Gill went on to tell a story about one of her former students who would always complain about her grade. For the vocabulary words, we finished the first nine or so words and we will finish the rest tomorrow. Our homework is to continue to read The Scarlet Letter and to have the book finished by Monday. That’s all I have for today. Now I have to make sure I don’t miss my cue for the play!
