She is explaining the steps of the writing process and explaining what the steps mean. Now she is telling the class to take out The Outsiders notes on page 4. Right now we are talking about what had happened in The Outsiders chapter 7. Ms. Nakada just told the class if they don't have their books' out they need to take them out right now. She is reading a part of the book right with the class. Now she is writing more on the notes and asking some questions about what she just read.  She just announced that we will read more of the chapter on monday and is telling everyone to take out their writing journals to check who did there homework or not , and those who were not here yesterday can read more or they can work on their writing process. Ms. Nakada is checking the homework. As I read this sentence I have nothing to say because there is nothing interesting that is going on at the moment... Ms. Nakada said that if we do not turn in our homework in time we will not get full credit and if we need to reread then we should. I'm going to wrap this up because this blog is long and class is almost over.

HW: T.O. p. 68-85

In the beginning of class Ms. Nakada told everyone to take their reading journal. Almost all of the class  got it done. Lucky me, she didn't have to check my homework. Afterwards Ms. Nakada started to discuss it with the class. Then Ms. Nakada told everyone to take out their notes  and than she started reading the book. The class started taking notes too. So then she asked us to take out the book, The Outsiders. Chapter 4 of The Outsiders was a good part of the book, well to me, beause Johnny killed one of the socs because one of the socs was trying to drown Ponyboy. After Ms. Nakada stops reading she asked the class what was chapter 4 about so they start taking notes about chapter. After they finished with that they went on to the table of contents. Stil, lucky me, I didn't have to work. Then Ms.Nakada went to help one of the students and it took her like 5 mintues for her to get back to the class. She made everyone take out a paper and made them write them about themselves. Still, lucky me, I didn't have to do the work.

Ms. Nakada's First Blog


Agenda
Blog
Course Outlines
The Outsiders
Reading Journal 
HW: RJ 1.1 T.O. p. 1-18

It's the second day of school and my fifth period class came in after lunch. Everyone found their assigned seats and started writing down the agenda. We named our class blog which was a quick and painless process thanks to Dedrick's idea :). A couple of students passed out The Outsiders books and I took attendance and recorded book numbers. I collected  course outlines and ALMOST everyone turned theirs in, but one was missing so the class didn't earn a point, but I explained how if the class earns 10 points for perfection we get a reward like doughnuts or pizza.

Once all of that was done we set up our reading journals like this:

Student Name's Reading Journal

Reading Log

Title              Author        Date Started        A /  C
1. The Outsiders SE Hinton 

The A/C stands for abandoned or completed. Then we started reading The Outsiders as a class and set up the actual reading journals like this:

1.1     8/14/13        The Outsiders            p. 1-18
We learned the narrator is a greaser and he lives with his two brothers because his parents died. He's walking home from the theatre when a bunch of Socs surround him. We discussed the homework for tonight: to write a summary of the rest of the chapter. That was all for the day!
