Malcolm’s English Blog

 Today in class, Mr. Rease wasn’t here. In class we had to write definitions and do exercises. Overall, class was easy today.

 Today in class we read passages. The passages were about driverless cars how they can be positive and negative. Honestly, I am with driverless cars because I personally wouldn’t want drive the whole time. They can be very useful while traveling to far places like out of town when you get tired. Overall, class was fun and chill.

 Today in class we wrote a poem.

 Today in class, we read a poem about constant absurdity. It was about how everyone does absurd things everyday. The main topic was about acrobats. The things acrobats do absurd are walking on ropes across large places. Also, it was about poets and how they risk making a bad poem or one people wouldn't read. A theme we cam up with was, " Success may or may not come from producing risky art". Overall, class was informational today.

 Today in class, we took a test. The test was on fences and it was easy. The only part that I really had to think about was the essay. In the essay I had to tell about a character that deceives and about his intentions. The character I chose was Troy. Troy was the easiest character because he basically deceived everyone in the story. Overall, class was easy and chill today.

 Today in class, we started on a project. The project was basically just different task that we had to choose from to do on a character from the story. The character I chose was Rose and the task I chose was a Facebook page. Basically all u had to do was make a Facebook page as rose and just talk about important events. This was very easy and didn’t take long at all. Overall, class was easy today.

 Today in class, we were supposed to start on a new story but Ms.Cook wasn’t here. So instead, we did vocabulary. I always like doing vocabulary because it is so quick and easy. Overall class was easy.

 Today in class, we finished watching the movie version of fences. The movie is exactly like the book which I love. During the movie we had to complete a characterization chart when wasn’t the easiest. Overall class was chill today

 Today in class, we started to watch the movie version of fences. The movie was very similar to the book by everyday. During the movie we had to do discussion questions which weren’t that hard. I really enjoy the movie because I get to see the emotions I seen in the book played our. Overall, class was chill and easy today.

 Today in class we finished the book. After Cory left the house a few years later he finally came back to his dad being dead and a new sister. I really didn’t expect him to die and everything just happened so fast. I played the character of Cory again and I felt like I could really get the feel of his emotions while reading it. I felt like the ending could’ve been better but the play was amazing. Overall, I had fun reading this week and hope we get another like this soon.

 Today in class we continued the reading. Now in the story it really hit the climax. After Troy reveals that he has been cheating with Alberta and she was pregnant, later on we found out that Alberta died having the baby. This really shocked me because it was just like a hit in the face and didn’t expect it. Also, I liked the story today because I was the part of Cory and I think I really played him well.

 Today in class we read more about the book. At this point the story really started to build up and a lot of things happened. The main scene that really had me shocked is how Troy finally told rose that he has been cheating and that there is a baby involved. Reading this book really makes you think more about the characters and their personality. 

Today in class we finished the paper we started yesterday and continued with the story. It’s really starting to build up and make us get a feel of the characters more. I like this story because I feel like a lot of people can relate to it. Overall, class was chill and waiting to read the next part.

Today in class we started off with a play named Fences. The book started off really funny and the characters to. Also, my classmates playing as the characters really brought it to life. I can’t wait to finish it because it started off really good.

Today we had a virtual day. It is very easy because I only had 1 delta math and to do this blog. I honestly love virtual days because I can sleep way more. Also, I used this time to catch up on some work even though it wasn't a lot. Overall, today was easy and I got enough sleep for once. Have a good weekend!

 Today in class, we did our benchmark the whole class period. We discussed what we would be doing the next day for virtual day. Not gonna lie I did fall asleep during the test but I did manage to finish. The multiple choice was fairly easy but the constructed responses were not too much. Since all we did was test it was quiet so I was just on my phone the rest of the class period. Overall, class was chill and easy.

 Today in class, Ms.Cook did the lesson. We did the same thing we have been doing all week witch is annotating, and that is always fun. This poem was basically about how nothing lasts forever. I feel like everyone can relate to this poem and really understand it. Even though the poem was short it was really good and makes you really think about life itself. We were interrupted by a fire drill witch took up a lot of time but I managed to still finish my sheet. Overall, class was easy and chill.

 Today in class, we did the same as yesterday. We are annotating poems by Robert Frost. First thing we did before annotating was a small quiz of the poem the day before. The quiz was easy and I feel like if that was an actual quiz I would've got a 100. After we started annotating, and this poem was also one you had to really think about, because everyone at some point wants to go back to their childhood. Overall, class was chill and easy.

 Today in class we analyzed a poem. The poem was from Robert Frost, and before we analyzed we watched a documentary about him. I got to learn a lot about him. Also, the poem really had me connected and thinking deep to analyze it. Overall, class was easy today.

Today I was not at school. I was supposed to present today but I totally forgot I had to go to the dentist so I didn’t have a chance to. Here is my work just so I can get a little credit.

 Today in class, we started off with presentations on the group work. Really it was all the same but it was good to hear what other groups came up with. My group did not go today so we will go tomorrow. I really learned a lot from other groups from things I did not think of and it was also funny. Then we ended off with a quiz and that was fairly easy. Overall, class today was chill and easy.

 Today in class, Ms.Cook was our teacher again. We worked in our groups again to work on the story "Ambush". We was also given roles in our groups to do more with the story. My role was Vocabulary Enricher/Word Wizard. My job was to find words we didn't know and define them. This role was very easy and didn't take me long at all. Overall, class was chill and easy and Ms.Cook did amazing again.
