-Week 5: Q-Q-S-L
HW: RJ 5.1 Read for 20-30 minutes and log
Today started off as any normal Monday as the class took their seats and wrote down the agenda in their binder-reminders. Ms. Nakada started taking orders for pizza and donuts, and explained how everyone would get what they ordered tomorrow. Then, we read Jessica's blog from Friday, and she chose me to write the next blog. After that, we went over our reading journals and started logging what we had read over the weekend, as well as getting ready for the week and writing the log entries for tonight. Ms. Nakada then gave us time to read in our silent reading books to get started on our homework. After that, we pulled out our reading journals and looked at our Independent Reading Plan, and Ms. Nakada showed us hers.
We turned to our Table of Contents and on the sixth line we wrote down "Week five: Q•Q•S•L." The quote for this week was "Once you learn to read, you will forever be free" by Frederick Douglass. We talked about how it was illegal to learn how to read in you were enslaved back then, and for Frederick Douglass, being able to read was like being free, and how the ability of being able to read is a privilege, while not many people acknowledge that. We discussed how technology has made it less necessary to read, and how people would rather watch the Harry Potter movies than read the Harry Potter books. The question of the week was "What is your history as a reader?" Ms. Nakada had us write a little bit about when we first learned to read, or how it was or wasn't difficult for some to learn how to read. She gave us time to answer the question in our reading journals, and then some people shared their stories and ideas. Unfortunately, we ran out of time, so we all packed up and left the classroom, heading to fourth period.
