                    Today started off like any other Tuesday, we entered the classroom, sat down, wrote down the agenda, and did blog corrections. After we corrected Rami's blog, they chose me to write the next one. Next, Ms. Nakada said we all had to redo the week 6 quiz because the grading got messed up or something. Everyone got out Chromebooks and  started working on the quiz. After the quiz, we all got out our English Notebooks to set up reading journals for week 7. After that, Ms. Nakada told us that this week is our last short week for a while, and we have no days off in October (sad). Then, we started talking about plot lines, and how Ms. Graham ruined them for us. Ms. Nakada talked about clues for figuring out the setting of a book, and showed us some clues about the setting of The Outsiders, then we talked about the beginning and rising action of The Outsiders, and how it was a mistake for Ponyboy to walk home alone. We then started on week 7 Q.Q.S.L, and wrote down the quote; "Sometimes a breakdown can be the beginning of a kind of breakthrough, a way of living in advance through a trauma that prepares you for radical transformation." -Cherrie Moraga.

                After we wrote down the quote, we discussed what we thought it meant. Just then, the bell rang and we headed off to 4th period.
