Week 8: Q.Q.S.L

Step-Up/Quick Write

Homework-RJ 8.2 The Outsiders Ch. 6 p. 85-99

    Today started off as any normal day would, with everyone entering class and pulling out their binder reminders to write down the agenda. Adrian went up to the class to read his blog, and randomly made the decision to pick me as the next blogger. We corrected his mistakes as I trudged up to the front of the classroom with my backpack dragging behind me. 

    Ms. Nakada gave us time to do the day's CreaTober, which was "path." Some people shared their drawings of a path.  Charles came up to the class and presented his wonderful drawing of this person with short, fluffy, pumpkin *ice* spice hair. We moved on to the next thing, which was talking about Chapter 5 of The Outsiders. In the beginning of the chapter, Ponyboy wakes up to find... not Johnny. He comes back with supplies like food, candy bars, a book, and other things that they can use to cut and bleach Ponyboy's hair. We go on and on about Chapter 5, how sad it was when they get a haircut (I think they were overreacting, but their hair did define them as greasers, so I can kind of see where they're coming from). We took turns reading parts of Chapter 5, and we talked a little bit more about the book before moving on to Week 8: Q.Q.S.L. The song of the week was "Freedom" by Rage Against the Machine. The song was about a gun fight between the FBI and A.I.M. We went over the lyrics, and we talked about what each line meant---and the bell rang. Everyone packed up and headed to fourth period.
