week 1: Q Q S L

reader's workshop IO & BA

HW: RJ 1.2 IO & BA part II

The day started off like any other would. The only difference was today wasn't like any other. It is Tali's birthday! Happy birthday! Well, I guess happy day after your birthday by the time this is read. Anyway, we came in and sat down and Sammy read the blog I could feel the dread creep up inside me. I knew there couldn't be many people left to go. Sure enough there wasn't so I was picked.

As I walked to the front Ms. Nakada started to correct the blog with the class. After the blog was corrected we did the song of the week, "Shallow," by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. We talked about the different things shallow could mean. We talked about how water can be shallow and people can too. We decided that this song meant it in the metaphorical sense of shallow water. The song talks about going deep instead of staying shallow. It talks about taking risks.

Next, we look at part two of Inside Out and Back Again called "At Sea." This part is mainly about their travels on the boat and where they land directly after. They go to a refugee camp which Ha, the main character, called "tent cities." The class was quiet as everyone worked on their drawings representing part two.

We worked on our drawings or read for the rest of class. Then, the bell rang and it was off to fourth period.
