NaPoWriMo Day 22

Week 15: QQSL

reader's/writer's workshop

HW: RJ 15.1 Read or write a poem + iReady 40-45 throughout the week

We walked into English class, all kind of down because it was a Monday, and Milan had a rat nose on. But we have a day off Wednesday so that's good. I want to go to the beach that day. We took our minute meditation, and Omar went to read his blog. I had a slight feeling he would pick me, and my slight hopes were accurate. 

I sadly walked up to the computer to start writing. Ms. Nakada then walked around and gave out papers for culmination. It had stuff like dress code for the students, parking, and tickets for guests you want to invite. Our other paper we got was all the events happening in May through June before school is out. Then, we found out we are getting a French school breakfast. Thanks Charles! And the staff.

After that, we read one poem from our poetry packets, and Charles got really scared when Ms. Nakada mentioned shedding. I think Violette may be the reason for that. The poem we read was "wishes for sons" by Lucille Clifton. It was interesting because the poem was in all lowercase letters. Ms. Nakada said maybe because society wants girls to stay small and quiet, like lowercase letters. The poem was about how girls get their period, and how it's unfair boys don't get periods. And then somebody made a comment and the class erupted. I heard Marcus laugh in there somewhere.

We then moved on to writing poems. The themes were: your body is a planet, little joys, and Earth, because it is Earth Day. We went over how many poems everyone had written, and a few people got over 30 poems. I'm almost there. A few people read out their poems. They were very deep. 

Next up was QQSL. We did the Quote and the Question today. The quote was, "Do not ignore the pain. Give it purpose. Use it." by Amanda Gorman. We talked about our generation, and how it should be named Generation Skibidi Toilet. I'm down with that! The bell rang before we had time to talk about the quote, and we headed to fourth period!

thou shall not lie. thou shall not cheeeaaat! - Milan
