Poetry Gallery Walk

HW: Enjoy your weekend! 

The day started out normal which was nice for a change. We had AT, first period, and math. I got to English on the later side, but still managed to be on time. I turned to take out my poetry collection, but could not find it. Eventually I found it and reminded Jessica that it was her turn to read the blog and choose someone. She started reading, but realized that it was not her blog she was reading. After we got back on track, she finished reading and told Emily to choose someone. Which of course was me. 

I took all my stuff and sat down at the lonely desk. Emily realized that now she has nobody to sit next to so HA. Ms. Nakada started reading her oratory from 2020. It was about how the classes endured constant change with zoom and online school. Ms. Nakada got interrupted by the loud speaker aggressively calling Zurie to the main office. Ms. Nakada started up again and finished her oratory. Everyone enjoyed it, and Ms. Nakada asked if Eli was okay. 

After the speech was finished, we transitioned into taking our quiz. Omar and Riley came up to borrow a Chromebook and I tried to juggle having two Chromebooks out at the same time. Ms. Nakada warned us that there are no more makeups on quizzes and to try our best. After most people finished the quiz Ms. Nakada said we can work on our poetry things and she will print out the ones sent last minute... Charles. 

It was silent wall everyone was working on the poetry, until the boys got called out for talking. Ms. Nakada asked Akira to go down to the printing room and get all the poems that were just printed. My broadside was coming undone so I glued it on the paper some more. Ms. Nakada complemented Declan's style that he used on Canva for it's easy printing. It took me three hours to figure out how to get my order right on Canva. It was horrible. Violette came up to my desk, but all she needed was a tissue and then she left. Ethan needed to throw away trash and said hi to me and Ms. Nakada asked Emily to collect all of the field trip slips for our field day to UCLA. I am excited for that and I convinced Alejandro to go into the pool. He hates the ocean and apparently the pool. [He doesn't.]

Tali came up to me and tried to correct my spelling mistakes, I have no idea how to spell oratory. Nothing really is going on cause everyone's working. I started walking around cause I was bored. Violette and Alejandro came up to the lonely desk and are looking over my shoulder and making fun of me. Violette took my poetry collection and hopefully is not ruining it. Emily is making weird faces at me. The class is talking and working. Tali says hi. And I know I am just rambling in this paragraph. Declan literally looks asleep when he comes up to the desk to staple is poetry collection.  Riley came up to the desk and we started talking. She says that she worked on her broadside for a while and then forgot it at home. Alejandro is hitting with the eraser repeatedly.  

Emily and Violette are working on peoples poetry collection cutting and stapling them together. Isaac forgot his poetry things and is gonna turn it in late. Ms. Nakada told us about the poetry slam and started showing us examples. You should all learn from Isaac's mistakes and not assume things. We watched someone perform the poem "The Orange" and their interpretation "Enough." It was really good. 

The bell rang, and Ms. Nakada collected are poetry booklets and broadsides. We packed up and left for fourth period!
