 I was absent.

 Today my teacher wasn’t here so we had a substitute. We did book work for the class period. After we finished with the book work, we didn’t do anything. The class was ok. I was bored after finishing the book work.

 Today in class, we read two passages. One passage was about the positives of driverless cars and the other one was about the negatives of driverless cars. I am against cars that drive themselves, because it's dangerous and it could stop working at any time. If it stops working on the highway then it would be terrible for everyone, because it would cause many crashes and accidents. Class today was fun.

 Today in class we created our own poems.

 Today in class, we read a poem called “Constantly Risking Absurdity” by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. The poem taught us that poets and acrobats are similar. We got two themes from the poem. One was producing art can be risky and success may or may not come. Today’s class was ok.

 Today in class we did an assessment on the play Fences. The assessment was easy up unto the essay part. The essay part was difficult. After we finished the assessment, we didn’t do anything else. Today’s class was boring.

 Today we started on a mini project for the play “Fences”. For my project, I am doing a soundtrack. This task was difficult because it made me realize that I don’t know any songs that can relate to this. Some parts of this was simple because songs just came to my head easily. Today’s class was productive.

 Today we did vocabulary for lesson 7. We had to write the definitions of words. After we wrote the definitions we wrote sentences for the words. When we finished we chilled for the rest of class. Class today was ok.

 Today we finished the movie in class. During the ending of the movie we had to complete a characterization chart. The movie was interesting and I loved the acting. Class today was chill. The movie was just like the play.

 Today in class, we started the movie Fences. The movie is just like the play. It was so interesting and dramatic. I love this play and the movie is not disappointing. The characters show emotions that make us feel something.

 Today in class, we finished reading the play “Fences”. This play was good. I really enjoyed it and I hope to watch the movie one day. After we finished reading, we completed discussion questions. Today’s class was fun.

 Todays class was funny. We continued to read the play “Fences”. In this part, Troy tells Rose that he’d been cheating on her. Then he continues to tell her that he’s expecting. Alberta had the baby and died, so now Troy has to take care of the baby. I was surprised Rose didn’t leave him. 

 Today’s class was fun. We read scene 4 of the play. This scene was ok and after we read the scene we filled out a claims and evidence paper. This play is really interesting to me. I would recommend anyone to read this play and watch it because it’s good.

 Today’s class was fun. We finished filling out the paper that we started on yesterday. Then, we read the scene to end scene three of the play. In scene two of the play the son asked his father why he didn’t like him. in these scenes, the people are singing.

 Today’s class was interesting. We read scene one of the play fences and my classmates were different characters in the play and my teacher played Tony. The scene starts off with Tony and Bono talking. In the conversation, Bono insinuates that Tony is cheating on his wife Rose. I look forward to reading the next part tomorrow in class.

 Today we didn’t go to school because it’s independent learner day. We have online work assigned to us and we have to complete it. some teachers host zoom calls or use microsoft teams to take attendance. Other teachers use google docs to take attendance. We have a state championship game today and i’m going.

 Today we took a benchmark test in class and it was really boring. I couldn’t wait to finish. The benchmark was 20 questions and 4 of the 20 were constructed response. The multiple choice questions were simple and easy but the constructed response kind of was difficult. Today’s class was boring.

 Today we read and analyzed another poem by Robert Frost. This poem was called “Nothing Gold Can Stay” and it was an interesting poem. This poem taught us that when things die, new things form. I didn’t really have a connection with this poem. I thought it was an interesting and boring poem at the same time. It was really short. Today’s class was kind of cut a little bit because we had a fire drill.

 Today in class was interesting. We read and analyzed a poem called “Birches.” This poem was interesting to me because the person in the poem was stressed and tired of adult life and wished to be a kid again. When you’re a kid you’re stress free and everything is easier. Now that your childhood is over, you’re constantly thinking about the next thing and what you’re going to do after one stage of your life. I enjoyed class today.

 Today in class we read a poem called “Out Out.” The poem was interesting and kind of sad. In the poem a little boy was working on his parents farm. He was using a saw and lost concentration. His arm got cut off and then he died. After we read and analyzed the poem, our other teacher gave us donuts. Today was ok.

 Today’s class was pretty chill. We finished presenting and did some work. We were finishing our quizzes and started to write down and do lesson 7 vocabulary and exercises. The class was interrupted, because we had a parade to send off the basketball and cheerleaders team for their game. I kinda didn’t enjoy class today.

 Today we presented our group work. I hated this class today. People that were supposed to present today didn’t and even though my group was supposed to present tomorrow we had to present today. That wasn’t fair to my group. My whole group wasn’t here and we still had to present. I hate this class. I’m happy I only have to take it this year.

 Today ms cook taught class again. We worked on a group assignment. Everyone in our group had different tasks to do. My task was to write questions based off of the story we read on yesterday. Forming questions to ask was simple and easy to me. The class was chill and kind of boring.
