 Today was a good day as a class. Ms.Cook took over the class today and had us read a passage about a solider who killed someone and felt many regrets about it. As a class we read and annotated our opinions about certain aspects of the passage. After reading she had us as groups decide whether we were pro killing or against it and mainly people chose against or in-between. She had us explain why we felt the way we felt, then we had a sort of debate like thing as a class where we explained our points and we gave textual evidence. Overall, i enjoyed todays class because it felt very hands on and the story was a great pick for a story.

 Today we had a sub so we didn’t really do much. We had an assignment where we had to read a passage about the side effects of video games and how they affect many American youths learning growth. Since the passage was long and there were 7 multiple choice and 5 constructed response we had the whole class period to complete. Due to the black history program the school had going on, i had to leave class early so i didn’t have a chance to turn in my work. Overall, today was a slight easy day because we didn’t have to do much even though my feet were killing me after helping out with the program.

 Today we didn’t do anything because we had a free day. But the free day gave us time to reflect and get other work done. Due to planning our class has fell behind in the class so we will have a lot to do on Wednesday. The class period consisted of many side conversations between all the different groups of students. We also went over the requirements for our blogs and we went over our grading system in the class. Other than  that nothing really happened today and it was a very chill light day. 

 I feel like we should get a free because it will give people a chance to either catch up in other classwork or work for this class. Also having a free day can help people who are stressed out due to school giving them a breather before their next class. We should get a free day since we already planned to have a day with no work, because doing work that we planned to do on Monday will cause a change in the daily lesson plans. Free days or in this  instance a free class period could be like the equivalent to a mental health day for many students who are stressing and struggling. Overall, there are many reasons why one would have a free day but my main reason would be to have a class period to relax and take a breather.

 Today we didn’t do anything because we had an assembly on drunk driving. Since the assembly took all of second period we never got a chance to even start the lesson. Due to those circumstances class was very easy today. Overall, the assembly was okay, you could barely hear anything or see anything and it was hot though.

 Today in class we presented our black history projects. We only did a few though, after the few presented we started taking notes on a video about black excellence. We had to complete a video lesson note paper before the end of class as well. Since we didn’t finish the video due to a small amount of time we never completed our exit ticket. Before we watched the video we briefed on known facts about the black community and how we differ from other communities. Overall, the class was easy and light today.

 We didn’t have school yesterday due to presidents’ day. Today was an easy day all we did was vocabulary. We had to do 15 sentences then do activities one and three. After we finished that we had the ability to chill in class or work on other classwork. Over the long weekend we had the chance to do our black history project that was due Friday at 11:59. Overall, today class was very easy.
