Create-ober/Day 16 

      To begin the final period of the day, we started by getting into our assigned seats and settling in. We had written our daily plans in our agendas, and started our new creative pieces for the new Create-ober. After we had completed writing in our agendas, Ms. Nakada called up Kat to say her blog. Kat then explained what we did on Monday, which then led her to pick me to write the Blog of the Day. During this, some people decided to show off their Create-obers. Then, we transitioned into our Grammar, Quote, Question, Song notes. "Hawai'i" '78" Israel "12" Kamakawiwo'ole was our Song of the Week. As a class, we discussed on what that song really explains to us. In this song, the people in Hawaii get very upset about their land getting modernized by others. Afterwards, Ms. Nakada gave us directions on how to do our S.L.C. (Student Led Conference) Letters. She specifically told us that we could use our recent projects/assignments to explain on what we learned, and how we incorporate those ideas to reality. While we began doing this assignment, two students of Ms. Nakada's choice pass out files that contain our recent assignments we completed in class such as our Reading Projects, I-ready scores or even songs that really spoke to us from our G.Q.Q.S. notes from passed weeks.

We started our day like we usually do by writing down the agenda in our binder reminders. Once we were done writing, we listened to Alriel's blog, and there were no corrections. We earned our tenth point and decided to have pizza on Tuesday. I was chosen to write the blog next. Afterwards, we all began on our Create-ober pieces. I did face-tober, and my prompts were pixie cut, rosy cheeks, and stripes. After a few minutes, we turned to our notes about The Outsiders. We talked about chapter nine and ten, and assessed everything that happened. We also discussed what it meant to be an unreliable narrator. Once we were done with The Outsiders, we transitioned into our prompts for banned books and School Trip. We glued some prompts into our books that Ms. Nakada passed out and chose one from each slip of paper to write about. As the day ended, we all packed our things, waited for the bell to ring, and Ms. Nakada dismissed us all.

We started off the class by writing in our binder reminders then getting started on our Create-tober. A few people shared, and then we listened to our song for the week: "Blue Jeans & White T-shirts" by Gaslight Anthem. We shared our thoughts about the song and later found out the song seemed to be based around the 1960's, kind of like in The Outsiders. Then, we discussed chapter 9 of The Outsiders, and in that in the beginning of the chapter, Pony asks everybody why they fought and turns out most of the reasons weren't very good. After, since it was a short day, we packed our things and headed out for the day.
