We started our class period by coming into the classroom and sitting down. After we did that, we proceeded to write down the agenda. We listened to the previous blog, and then spun a wheel to decide who would write the next one. Afterwards, we worked on our novels. Once the timer ran out, we took out our English notebook and wrote down the grammar, quote, question after putting the week 15 grammar, quote, question, lines in our table of contents. For grammar, it was a small review of the I.A.B. For our quote it was "It's okay how some stories leave off without an ending. Life doesn't always deliver the one you expect" by Adam Silvera. We were then asked to write what we thought it meant. Our question was when has an end been a beginning. After this, we continued to work on our novels until the bell rang in which we exited the class.

We started the class by doing the NaNo session one until Ms. Nakada was finished grading everyone's binder reminders. After, Ms. Nakada announced that her timer was over and the class got started on the Week Fourteen Quiz. After everyone finished their quiz, the class got back to their novel to either catch up, or continue it. Finally, Ms. Nakada told everyone to pack up, have a great weekend, and then she dismissed us.

Homework: Novels, 47%-70%

We started off the period by writing down the agenda, and watching our daily meditation video.  It was Isaac's turn to read the blog, so he read his blog and decided to do the wheel of names to choose the next person to write the blog. Putting ten of me, and one Richard, I obviously got chosen. We then started our ten minute session I of writing our novels. After, we started our G-Q-Q-L-S. Our question was, "What are you/your character most grateful for?" Some of us shared our response, and then we listened to our song of the week which was "Living on a Prayer." by Bon Jovi. One of the lyrics was "Whoa, we're halfway there." which related to our novels because by Friday, we should be halfway finished. After listening to the song, we switched over to lines. It was, "Pep Talk." by Mark Oshiro. He gave tips on how to write books, which we could use to write our novels. Some tips were to reward yourself with a tiny snack every one hundred words. After the lines, we did our second session of novel writing. Some of us challenged ourslf by setting a word sprint. Soon, the ten minutes came to an end. We packed up, put our chairs up, and Ms. Nakada dismissed us.

Afterwards, we opened our writing journals and started our week 14 G.Q.Q.S.L. We started with Grammar and the word was allusion. Also, we got into the quote and the quote was by Leonard Bernstein "To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan and not enough time." Then, we got to writing our novels for the last five minutes of class. Then, the bell rang, and class was over.

We started off the period by taking our seats, and getting settled in. We then watched our daily meditation video. Once we were all settled in, we got started by writing down the agenda. Then, we began reading/correcting James's blog. When we were finished with our daily activities, we got into our main work, such as our novel, and essays. It was Thursday, so it was our "Chill Day" for the week, so nothing much happened other than what we usually do. We finished the day off as we usually do, we put up our chairs, stood behind our desks, and waited for dismissal, and after all that, we are finally released.

We started off the day by taking a minute and then reading the blog. The blog was by Janelle, and she talked about what happened yesterday. After that, she chose me and I went up to do the blog. Then, we went straight to the song for week 13, the song's name was, "Matilda". We said the song is about a girl, Matilda, but now they're grown-up. We also talked about the evil and good about the song. My favorite line was, "You can let it go." After the song, we went to writers workshop to work on our essays and half way through we went to work on NaNoWriMo. When we got near the end of the class, we got ready and packed to leave. Once the bell rang, we got up and waited to be dismissed.

We walk in and do our daily agendas. After we're done with the agendas, we watch our take a minute video and Kaela reads her blog right after. Once Kaela finishes reading her blog she gets to pick someone. She was unsure of who to pick so Ms.Nakada spun the wheel. My name had popped up so it was my turn to do the blog. Once we got settled back in we did our question for the Week 13 G.Q.Q.S. The question was "Have you backed up your novel?" with Ms. Nakada giving us two sites should be saving them on ( YWP & a Google doc). Since we only did the question it was quick, we jumped right into Writers workshop. We had the choice between finishing our Essay which is due Thursday, or focusing on our NaNoWriMo. Everything aside Ms. Nakada informs us that we have the highest percentage out of all her classes and it's making the Accelerated Honors class want to compete with us. Finally it's the end of the day. First we pack up. Then, we put our chairs up waiting to be dismissed/for the bell to ring.
