Quarter one

This first semester was far from easy. I knew it was going to be tough as soon as we got our first vocabulary sheet with tons of words that I had never heard before. Our first quiz was torture. I was determined to work a lot harder after that. One of the first things I remember doing was our metaphor poem. I kind of enjoyed doing that because mine was about basketball. The writing about a feeling was fun to do. The planning for it wasn’t that great but when we wrote it all out I had fun with it, mostly because mine was about anger. Lit groups were fun too. My first book was Pretties which was very interesting and my group that consisted of Thad and Dustin had some interesting conversations. My second lit group with Kambri, Jonathan and Dillon was for the book Shooter. It wasn’t as good of a book but we had some good talks also. I didn’t enjoy doing all the work for that one, but I did learn how to do drawings for stories, connections and layered questions. So for the most part this was a pretty productive quarter.
