 Today was another simple day we just finished taking the benchmark. Tomorrow probably going to be chill as well because we take eoc for Mr. Rease class monday and tuesday. I don’t think the eoc is going to be to hard it really kind of be the same every year. So what that being said I’m just ready to take it and get it over with. After that I’ll be done with this class and in no time I’ll be done with school. 

 Today in Mr. Rease class we a benchmark again. I’m tired of doing them glad this is the last one. While we was doing the benchmark Mr. Rease starting putting in grade and my grade went down to a 84 from a 85. That was it nothing extra. 

 Today in class we did a bell ringer on if we ever thought about killing something if so why and what lead you go that. I have never thought about killing  someone so I couldn’t really answer it. We then read a story called “Ambush” the story was about a dad who was in the military who’s daughter asked him if he ever killed someone. He told her no but told the story of how he killed someone. After we read the story we answered questions and that was it.

 Today we simple and chill. We did a practice test for the eoc because we have to take them for Mr.Rease class next week. The practice test was pretty easy not to hard. That was all we did today.

 Today we didn’t do nothing because we had to go to the gym to do our pathway for 12th grade. We literally just sat in the class talked a little and that was all. They say we supposed to be on lockdown tomorrow all day. I hope they lying because I can’t do that. 

 Today we did a bell ringer on college. The bell ringer asked what college we want to go to and how much is the tuition. Then we talked about informational texts. Of course the informational text talked about college. 

 Today we just did a benchmark. The benchmark wasn’t really hard I just don’t like all that reading. It was a chill day so it’s not much to write. This whole week really was kind of a chill week.

 So today in class we finished the poem that we was reading Monday. We also analyze as we read through the poem. Then we did a test on it as a class afterwards. The way we did the test was different and it made it a little easier.

 Today we did have a bell ringer again. We just did a little group active on the color purple. We read the color purple as a class and complete the assignment. Some interesting we found out in the book is that Mr followed Nettie when she was leaving town and tried to rape her but Nettie hurt him enough to get away and Mr said that since she did that Celie would never get to read the letters Nettie would write to her. 

Today we did have a bell ringer again. We just did this reading assignment about teens not being in a rush to get there drivers license. Then we had to draw about what we read. I definitely agree that teens aren’t in that big of a rush to get there drivers license. I think as soon as your able to get your permit you should. So that when it’s time to get your drivers license you can. You’ll be on time and not be 20 or something trying to get them because it’s already a time process to get your actual drivers license.

 Today in class we did have a bell ringer. We read pages 46-50 of the color purple. We found out more about Celie and Mr has changed a lot. Then we did a worksheet on some of the things we read about and that it.

 Today I didn’t go to school today so I really don’t have nothing to talk about. I just got caught up on my work in the class that I needed to. I have to finish my project and that’s it. I’ll be at school tomorrow so I might have more to write about.

 So today I wasn’t at school I was on a girl trip with rotc. We went to the College Football Hall of Fame. That was fun we go to see different colleges and they had other interesting stuff there. Then we went to the CNN center to eat. After that we went to the Varsity because a few people want to eat that instead. So in the middle of trying to park at the Varsity the bus driver hit a pool so we got into a mini accident. So we had to wait literally 3 and a half hour for the police to come. We couldn’t get off the bus it was hot everybody was irritated it was just a lot we didn’t even get to finish some of the other stuff for the trip. That was really it but we had fun the first part of the trip.

Today we did a warm up on what does it mean to be a male and what does it mean to be a female. We shared some of our explanations and then had a discussion about it. After that we just took notes.

 Today we did a bell ringer on what we thing happinesses is. After we discussed that as a class we start reading the color purple. Then we got a assignment on the few letters we read so far and that was all.

Today we did do nothing but finish our benchmark. Literally that’s all we did so I don’t have nothing to write about. Tomorrow Friday so yay we supposed to present our second part of the mini project.

 Today we didn’t do nothing really. This week is going to be a lot of testing so that’s why. We didn’t have a bell ringer we just went over some standard that will be on the benchmark we have to take Wednesday and Thursday. After we just worked on our second part of the mini project we got last week and that was it.

 Today in class everybody presented they mini project part 1. I feel like I did go on my mini project. I think everybody did pretty good. That was it the remaining of the class we worked on part 2 of the mini project.

 Today we started this mini project on the Color purple. We had to choice which two we were going to do. The rest of the class we just worked on the mini project by ourselves and got present the first part tomorrow.

In letter 23 and 24 we found out Mr name. We also see how Shug Avery treats Mr. she talks to him any kind of way and boss him around. Shug Avery also ask Celie questions about her and her kids.
