In Ms. Nakada's class she took attendance. Then, we corrected a students blog. After that, we did Jamboard. Then, we listened to a song called "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story?" from Hamilton. Once we were done listening to the song, Ms. Nakada told us what was the song about. After that, we were reading Inside Out and Back Again . Then, we were put into break out rooms and read one poem. Once we were done with all of that, Ms. Nakada gave us information about our homework that was due Friday, January 29th. After that, class ended.

In the beginning of class, we watched a video on a poet named Amanda Gorman. Then, Ms. Nakada took attendance while the class started taking notes. We then continued to watch the video on the poet Amanda Gorman. After that, we started reading a poem called "Two More Papayas." Moving forward, we were broken into break out rooms to read a poem. Lastly, we took the Week 2 Quiz and then we were dismissed after we finished.

In the beginning of class, we did blog corrections. Today, we did a Jamboard, and one of the questions was, How are you engaging in your learning?  In the Jamboard  Quote: "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  We did a question of the week: Why is it important for people to take a stand? And then we did a song called "Eyes on the Prize" by Sweet Honey in the Rock. We read Inside Out and Back Again  and after we read that, she let us go.

We wrote the blog in class because I didn't write it. Then, we reviewed the engagement scale for active and passive engagement and disengagement. After that, we went on Jamboard and we saw pictures from the war in Vietnam. We read the first poem of I nside Out and Back Again ; as a class, and then we're put into breakout rooms and read the second poem in small groups. We wrote a three word summary based on the poem we read in the breakout rooms. Then, we took a quiz and when we were done, we were free to go.

We wrote down the agenda. We did the learning engagement. We learned about being active in class. We did the quote of the week by Mary Oliver.  We did the question of the week. We did the song of the week called "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel.  We didn't do the spring course outline, so we went back and did it.  We were talking about sports too much, so Ms. Nakada closed the chat. We got to Inside Out and Back Again . 

  Today, Ms. Nakada showed the class a poem called "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening," by Robert Frost. Then, she had told the class to read a line from the poem, and good thing there weren't any crickets. Then, after that she showed us the rhyme scheme. Then, she asked if we liked the poem. Some said they liked it, and some said it was ok.

Today we went over the quote of the week:  "I had for my winter evening walk No one at all with who to talk But I had the cottages in a row Up to their shining eyes in snow." Question: What is the difference between being alone and being lonely."  After that we went over the song of the week: "Message in a Bottle" by The Police.  Then, it took a while for someone to volunteer to do the blog.After we discussed who was gonna do it we took an A.R quiz
