 Today is Wednesday and I forgot to finish my project. When everyone got to class he said that the whole class did not finish the project and we were not presenting today. After he said that we had to answer some questions about the book too. So I had to finish my project and do about 30 questions. But I got done with everything and we had to take a test about the book on Friday.

 So today we had to finish reading the book and have the project done by Wednesday. Most of my group was almost done and one of them was finished so we were in the bag. But some of us weren't still done so I almost finished and they did too but the bell rang and we had to go to our next block. We had to make this project on a website called Mural. It is actually a good website though.

 Today we had to do a group project about a book called The Rockpile by James Baldwin. First, he gave us a paper of what each person had to do and he read it out loud to us. After he read the paper on what to do, we read the book aloud, and it was the end of class.

 Today we had to get our worksheet back and complete it before the end of class, and we only had 30 minutes in each class.

Today we learned something new called finding and explaining evidence. We wrote some notes down then began to do a worksheet we couldn't finish and turned it in.

 I had done a lot over the weekend. So I returned to my hometown Milledgeville to chill with my friends and family. I didn't really do anything except go see people I hadn't seen in a while. But I had a good time.

 For the first half of today's class, we had a fire drill. When we got back in the classroom, we discussed the pros and cons of standing up for the pledge. Then, we read a passage about the pros and cons and answered questions.

 Today, we had a worksheet of claims. We had to read an essay about colleges. The worksheet we had to do had three topics and we had to put a claim from the passages down and then put the claim that we were using and put our claim.

 Today, we had to learn vocabulary. We had to write down definitions and complete a worksheet on the vocabulary. After we got down we had a little free time.

 Today we talked about claims of values. We had to do 7 claims of value and give 5 reasons why for the claim. 

 So today we had to make some notes on claims and there are 3 types of claims that you can use, Claims of fact, Claims of value, and claims of policy. They all have a different meaning to it. After we finished our notes and some examples, we had to do a little practice sheet on the three types of claims. After that, the bell rang.
