This week I have been working on my abstract but I'm still a little lost on the stuff that I have to do. My partner and I presented our poster about quotation marks and it went really good. We both felt really accomplished with the work that we did.

This week we have been working on our Inquiry project. We got the chance to pick our own partner and the thing to make a poster about.My partner and I decided to do our poster based on commas and quotations. We decided to make our catchphrase look like a math problem. I have also been reading the book, For one more day. It is a very exciting and interesting book.

This week i've been reading alot because our second essay is on friday. The book has been getting really interested. While reading this book, I learned that people are a big influence in life and they influence your actions. While reading A piece of cake, I felt like I understood what she was doing in order to live and why she did all that drinking/drugs.

This week we mostly worked on our essay. On Tuesday, I stayed afterschool and got a lot of help on my essay. I got a lot of my misunderstandings cleared and that made me help my essay become better. Before I went to get to help I felt really bad about my essay because I didn't feel it was good enough but by the time I turned it in this Friday, I felt accomplished. Through out the break I mostly read and found the book really hard to let go. I enjoy the way Cupcake Brown writes it really makes you picture the book in your head.

This week we mostly had alot of work time do be able to use it on our tragedy papers. I had alot of miss understandings on the readings so it was a bit difficult for me to write the essay. What I mostly wrote about in my essay was Oedipus but after a discussion with Stephanie I realized that I believed more in the reading, The Common Man. Which reminded me alot of a bully or a person who wants change. A person who is tired of being bossed around or bullied around and wants to do something about the problem that is causing them so many problems.

This week, we learned and read about tragedies. We had to write responses, retell, and relate about the different things that we read. This week, I got my book and yet haven't started reading it. All threwout last week we read.
