HW: The Outsiders Ch. 1

The bell for sixth period rang and there were only about 20 students in class. Slowly, more students straggled in until every desk was filled. It was a full house but everyone found their seats and as students wrote the agenda, I signed program cards. I passed out the course outlines and took roll.

It was really hot, but no one really complained which impressed me quite a bit. Definitely a good sign about this class... We went over the course outline so everyone knew what to expect in Ms. Nakada's class (lots of reading and writing). I also went over homework (read 20 pages a night, people) and book projects. We talked briefly about NaNoWriMo and I promise, it will be a challenge and a LOT of fun.

We then went over supplies (paper, pens, notebook for class notes, notebook for reading journals). Donate stuff! It will help keep our class nice!

I passed out copies of The Outsiders and reminded students to read the first chapter tonight or during ET. 

We then started our blog and it must have been too hot for anyone to even think... We tossed around names like Shut Up and Write, The Fried Rice Blog and finally settled on Giggity Giggity Gog Blog. So there it is, our first blog of the school year...
