Today there was a substitute. Mr. Rease tolde to complete my missing assignment over the weekend and turn it in to him today. I was prepared to turn my work in, which I completed in 3rd period, until I saw that he wasn't here that's when I remembered what he said on Friday. Now I have to wait until tomorrow to turn my assignment in.

 Today was a very chill day. Since we're done with the milestones for American Lit we were in class talking or doing make-up work. Next week will be the very last week we have for this semester and it's been fun. After today I'll no longer have to write blog posts as well.

 Today we finished our EoC exams American Lit. I was able to complete everything for both sections of the exam. In my opinion the exam was very easy to do, considering the fact that I'm in 11th grade. I believe I did a good job on all 3 sections of the exam so I can't wait to see what I got on the EoC exams.

 Today we started the EoC for American Lit. I believe i did well on the test. I was able to complete the multiple choice questions, constructed response, and I finished writing the entire essay.

Today we did a review for the EoC. The review was mainly everything we learned last week. After the review we watched a TED talk about channelling stress. After the TED talk we went to lunch. Now we basically have a free period, since there's no more work to do.

 Today we learned how to write an informational essay for the EoC. We read from articles about student loans. Today we just wrote about the stuff that we'll need to add into thew essay. I think we're going to be writing the essay tomorrow. We also found out that on the first day we'll be able to choose between an argumentative and informational essay.

 Today we learned how to write a narrative essay for the EoC. We read a poem and had to write a narrative about it. We were the narrator's of our stories. All these stories had to revolve about what happenned after a kid went Baltimore and some random kid called the narrator a nigger. According to Mr. Rease the best way to write a narrative essay is writing it about a poem.

 Today we did some preparations for the EOC exam we have to take next week. We read 2 passages about changing or keeping the current people on certain currency. We were having a class discussion about who wanted to change the people and who wanted to keep them. We're going to keep doing these things until it's time for the EOC.

 Today we didn't have that many people in the class. So we just presented the poems we wrote yesterday. After presenting the poems we went to lunch. After lunch we got back to the classroom and Mr. Rease said we could make up any missing work or go to sleep.

 Today we read more letters from The Color Purple. Today we are supposed to create a poem from the letters we read. The name of the poem I'm creating is Never Give Up. Never Give Up Fight. I say. Most days I feel too tired to think. I stop the little trembling that started when I saw her coming. I keep my head up best I can. Don't let them run over you. You got to fight. I don't fight, I stay where I'm told. You got to fight them, she say.

 Today there was a field trip to go see the second Black Panther movie. I could've gone but I already saw the movie last Friday. Today in Mr. Rease's class we had to finish the assessment from yesterday. I believe I did well on every question except for the last one.

 Today we took an assessment/benchmark test. To me the test was pretty simple and easy, since most of the test is multiple choice.

Today there were some more people who did their presentations. This time I was actually doing the work I was supposed to be doing. I was able to complete my work on time, and turn it in.

 Today we presented on the letters we had to do from The Color Purple.  My group had the 11th letter. The 11th letter was mainly about Nettie leaving home, Celine becoming a parent, and Mister kicking Nettie out. In the end of the 11th letter Nettie returned home after Mister kicked her out.

 Today I was absent, because I had to look after my mom since she had a fever.

 Today we relearned how to place commas. We also had to write a letter to god after relearning how to place the commas. Today was a boring day for me, although I got plenty of sleep last night I woke up very tired. I nearly fell asleep today until it was time for lunch. After lunch I felt energized, guess I was just hungry, and I finished the work in Mr. Rease's class.

 Today we did an assignment based on the novel The Color Purple. We read the 7th poem in the book.

Today we read 7 poems in the Novel "The Color Purple"

 Today we took an assessment on a passage we read before. Although I wasn't at school to read the ending of the passage I still got a good enough grade on the assessment. I got an 80, which is a grade I consider to be good enough.

 Today we had a lockdown which forced our classes to be held back longer than usual. Today we did the rest of the work for the second set of vocab words from the book. In class the main thing we did was chill and do the little bit of work that we had.
