This is my quizlet set. We have all been documenting sentences/structures and vocabulary in our personal quizlet sets. We also include sentences from projects. For example, I put down sentences about my alien for my project so I can look back at those sentence structures for future reference.
Above is my Plague Letter. In Humanities, we had to write a letter to a friend or family member about the plague. I wrote to my mother. I was the princess of France and I was suspecting that the plague was coming. I wrote a letter because I was going to run away to the mountains. When I was writing, I had to constantly remind myself to not use the word “got” and also to say that I had the plague because if I had it, I wouldn’t be writing a letter. I had to talk about the plague so I wrote that I had a friend in Germany who was also a princess. Her father had the plague so she described the symptoms along with the dreadful flagellants. This post shows that I know a lot about the plague and how the symptoms play out. I didn’t have any goals that had to do with writing.
Revision is adding more to a story without worrying about mechanical errors. Unlike editing where you try to fix all of the mechanical errors in your piece. In revision, you don’t change anything. You just add things to the story to fill in gaps of the story arc that you missed in your first draft or making a part in the story more interesting or clear.
In my piece I am not very proud of my revision job. I fixed gaps in my story arc and made parts more clear but I feel like I didn’t make my story more suspenceful or interesting.

On January 15th, we went to The Cloisters! I liked the unicorn tapestries room and the gardens. The Cloisters Museum relates to social studies because all of the pieces of art are from the middle ages.
Something I’m proud of is my Thanksgiving Piece because I was really descriptive in my writing. I learned that I used a lot of words over and over again. How I can continue to do my best work in the future is by using more juicy/descriptive words.
Something that was a bit challenging was my Parzival Essay but I’m still very proud of it. One reason I thought that was challenging was because I didn’t want to repeat my sentences in each paragraph. I learned how to back up my thesis statement and how to write a proper body paragraph. How I can continue to do my best work in the future is by doing the same thing I am going to do for my Thanksgiving Piece.
This is a song that Grace and I have been working on in music class. At first we wanted to do a ukulele duet. We experimented with that but then we decided to use some of the instruments on the website. We still used the ukulele as the chord progression though. I hope you like it!
This is the grade I got a few days ago. The first pop quiz we did in this format I got a 2. (Which means I got 2 out of 4 correct.) After getting that grade, I started practicing at home. I started to get better grades like a three and then eventually I got a four! I’m going to keep studying at home and hopefully I will keep this good progress up!
