Day 11 May 22nd 4:00pm



Today in class students worked on Where I’m from poems. Which are exactly what they sound like. My day was mostly spent grading more poems which I can’t lie I am getting a little bored of. Students also worked on their poetry final project which is students finding a poem they enjoy about anything and then they take a picture of the poem on the object or bring the object if it can go into school. I actually did this project when I was a student at MMS. Mine was about a brain and I made a brain out of bubble wrap. Sadly the project is due Wednesday so I won’t be able to see all of their projects. I worked from 7:45 am to 3:00 pm. I have now worked 80 hrs and 45 minutes in total.

Today In classes students worked on a figurative language quiz. Which was a quiz on all of the work that students have been working on since I arrived at MMS. The quiz contained all the types of poetry we learned. It was structured as multiple choice for interpreting poem sections and then filling in the blank for word choice/ personification. Finally, a couple of sections containing write your own small poems. The quiz was pretty lengthy and the majority of students spent most of the class working on the quiz.  I worked from 7:45 am to 2:00 pm. I have now worked 73 hrs and 30 minutes in total.

Today some students had to work on finishing their SBAC, which is the standardized test in Connecticut. Mrs Westerback her homeroom class and I watched inside out to keep the students not taking tests occupied like the other teachers were. During the regular course, we worked on I-Wish poems where students would write a 7-line poem using the same start for each line. To help students think more about creating poetry and planning what they want to write a poem about. While watching class I realized how much things have changed since I was in sixth grade with all of the work being mostly on chrome books now. students today needed help staying focused and on task which makes sense because of having to sit down so long this morning due to SBAC. I worked from 7:45 am to 3:00 pm.
