Week 12 Day3
Our project is finished and we presented in class. I overall enjoyed this story because it took me a while to fully get the idea of it and, when I did, it felt very nice.

Week 12 Day2
Cade and I are picking up the weight of Melissa, who has done absolutely nothing for our project and hasn't even been here. Our project is now finished, though.
Week 12 Day1
I finished my part of the "A Devoted Son" project that we have been working on in class. One of our groupmates has done absolutely nothing.

week 11 day2

week 11 day1
we finished up our william blke unit and had some preview questions about a story we are going to read tomorrow
week 10 day4
we did a newsela assignment on the projectable impacts of 3-year degree programs. I learned that students in more struggling states financially but higher than average academic capabilities could benefit, but the program is risky. students already majorly struggle with the 4 year program of today, so going thay much faster through curriculum sounds over-ambtious.
week 10 day3
today was a testing day. there were 40 questions for the poems that we have gone over from William Blake. The test seemed a bit disorganized, but it was comfortable enough for me to be confident in an A.
week10 day 2
Today, we continued our William Blake journey. This poem is a compliment to the one from Monday. Specifically, the poem is a subtle criticism of fake moralists, law enforcers, and whoever else allowed children to work at young ages.
week10 day 1
Today we went over another poem. This poem by William Blake addressed child labor and how the children handled it. Some themes overlapped from other poems such as the struggle between innocence and experience.
Week9 Day 2
On our second day of William Blake, we go over a very interesting duet of poems. The first is themed around a symbolic "Lamb" which is innocent and pure and created by God. The contrasting poem is about the "Tiger" which has suffered, is dangerous, but yet still as beautiful as the lamb and too created by God.
Week9 Day1
We have started the poetry of William Blake. Apparently he was very christian and built his poems around the same themes. He also was an artist and his poetry is artistically imagined on paper. This poem is called "The Poison Tree" and is about the dangers of suppressing hatred or anger.
