The Symbolism of Wallpaper

Today we read a short story full of diary entries. Today by far was one of my favorite days because the stories were so interesting. The woman is suffering from postpartum depression and is driving herself crazy about this yellow, tacky wallpaper. We haven't finished yet, but I can't wait to see what happened at the end.

Reviewing Thesis

Personally, thesis statements are my strongest things to form when writing. I'm not the best writer, but when it comes to forming a thesis or thesis statement, it is something that's natural to me. Today, we reviewed what a thesis statement was and the different ways to write them. The only thing was when we had to construct a umbrella thesis statement. Those are the worst to me. I can do any other one, but umbrellas are the worst. It going to be a challenge doing them from now on, but I'll be proud when I can do them easily.

Discussing Macbeth

Today was one of my favorite days. I love love having class discussions. The students can bring their own thoughts and opinions to the class. We also helps when the teacher chimes in to help us understand. I love class discussions because when it comes time to write an essay, it is a thousand time easier.

Analyzing Prompts

We finished Macbeth today. Afterwards, we given prompts to brainstorm. The process was seemingly easy. I think because of the practice I had last year, it kind of came naturally. Writing the essay may be the tricking part. Overall, today was a simple day.

Also, we nearly finished Macbeth and I think I know what is about to happen. Here's My Story:    After dropping her kids off at school, Rose Lee got on the phone with their father. They had a major argument on how the father never pays child support and never visits the kids. The father explained he felt that it was not his duty to pay child support, regardless of what the judge has to say, since she made more than enough to take care of the children. The explanation as to why he does not visit the kids was never spoken about. Rose felt it was more about responsibility, rather than what she made on a day-to-day basis. To let off some steam, she called her best friend Susan. In which, she suggested that they should go to the nail shop to relieve some stress. As Rose was finishing up wi...

Continue Macbeth

Today was another day where we just read Macbeth. It changed my mindset of a lot of characters. The number one being Macbeth. He went from being more of a strong, yet timid character to a monster. Truth be told Lady Macbeth is now trying to calm him down, even though she made him as he is. I cant wait to see how the ending turns out.
