Today in class we went over what the difference is between Good and Well and when to use them. “Good” is to be used with an adjective, and “Well” is used with an adverb (mainly with words ending in “ly”). We went over that good is used to describe nouns. Well is used to describe adverbs which include adjectives and verbs. We also went over an example of a famous quote from a song that the Rolling Stones wrote. The quote was "You can't always get what you want". We analyzed that the word “you” is in the sentence twice and concluded that you should not use the same word twice in the same sentence. The class then went back into their table groups, to discuss a more specific way to rewrite the quote, by taking out/changing the word “you”.After the class finished discussing that, we were told to go and finish our slide about theme. We started working on it yesterday towards the end of the period. After everyone in the class was done Mr. Rivers brought our attention to a new book that we are starting. It is called “Ready Player One” and we need to finish reading the introductory chapter by friday. It is about an eighteen year old named Wade Watts who is on a mission to find an easter egg hidden inside the OASIS. OASIS is a hyper-realistic video game where everyone in the story plays to try and get away from their life. Some classmates were able to start reading the introduction at the end of class today. Due on friday is an assignment where we read the introduction of the book and then post on the classroom: what the tone of the introduction is, and how does the introduction/tone develop the novel’s intended audience?
Lots of really good details about our learning in class today. Your transitions really help to understand how we progressed through the material, which is great. Consider how multiple paragraphs can help to clarify that even further. As for your second part of the blog post: where is it? You’re missing the extension, which is half of the actual blog! We NEED to apply this information out to the world at large or else we risk just seeing it as some arbitrary thing.
