There are many quotable passages in the novel. We had to identify important quotes and explain why they were significant. After reading chapter 7 we wrote a quiz where we had to respond critically to certain passages. After the quizzes were marked, we then had to go back to our quiz and make corrections to our answers.

"//Thank You Ma'am//" Test
We read the short story, “Thank you, Ma’am” by Langston Hughes. This story shows the consequences a young thief faces after attempting to steal a strong, yet compassionate, victim’s purse. Rather than punish the young thief, Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones empathizes with him and takes him into her home for a hot meal. She teaches him a valuable life lesson.

I chose to draw the scene in the story where Mrs. LBWJ points at the victim and says "//You a lie!//" because that part of the story made me think hard about people's bad actions.

TASK: Each day we were given a word and its definition. We then had to write the word in a sentence that showed we understood the meaning of the word.

INTENT: The purpose for learning a new word each day is to enrich our vocabulary in our own writing and expand our knowledge of the English language.

CRITERIA: We were expected to:
 * Keep our notebook up-to-date
 * Share our sentences with the class
 * Use the word in a context related to our subject areas

TASK: I was to create an organized piece of writing that tells my story. My story is made up of details and memories that construct who I am.

INTENT: Everyone’s story begins the same way but from that moment on our “stories” become unique. Many people and many events are a part of our stories. The purpose of this assignment was for me to tell my story focusing on key events, people, and experiences that helped shape my story.

CRITERIA: My final piece has three paragraphs and a reflection: a) How my story began (5 marks) b) A specific memory or event that had a meaningful impact (5 marks) c) My future self – Who do I see? What goals do I want to attain? (5 marks) d) Reflection on my final piece of writing (5 marks)

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 17.3333px;">I chose to draw the scene where Iqbal and Fatima, from the book "//Iqbal//" by Francesco D'Adamo, fly a kite in the spring time. I chose to draw this scene because the kite represented freedom and it also meant that Iqbal and Fatima had hope on escaping. =Social Studies=
