__**Thank You Ma'am**__
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.

Here's a visual I drew, depicting my view in one of the scene in the short story. The scene I drew not exactly occurred in the story, by it was described in the falling action. It was when Roger told the reason behind the attempt of stealing her purse. And it was all because of his admiration of the "blue suede shoes", that was the most popular thing at the time. I recieved a mark of 20/20.

Along with our visual, we also wrote a test that was about the short story and I recieved a mark of 35/35.

__ **My Story** __
Along with our writing piece, //My Story,// we were required to draw and show how our hands help us accomplish different tasks. //And I received a mark of 10/10.//



My " Collage"



**__Word of the Day __**


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

**__Iqbal __**
My class read the novel, //Iqbal//, by Francesco D’Adamo. This story is about a real boy named Iqbal Masih who is sold into a life of slavery at a carpet factory in Lahore, Pakistan. We learned about the working conditions of overworked and abused children who are forced to make carpets all day long and are denied many of their basic rights. Iqbal knows that this kind of life isn’t right and he tries to make a difference in the lives of many.

**You are the Author **


Throughout the novel, the chapters were only labelled with a number. I took on the role of being the author and I came up with chapter titles that I thought described the events of that chapter. I then summarized the chapter with 3 points of information.

**<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 17.3333px;">Simile cards **
<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 17.3333px;">We learned that a simile is a figure of speech that uses the words “like” or “as” to compare two different things. The novel had many examples of similes and as we read we had to identify, record, and explain the similes. Once we had a large selection of similes, we created a simile card for a comparison of our choice. We had to explain the simile and draw an illustration that represented both parts of the comparison. //I recieved a mark of 10/10.//

**<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 17.3333px;">Explore Response **


<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 17.3333px;">We wrote an EXPLORE reading response after reading the first 5 chapters of the novel. Our response was 6 paragraphs each focusing on a different area. (Ex- Example, P-Purpose, L- Language and Key Lines, O-Organizational Features, R – Relate, E- Evaluate)

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 17.3333px;">//I received a mark of 34/35.// What I did well was that along with my response, I had shown critical thinking about what the novel meant. But what I could do better next time is that be more concise with my editing and revising.

**<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 17.3333px;">Chapter 7 Quotable Passage Quiz **
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.
