Day 8: Tuesday, May 18th

 10:00 am

Voices of Color does not meet today, so I will just be reading today. I made a lot of progress in my book yesterday, and I am hoping I can get even more done today since that's all I need to do. I also need to see if the second book came in yet, since it was supposed to come in today. 

1:00 pm

I haven't been checking in hourly because there's really nothing exciting going on, I am just reading. I added a few more discussion topics to the list, and I hope to be able to add in a few more by the end of the day. I have made a lot of progress so far today, I can't believe how good this book is! (Anyone reading this HAS to read "The Water Dancer" by Ta-Nehisi Coates)

3:00 pm

I know that this was a short and boring blog today, but there hasn't been much to really talk about except that I have been reading the whole time, and no one wants to read a repetitive blog, right? I am hoping to finish up the novel within the next few days so that I can jump right into "The Best We Could Do" (the graphic novel) ASAP. I put in 5 hours today which brings my total up to 34 hours total. Getting close to the end, these weeks are going by so fast!

Day 10: Thursday, May 20th

  12:30 pm A late start today, but that's because I was listening to an incredible lecture in the meeting house this morning. Definitely a great way to start my day! I will be staying later than usual today because I need to finish this book, it feels like it just keeps getting longer and longer. Normally I wouldn't mind, but this is a time-sensitive matter and I really need to finish VERY soon, if not today then tomorrow for sure. I have class at 1:25 today and I believe we will be talking a little more about the students' college essays. I am going to stay after classes today and read until I am at a point where I know I can finish the novel tomorrow. Until then, I am going to read. Peace! 1:30 pm I am in class right now and we are talking about college essays. Once we are done with this, I am going to continue reading.  3:00 pm I've had a hard time staying focused today and got sidetracked with a lot of college stuff. I talked with Shauna about where I was at and she...

Weekly Reflection #2

  This week seems to have gone by a lot quicker than last week, I feel like I barely got anything done! Thinking back on it, I think it only feels that way because I got the majority of the tedious work done last week. This week, I have mainly just been reading “The Water Dancer” by Ta-Nehisi Coates and coming up with discussion questions for each class based on the chapters. Thankfully, this novel is AMAZING and it has been really hard to put it down! I definitely recommend this book to anyone and everyone who has the time to read it. I have been a little stressed this week because I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to finish both “The Water Dancer” and “The Best We Could Do” before the end of Senior Project, but Shauna and I talked and figured there wasn’t really a need to read both novels. That is, as long as I had all of the classes mapped out for each day (which I had already done). I am almost finished with “The Water Dancer” and that will conclude my Project, and then a...

Day 3: Wednesday, May 12th

  10:00 am I woke up late and ended up missing the first few minutes of Voices of Color this morning. I haven't really been feeling great the last few days and I've been really tired. Today I am going to talk with Shauna and discuss what I have come up with so far and adjust/proceed accordingly. Just to recap, I've chosen two books, and written paper topics for each and a project to go along with them. After I discuss with Shauna, I will most likely have my goal for the day set into place. 11:00 am So far I have come up with a final project idea for the book that the class is currently reading. The novel that they are reading is "Little Fires Everywhere" by Celeste Ng, and I wanted to make the project fun so, of course, being me, I incorporated art into it. My idea is that students are going to use their imagination to reconstruct a scene from the novel using any medium of their choice (as long as it's fun and colorful!) like paints, crayons, colored pencils, ...
