6th Grade English

Today we turned in our Japanese American Job and Journal Response. Lindy shared her summary of the couple pages we read last night. Alex connected to the story saying that he’s not able to control his life, and that he can’t make his own choices yet. Mitch shared two skinny and fat questions, such as, “Was Norman born in America?”. Christy shared her journal response about her thoughts and opinions on the reading. She was very surprised that the boys name is “Norman”, and every time she said his name, she paused dramatically. She also thought that the Americans did the right thing putting all of the Japanese Americans in camps, but Max on the other hand thought the total opposite. Mr. Watson gave complements and opinions on both of theirs. The class had a very lengthy discussion on the subject. Chiara shared her wonderful picture she drew about Norman and his family moving and he for sale sign in their house. Mr. Watson is discussing our new writing project next week. There are three different options. We don’t have any homework over the weekend, or Tuesday. We don’t have to do the writing over the weekend, we don’t really know enough info, and Mr. Watson wants us to relax.
