Dylan's scribe notes 3-13

Today is my turn to Scribe, and I’m really excited to: I don’t see how Scribing is bad, it seems pretty fun. Things may seem weird in my POV, though….so don’t judge how I speak and/or what I see: I have my OWN opinion on things.

So, as I walked into the classroom, I saw that the desks in the center of the room was in a circle. It was, actually, kinda cool. Some of us are a little excited: they elected the Pope just last class…..yet they don’t know who it is yet. I’m excited too, yet not THAT much.

We didn’t pray, kinda weird….but allowed me to get right to writing.

Anyway, everyone was busying talking as Mrs. Gill got situated; some of the things I heard from others were Jes saying “I’m hot! Someone blow on me!” Oh-kay, then.

We read Noah’s Scribe notes…..not offended by Noah saying that I comment a lot: I DO, it’s the truth. Other than some randomness, Noah seemed to know what he was talking about.

Mrs. Gill told me to be EXTRA perspective with the teacher.

Ashley made a comment saying for Austin to be quiet; for once, I agree with her.

We also read Sam’s Scribe: much different than Noah’s, just as much of a hectic class. 

Anyway, I’ve been listening all over the class and, so far, I feel a little overwhelmed: trying to write everything I hear. It's REALLY hard! DX

Anyway, Mrs. Gill wanted us to save and/or follow the blog; no one could, but I made it a frequently visited URL: I am gonna read ANY Scribe I can since they are all funny and cool. Hope people like mine.

I found out something cool: Mrs. Gill has a FACEBOOK PAGE! I should send her a friend request when I can….I tried KC-uh, I mean Mrs. Creely….yet she said she couldn’t be friends with student; maybe Mrs. Gill is different.

After a bit Mrs. Gill passed out a piece of paper and started explaining about the next assignment: it’s an argumentative essay on Nature vs. Nurture. We have to explain which we’re more for: nature or nurture; it can be in personality, criminality, intelligence, anything like that. I can definitely do something like that……..of course, finding sources will be hard (luckily, Mrs. Gill said we can use the article she gave us and Pudd’n’head Wilson as a source). Mrs. Gill encouraged us to choose something we’re interested to help us with writing. Mrs. Gill also said we can just plainly argue the question of Nature vs. Nurture, but we must have a solid thesis and be able to explain the question and which you are for.

When I heard Mrs. Gill say the phrase “born this way” I thought of the Lady Gaga song “Born this Way”…..random thing for me to do :\

Looking at the piece of paper, the essay is due 3/21 by the end of the period; if people are gonna slack off, I suggest to, at least, work hard on it whenever they DO choose to work on the essay.

Tomorrow we’ll be working on the “Works Cited” page in class: that’s good, I stink at putting websites into MLA format.

After Mrs. Gill explained everything she needed to, with the occasional interjection here and there on idea topics, everyone got to work: there are questions on the back that we’re supposed to fill out, to help us plan our essay. I’ll get to work on that in a bit: I want to catch everything that is said.

Jes said that Annie was small, and told Annie how to not argue it……I don’t follow; I don’t WANT to anyway.

English is the second-to-last class of the day: I’m, kinda, hoping for time to pass by faster; I’m going to my Grandma’s house with my dad and sister….then to Best Buy to fix her Kindle and to GameStop to fix one of my games and get a new PS2. Hopefully things go as planned and without hitches…..then again, I have this thing that when I have a good day or something good happens to me, something bad happens and ruins that.

Near the end of the class, when Luke wanted to ring the bell (like he ALWAYS does) Jes wanted to stop him by covering the bell with her cup……Luke hit it, hard, and spilled ice out of it. He picked it up and, while he was doing it, some of the guys was making remarks and comments. Ugh, gimme a break….

Homework for tonight, unofficially, is to research topics for the Nature vs. Nurture essay; no homework, really…..but it’s something that should be decided or be on its way.
