 We read another poem I think by the same person. The poem was interesting. We had to answer discussion questions. 

 We read a poem by William Carlos Williams named "The red Wheel Barrow". We worked on a worksheet and we wrote down 10 things that so much depend upon and we shared our answers to with the class. We read the poem and discovered its two themes. We ended with discussion questions, we had to choose 5 and answer them. 

 We worked on another Newsela article and it was about running. We were to read the article and do the quiz.

 All we did today was work on a Newsela article about Tech related jobs. We were to work on the quiz that it comes with and read the article. 

 We worked on a worksheet about the three different types of claim which were claims of fact, claims of value, and claims of policy. We were given or to choose a topic and make a claim that fits the type of claim. We were to come up with some arguable claims. 

 We worked on unpopular opinions and making a claim to support and be against and a compromise. We are to construct a paragraph of our given unpopular opinion. We started without a claim and we are to explain and find evidence to support the claim. 

 What I did over Spring break was pretty much just chill at home. I didn't really do much but was trying to get some school work done. I was mostly sleeping, which was really fun to me. I was mostly just with my siblings not doing much just enjoying the break. I was working hard on some assignments I had to turn in and that pretty much took over most of my spring break. I had opportunities to hang out with friends but I decided not to, I didn't really feel like going out. I mean spring break to me is not about going out its mostly just staying at home and catching up which isn't bad. Overall I liked my spring break even though I didn't do anything exciting.

 This week we started with group presentations
