Diving head first into new info-by Jeong Ah K. 8A

Today, when we got into class, we felt a scorching blast of heat. Nobody was, of course, happy about this, because we had just completed perhaps the most embarrassing fashion show of our lives with wearable art from our art project. What made things worse was the fact that we had just climbed up a whole lot of stairs.
However, one of the biggest problems was that due to forgetfulness, people forgot their seating arrangement and decided to plop their lazy selves into any chair they thought would be nice (Mr. Armstrong, you should have made little hardcopy charts like the other teachers do). So we had to shuffle around a bit, and after that, we had a little awkwardness with Mr. Campbell, but he managed to get us back on track with our Immersions for weeks twelve and thirteen. Of course there were a few people that preferred to waste their time on certain sites, but Mr. Campbell got most of it straightened out.
There were a few problems with the videos though. Apparently, no one really brought the box with headsets so a lot of people had to use their own. It was a very cluttered and confusing day for all of us.
We didn’t have a general lesson but we all kind of learned that…
a) With freedom comes responsibility
b) Never underestimate any teacher…even if it’s the substitute
c) If a seating chart is given, try to remember the people around you
This time the kudos with the digitized candy (drum roll please) goes to Esther Y. and Se June H. for their work in class. Esther (though she did not enjoy the work) did her part as class representative and tried to get everyone in order. She handed out the laptops and aside from giving Dean laptop number 21 instead of 12 (she was reading the numbers upside down), she did a good job. Se June was extremely focused on his immersion and seemed to get a lot accomplished today (I’m not being biased Mr. Armstrong, he did seemed focused on his monitor and notes).
Just a few quick reminders for 8A: remember you have your quiz on Wednesday and make sure you finish your immersion. An immersion should be handwritten, with the main ideas as well, and the sources. Au revoir!
