the first book we read was Night John. Night John was about a african american guy who was an escape slave, while he was on the run he tried to go back to where he came from and teach other slaves what he had learned when he left. while he was gone he learned how to read and write and thats what he tried to teach the others. while john was trying ro teach them he finally got caught on a farm but he was not killed.
the other book we read was called Mascot. Mascot was about Malcom x, Malcom went to school with his siblings but he ended up gettin into trouble, then he was set to a different home where he had white parents. while malcom was in his new invironment he tried to fit in with the white kids and he was actually sccessfull in making male friends but he couldnt find female white friends because they didnt wanna talk to him
last we watched a movie called the great debaters, this movie was about a small school of african americans wh made a debate team, on this debate team they had the first girl to ever make the team. this debate team was special because they ended up beating alot of different collages. when they got really good they got a letter form a white collage and they actually ended up beating that college in a debate during time of segregation and racism

make up blog 1
this is a make up blog so i will just talk about my favorit unit that we did. i think that funnest unit that we did is the current unit, mystery and suspence. i lke this unit because we are not only reading mystery stories but we are watching movies that have to do wih mystery and suspence. one of the movies we watched was the illusionist i especially liked that movie because outside of it being a movie for the unit it was a good and intertaining movie

Last week of school
the unit we are doing now in english is very funny and entertaining. i liked watching the movie "when a stranger calls" that movie was hilarious the other thing i like about this unit is the mystery, everything we read/watch is never predictable and i like guessing what the twist is. i hope when we get back to school we can watch more movies and try to find the twist
