Today in English we had a Debate. The Debate was whether or not The Diary of Anne Frank should be taught in 8th grade English classes. I was on the affirmative side, so my team and I had to say why it should be taught. I'm not really one for debates, but some people in my class are. I had to speak at least once, which I did. Then for the rest of class I sat and listened. Most people made some really good points, both on the negative and affirmative teams. I really enjoyed listening to the debate, but I don't want to do another one. Good thing there is only 15 days left in school. I'm getting sick of it.
My BEDA Buddies (except for adam) and I finally got to have a group skype chat. We are calling ourselves the crumpets. Like the 5AG's Scones.
Pokemon nerd break-TURTWIG EVOLVED!! Awww!
As I was saying, we are all pretty awesome, and get along well. Maureen Johnson has a talent besides writing. It is matching people together. She is good!
No idea what I was going to blog about. I thought I had something to say other than what I have said. Hmmm...if I think of it, I'll edit this post. Bye for now!
