"Aristotle" write around
Write the beginning
NanowWriMo Prep
HW: RJ 11.1 15-20 pages

So, I finally got on here. The computer didn't work so we had to restart the whole thing and now it's working. The class talked about "Aristotle's" beginning. Religious text, from the Bible, are in there so if you're familiar with the Bible you"ll understand more easily. "This is your first night with her, your first night without her", this could be the beginning of a relationship or, as Maytal said, your mother. I like how Billy Collins, the writer of this poem, switched up the text there and gave you different ways to look at it. We're only looking at the beginning of the poem today because we are starting to write the beginning of our novels, or at least our drafts. The room is pretty quiet since everyone's working hard. I hear Zander asking if we can write about our lives and the answer is yes, but my opinion is that we should write about someone else's life. We've lived our own so I think it would be interesting to write with someone else's point of view. Maytal just "whispered" my name. That was not a whisper May, I'm on the other side of the room and I heard you. I'm suprised Ms. Nakada didn't hear you. Anyway I turned around and she looked like a scary creature waving at me. She wants me to mention her in her so here, MAYTAL...........creeper. Now everyone is sharing their beginnings. Michael's was really good, about the new paper being written. Maytal's about a leaf falling, I wanted to write about a new plant growing. Rios's about a tear falling. Everyone did an amazing job. Remember put the "Aristotle" poem somewhere safe because we're going to be using it a lot.

Ms. Nakada just plomped down the NaNoWriMo packet. Writing a novel in 30 days?! Over 100,000 people around the world are doing this as well?! This is crazy, yet exciting. Don't press the Inner Editor Containment Button, not yet at least. My inner editor is a man with glasses, yes it's kind of a stereo type. Maytal's and Zander's editors are fat people, one running, and the other with a beer in his hand. That's nice. Rios's is a hobbit

 Ms.Nakada is dressed all fancy today!
