Period 5: Class Similes and Metaphors

Imagine that your favorite class is a person. Describe that person. Imagine that your least favorite class is a person. Describe that person. You are not describing the teacher, you are describing what the classes would be like if they were people.

Example: Spanish is an annoying little kid who harasses me when I want to relax. It keeps pestering me with questions that I don't understand, making me want to bang my head on the desk in frustration. It jabbers on and on, giving me a headache. It's loud and grates on my nerves with its constant, inane babbling.

Period 5: Something New

In Diary of a Part-Time Indian, we have been talking about the expectations that people have and create. Many times people surprise us and change our perceptions and expectations.

Here is a chance for you to surprise us.Tell us something that most people may not know about you. It must be school appropriate and it cannot be something that almost everyone knows about you, like if you play for the school band or are on a school team. This is a chance for us to know something different. It can be one big thing or several small things. For example: Do you like to bake? Maybe you almost died when you were five? Maybe you collect baseball cards and have over 500 of them? Explain in detail. What, when, where, why, how?
