Ethnography Report by Xiu Ling

We started our day with morning pages. After writing for couple of miutes, in came Late Leo. Fifteen minutes later, Duck Diego came in with crutchs. His mom asked Ted if Diego could avoid walking too much. Someone realized that Diego's mom forgot to give Diego his lunch box. Ted ran after her to save Diego's lunch. Once everybody was quiet, Ted asked if there were any volunteers to share their notebooks. No one raised their hands so Ted shared first and then 4-5 boys read their journals. Ted opend Diego's Ethnography Report on the wiki.We spell and grammar checked his report to make sure everything was right.Then we looked at one of my poems, called Atwater and counted and read the rhymes. Jack asked Ted to make him a home page. Ted called on Matthew to help Jack because he thought he could learn from one of his peers. Jack said, "I want my homepage to be called Snakefur's Basket," and Matthew helped him make a homepage. Then Musical Molly helped Jack put his homepage under Tween Writers. Gordon brought in two books of limericks which Ted read from.Ted put on a timer for 7 minutes and then we had to write our own limericks. We took an early break and snacked. When we came back in, Ted wanted everybody to read one of their limieriks. We laughed at the funny ones. Our new project was to write a short story called A-Z story. Ted read an A-Z story that he wrote with expression and acting out each character. We began our stories,but after 5 minutes he stopped us to read a hand out on how to start a story.Then it was time to go.
