For my Q1 project, I made a newspaper article on how Sarny and John were being mistreated by their evil "owner" Clel after they were caught writing.

For my Glogster I researched and read about Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison was known for being the creator of the light bulb and many other inventions.
Q1- Favorite Essay
Sojourner Truth delivered her Aint I a Woman? speech in 1851 at the Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio. Her short, simple speech was a powerful rebuke to many antifeminist arguments of the day. It became, and continues to serve, as a classic expression of womens rights. Truth became, and still is today, a symbol of strong women.
AIN'T I A WOMAn
Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that 'twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what's all this here talking about?
That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?
Then they talk about this thing in the head; what's this they call it? [member of audience whispers, "intellect". That's it, honey. What's that got to do with women's rights or negroes' rights? If my cup won't hold, but a pint and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half-measure full?
Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.
Obliged to you for hearing me, and now old Sojourner ain't got nothing more to say.
Q1-Reflection
I really enjoyed the first quarter of English 10. We learned how to organize our essays by content we also learned how to annotate book, articles, and speeches. I think the most important work we did were the Nightjohn projects because it thought us how to be creative and original with our work. I wish we had skipped the Sound of Thunder essay because it was just really tedious to do. I am looking forward to doing more creative, self-based projects that keep us thinking. My goals in Quarter 2 are to get a 95% or higher, turn in everything on time, and to not get into any trouble with substitutes.
QUARTER TWO

Q2-Animoto
For my Animoto, I decided to use the book "S**t My Dad Says". This book was reallyyy funny with a lot of comedy and laughs. The book was about a man who gets dumped by his girlfriend and-in turn-becomes homeless. So he decides to go and live with his parents again. Based on true events.
