150 minutes outside reading

                      During Mardi Gras break I read chapters 6 and 7 of Nervous Conditions. I spend all of the 150 minutes outside reading time reading these two chapters. I think spend this much time reading these two chapters is really helpful because I read more carefully and I understand more easily. I also annotated more carefully.
                     I think in these two chapters the book get very interesting.  Babamakuru and his daughter Nyasha get into a physical fight because Babamakuru doesn't like Nyasha hanging out with the baker boy and Nyasha is not respecful to him. Tambu's view of Babamakru change because of this. There's a new character named Lucia in chapter 10. Lucia is in some very cofusing relationships with three men, even Tambu's father. The book is getting more and more interesting.

Mardi Gras Break

                   Last week was Mardi Gras break. I'm glad that our school has one week of for Mardi Gras because my cousin's school only has three days off. I think this break was very helpful because we don't need to go to school so we can use the time to review what we did during school.
                  I didn't go to any parades during Mardi Gras break but I still had fun during the break. I went to the mall on monday adn shopped all day. I was very happy because I loves shopping. On friday we went out for dinner because it's one of my uncle's friend's birthday. We had a lot of fun. I enjoyed Mardi Gras break!

reading response

                 This week I spend some of my 150 minutes outside reading time continued working on my draft of the world issue research paper.
                  I spend rest of my 150 minutes outside reading time reading chapter two, chapter three, and chapter four of Nervous Conditions. A lot of things happend in these three chapters. Tambu talked more about why she doesn't like her brother in chapter two. Nhamo died because of a disease in chapter three.In chapter four, Tambu went to the mission with her uncle to study. I know that Tambu doesn't really like her cousin--Nyasha.

This week

                  This week we hand in our rough draft of the world issue research paper. We also finished chapter two and chapter three of Nervous Conditions.
                  This week is also the last week that the six chinese exchange students stay at our school. They are going to travel around Washington D.C. and New York City. I'm a little sad that the chinese exchange students left. During their stay, We had a great time together. We went on a few field trip together and had a lot of fun.

150 minutes outside reading

              This week we started reading a new book named Nervous Conditions in my English class. I spent 30 minutes reading chapter one of this book. After I finished reading chapter one, I learned about Tambu's life and family.
              I spent the rest of the 120 minutes working on my world issue research paper. This week I finished my rough draft and hand it in to turnitin.com. I think I still need to do some changes to my research paper. I am not satisfied with my conclusion. I think I will change it after the peer discussion because I need some advice from my classmates.

This week

                   This week my English class started reading a new book named "Nervous Conditions". This week we only read chapter one. There are many characters in this book, I 'm afraid if I will get confused. But Dr.deGravelles gave us a characters list and it helped a lot. 
                   This saturday I went on a trip with my uncle and aunt. We drove to Missisippi and went to Natchez and Jackson. We drove all day. First, we drove 2 hours to Natchez and visited down town. And then we drove another 3 hours to Jackson and drove along Missisippi river. The view of Missisippi river is so beautiful!
