Angie Hiegel 3rd hour
Today we started off English IV the same as usual. We all sat down and talked amongst ourselves for a few short minutes before Mr. Becker instructed us to clear our desks for the quiz over the book we are currently reading, called Rebecca. The quiz was fairly easy, and not second guessing myself I turned in the quiz as the other people in my class did. After Mr. Becker collected the quizzes Tarah read her scribe notes from yesterday, describing the day's events. After this we began our discussion with our readings thus far in Rebecca, and any questions we had. Many had their own opinions on the book and Garrett made a connection with the blood-red plants that surrounded Manderley as Taylor made the assumption of Maxim murdering his past wife. I had learned that different types of flowers actually have meanings, and that the rhododendrons described so many times in the book actually mean danger and warning. It leads me to think that this could mean something very significant in the future of the book. Certain twists are leaving the class guessing what the mysteries of Manderley are, and some already have thoughts of their own. I, for one, want to keep reading to uncover the mystery. Then, class ended and we all headed to fourth hour.

Yesterday was quite an interesting day at FHC. The lock down caused sixth and seventh hour to be shortened by ten minutes. First things first in seventh hour, reading quiz. As we were going over our quizzes to determine whether we knew our "Rebecca" trivia, Mrs. Kozlowski came in with a big WOO-HOO! We learned that we had met our class goal with an 83% average. After the quick "way-to-go" moment we continued and finished up our quiz answers. Mr. Becker expressed his frustration with the shortened class period, indirectly of course. We learned our next reading assignment and then proceeded to begin our discussion. As usual, the same five people talked, and the same silent people remained silent. As I look around the room, I see almost every student with their eyes fixed on the clock. Apparently shortened days aren't short enough. The discussion passed slowly with frequent cricket-chirping moments causing Mr. Becker to pull out his handy-dandy discussion topic paper. When the bell finally rang and students sprint to their cars like every other day, and for many students in English IV, procrastination begins, and there is no more "Rebecca"... At least until tomorrow.
