Make-the-most-of-it Monday!

Block A: Wow - 7:30 is sure early!!! You will get one more block to write your synthesis essay tomorrow in class. We'll see how much extra time you need after class ends - but I'm thinking we should be finished by 3:30.

Block C: Great work on the peer assessment for your descriptive paragraphs - hopefully you are finding the feedback helpful! Then it was on to the next and last story - "Penny in the Dust" we are looking at theme - the universal truth - what is the author saying about life and what it means to be human. We read the story and started the story map. Most of you were able to finish the map in class - but if not - please do so tomorrow for a homework check!

Block D: I was blown away with your presentations during our poetry cafe today! Thank you for sharing your anthologies, inspiration and poetry. It is a hard thing to do - stand up in front of your peers and share - but you handled yourselves like pros! I hope you enjoyed the treats as well! There is no homework tonight!
