Fun on a Friday!

Block A: Our YouTube channel is looking SO great!!! I can't WAIT to see your Top 10s projects in our Showcase Monday!!!

Block B: Great work on the re-design of your linear notes!!! I hope you found it useful today. I'll give you your CLS assignment on Monday.

Block D: Why are theme statements so hard to write?!!! It is just a little sentence! For the weekend: study your short story terminology for the quiz and write 5 beautiful theme statements - 1 for each story we've read.

Thoughts on Thursday:

Block A: One more day to polish your Top 10 iMovie and then we're going to upload them to our private YouTube channel - so excited for Monday!!!

Block B: Great work today on the group discussion! We ran out of time to view all the notes and vote on the best ones - but we'll do that tomorrow. No homework tonight!

Block D: I know that writing theme statements is not exactly easy work - but we're at least on the right track! We'll continue tomorrow - no homework tonight!

Mull-it-over Monday!

Block A: Only ONE more class to work on your Top 10 project!!! Goal for tomorrow is to make sure you've met all the criteria for the project - images, subtitles, voice over and music!

Block B: There is no specific homework for tonight - just make sure that parts A, B and C of your "What is it?" inference activity are done for Wednesday. You may or may not get time in class tomorrow to work on it!

Block D: If you did not complete your setting Haiku for "The Veldt" please do so for homework tonight. You need to write your best 2 on the index card provided (in pen) and put your name on the back. I'll collect tomorrow. If you missed the instructions here they are:

Fun-times Friday!

Block A: Keep up the good work! We're making the big push to the March 2nd due date!!!

Block B: Your "What is it" sentences are due on Monday. Don't forget to study for the noun quiz as well!!!

Block D: Great work on the questions for further analysis today. Such thoughtful responses. Homework this weekend is to complete the first analyzing setting chart - the front side only.

Thoughtfully Thursday!

Block A: I know that music is causing some issues right now - we'll stick with it and see what we can learn!!!

Block B: The noun quiz will be on Monday. Make sure you are prepared by studying your notes and completing the review worksheet from class today. Homework tonight was to complete 3 of the 4 text-message inference tasks. There will be a homework check on this tomorrow.
