Thoughtful Thursday!

Block B: Today was your LAST work block before the presentations on Monday. Tomorrow we are going to go to the Year End Music Assembly put on by our wonderful school band and choir. Please come to class first for attendance, we will go down to the gym together.

Block C: You have 1 more block to complete your project in class tomorrow. Just a reminder that we will be showing our projects - in whatever state of "readiness" they are in Monday!

Talk about Tuesday!

Block B: Today you started working on your Outsiders role plays. You will have 2 more work blocks (Wednesday and Thursday) before we present on Monday. Tomorrow you should try to work on your script so that you are ready to start practicing on Thursday.

Block C: I hope you found the project check in helpful - so that you can see exactly what is required of you for the project. Keep up the good work - we will show our projects - in whatever state of "readiness" they are in on Monday!

Merrily on Monday!

Block B: Phew! Most of you were able to complete the grammar test and the good copy of your character analysis in class today - nice work! There is no homework tonight!

Block C: We will have a mini project check-in to start class tomorrow. We're curious about how much you've done and what still needs to get done for our Monday showcase. Make sure you're asking questions if you're stuck!

Fun-Times Friday!

Block B: Many people were struggling to get their good copies done in class today. I will give you some time on Monday to finish up - 25 mins or so. Come prepared to silent read if necessary. We will still have our grammar test on Monday - so make sure you study! Have a great weekend!

Block C: Top 5 projects are really taking shape! We'll continue working on them in class on Monday. Keep up the good work!

Thoughts on Thursday

Block B: You will have a full block tomorrow to complete the draft and good copy of your formal character analysis paragraph. If you need extra time we can arrange tomorrow.

Block C: It is full steam ahead on our Top 5 project! Topics are chosen, criteria and items are being ranked and judged against the criteria. Keep researching images and we'll start putting together projects tomorrow!

Wondering about Wednesday?

Block B: There is no homework tonight! There will be a public health nurse in class tomorrow to conduct a survey with you. You will have a full class of writing on Friday to complete your character analysis.

Block C: There are a lot of great ideas out there for your Ultimate Top 5 projects! We will be working on these for the next week or so. Manage your time and ask for help when you need it. The finished project is due at the end of class June 1st. We will present our finished projects on Monday June 4th!

Tasks for Tuesday!

Block B: If you didn't finish your book vs movie comparison - please do so for homework tonight. We will continue working on your formal character analysis in class tomorrow! Think about which character you think you have a lot to interpret about their character, but this is an in-class assignment - so don't work ahead and do any planning outside of class time.

Block C: Good work today on the discussion of criteria and the Top 10 books! If you are missing work - please make sure you get it in as soon as you can!
