Happy Halloween!!
Be careful trick or treating... it is dark and dreary out there; the goblins might get you!

Congratulations to my period 6 for winning the PIZZA PARTY for box top collections! Wow! Thank you :)

P. 1,4: Today we reviewed Point of view for the last time before the quiz! No problem...you got this. Students worked on their fiction/nonfiction analysis with a common theme by creating Talking Heads. You are pulling out some fantastic symbolism. Can't wait for the finished product!
H/W: Point of View assessment tomorrow. Make sure you study your definition sheet and think of our examples and tips (such as not considering dialogue).

P. 2, 5, 6: Fish Bowl Socratic today! How exciting to see you in charge of your learning and discussion! Students came well prepared, and for many of them this format is unfamiliar; they stepped up and did a great job. Bring all your supplies tomorrow because we will continue.
H/W: Point of View assessment tomorrow. Make sure you study your definition sheet and think of our examples and tips (such as not considering dialogue).

P. 5: Chpt 13 RC Monday

Have fun tonight! Don't like Baby Ruth bars? This is a tough thing for me to do, but I will take those off your hands; someone's got to do it, right? I will make the sacrifice...                                             :)
