I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy our gorgeous weekend! Perfect autumn weather.
A reminder that DMS has started their canned food drive for River Valley Church. Our goal is 2, 014 cans of food to donate. We can do it! Bring canned, plastic or boxed food items to your period 1 teacher. Let's make this happen for those who are in need.
If you missed the pre on-demand writing for argument (done last Wed.), please come in this Thurs. or Friday at 8:00 to complete. Because this takes a class period, I don't want you missing an entire class to make it up. Please be in touch about which day you are coming. Thanks!
Today we revisited the skill of "Theme" and how to arrive at the message the author is sharing about human nature. Students watched a modern version of "Three Little Pigs" and then identified the steps in the process. After that, they got into novel groups to finish their theme activity - illustrating events that supported their chosen theme throughout the book. Here is a link to the video:

- H/W:
- Please finish the Theme paper handed out in class. Be detailed in your responses and think before you write! The last category in the paper is based upon a book you recently read.
- Stay involved with a good book!
- If you brought home your illustration for the group activity, remember to bring it back tomorrow!
Have a great evening! Thank you for a nice teaching day!
