Hi everyone! I'm not here today (Carter's getting a filling-- yuck!), so I'm posting in advance.
* read 15 min., fill out log, and write reader's response
* turn in intro and brainstorming (attach with staple -- brainstorming on back)
* take Informational Nonfiction quiz (reading passage with questions...) good luck!
See you Wednesday!

October 24th -- I'm back......
Hi guys! It's been forever and a day since I've last posted, but I'm trying to get back in the swing. :)
Today's assignment: recheck books and read (oh, happy day!) for 15 min.
* fill out log (oopsie -- made a mistake! Put both today's and tomorrow's reading on 10-25 space)
* turn in "In Cold Blood" articles
* read sample memoir (see me for a copy) and sample intros (see me)
* write your own intro!
So -- what did you think of the "In Cold Blood" articles? Let's chat!
Glad to be back!

October 6th
Today we did do grammar, so make sure I get to see your book to check pages 28-29 (Honors classes 28-30). You'll also want to complete pages 31-32 (Honors 31-33A) before next grammar time.
We continued watching Tuesdays with Morrie, and we'll finish tomorrow. Do you like it? I think it's a sweet story!

October 5th -- Tuesdays with Morrie
Sorry, guys! Carter was sick, so today we just watched the movie version of Tuesdays with Morrie. I know you're disappointed we didn't get to grammar, but maybe tomorrow! :)

October 4th -- Carter's Birthday & Tuesday with Morrie
Happy 4th birthday to Carter!
Today after reading workshop, we completed Reader Response #6. Be sure to turn this in!
We also read another literary nonfiction piece, an excerpt from Tuesdays with Morrie, and answered several multiple choice questions. This was a timed reading experience, but if you were absent, please just get it done and turn it in ASAP. Thanks!
