November Begins

Make sure that you are not falling behind in your Lucy books. Check out a memoir before or after school and start working on your log.

1: We started with our vocab review of Unit 16. Some of you were passing more than normal, so make sure you study your words this evening. We shared our analysis of "Ode to a Nightingale" and how it compares and contrasts with our other Romantic bird, the skylark. At the end of the hour, we began our prompt tips, which will continue forward into tomorrow. Then, comes your Keats prompt, your new Bird prompt, a team close read, and more.

3: We found vocab experts again! We are not 12 words into the cycle, which means we will finish that unit tomorrow. For the remainder of the class, we worked our way through "To a Skylark," which we will conclude tomorrow with our last 2 partnerships. "Ode to a Nightingale" will follow.

7: We added four more vocabulary words, discussed ways to improve our prompt writing, added the Keats prompt to our portfolios, received our new Bird prompt, a take home prompt that will have the same parameters as before: typed or handwritten, two days time for completion, due by 3:45 p.m. on Thursday. Remember, if you are here at any time on Thursday, the hard copy is still due. If you are absent the entire day, you will e-mail/share/photograph a copy of the essay and then turn in a hard copy the next day. We may start the team close read today? In any circumstance, we will be working on it tomorrow as well.
