Period 1: We spent time investigating the theme of the short story "The Open Boat" and reviewing annotation guidelines. Students were given the opportunity to revise their annotations to increase their grades. HW is to come in armed with at least two symbols and explanations of how they work for discussion tomorrow.
Period 2,7,8: Students were given examples of book reviews and an additional 10--15 minutes to add to their reviews. We then spent time discussing the character of Squeaky and book levels were given out. Students ned to come to class tomorrow with a new IR book. Please use the resources to the right to help find a new book.
