Wow, some really nice poetry, short stories and letters have been written this week. Final drafts of this work will be collected on Monday. Please take the time to read carefully for typos before you turn these in, it would be shame to put so much work into bringing the language to life with sensory details and active verbs to have it look like you didn't care! I would invite you to have a parent or a friend read it over with "editor's eyes".
I'm sure some parents are wondering when the IR book that you so nicely helped your child find (THANK YOU) are due. We will actually not have to start reading them until Monday since some titles were very difficult to get. The students will then have three weeks to finish the books. I am going to give them time in class almost daily to read these and their hw will be very light so they should be reading each night. We will do fewer Cornell notes this time and they will be focused on relating the history in the book to the research they have found. Have a great weekend
