10/17

In reader's notebooks today students wrote a new entry wherein they described Nightjohn's personality so far and told why or how they knew that to be true.  We then talked about strategies readers use to grow ideas about characters beyond making movies in our minds.  We also draw on our own experiences to help us "step in the shoes" of our characters to help us feel, think or experience what they are feeling.We then read to page 70 in Nightjohn and stopped periodically to step in the shoes of Mammy, Sarny and John.  HW is to read, post it and log.  Also Tomorrow is last day for permission slips
