Tuesday 1/27

Today we wrote a note to ourselves regarding what we want to remember about projects, about partnerships and about who we are as learners so when we begin a new project next quarter, we will be reminded of both our strengths and our weakenesses. THis was done as a google doc and named project thoughts. We also printed out powerschool grades so if there were questions, we could address them well before the end of the week.

Important--Essay grades below 85 can be rewritten and turned in for a new grade, however, this must be done by the end of the day on Thursday--no late work will be accepted after Thursday.

HW: Read/log/post it 150 minutes due on Monday. No late logs will be accepted.

I hope you had a fantastic weekend. Today we are going to attempt to eliminate some of the helping verbs in your poems in order to breathe some life into them.  We are also going to encourage you to find some pictures today.  Please see the handout for tips not only for searching but also for reducing the "telling" in your poems.
