Despite the fatiguing mindset which often accompanies period 5, once we settled down to read in the library, you all re-gained the enthusiasm needed for a fantastic English class. Once again I was excited to see how skilled you are. We worked on three diverse aspects of the course, creating Shelfari accounts, defining our literacy projects and committing to a recitation piece. Please have a piece chosen by Monday. There are 14 of you inside the 10A Shelfari group. A few of you are not in there yet. We'll make sure we're all in the group during our next class. Please be sure to post in the group. I'll bring a camera to class so we can upload a photo. Those blue avatars are a little dull.
Your chart is due next class on the story "The Fall of a City". Please review the criteria so that your chart is well developed, contains strong evidence from the text and several beyond-the-lines inferences/opinions/connections. Superb charts lead to superb thesis statements which lead to incredible paragraphs that delight and inform. Can't wait to see how well you write.
Have a good weekend contemplating, reading, and writing. More great things to come next week.
