Nov. 3

We looked over "Agnes" and worked on discussing character.

You also received a creative writing prompt. You are to complete the first two columns on the character traits chart (names/traits) so that on Monday, you can do some creative writing using your brainstorming.

Complete the "Discussing Character" handout and the two columns of the chart for Monday.

Coming up:

Nov. 4: Early dismissal at 12:45

B block: CE - Noah Comic is due
D block: last day in library for World Religions project - notes are due on Monday, Nov. 7

Nov. 7: Block rotation F, G, H, E then B, C, D, A

Nov. 9: Presentations start
Presentations should be about 10 minutes long. Aim for between 7-15, and you'll be fine. Be sure to practice with your group, and remember that the slides should be simple, easy to read, and add to your overall presentation. I will make my classroom available for practice at break and lunch as well as on Wednesday morning (Nov. 9) from 8:00-9:10 (late start).
