MONDAY:  Received new vocab packets.  Extras on front table.

Week was spent reading independently.  Be sure to fill out logs.  If done with your book, you had the choice to read anything else you wanted or work on your to-be-graded draft of the Dead Poets Society paper.

INDEPENDENT READING LOGS

At the start of class THURSDAY we took 8 minutes and , at the bottom of our logs wrote to this prompt:  WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SUBJECT OF YOUR BOOK SO FAR.  After the 8 minutes was up, we took another two minutes and revised (paragraphing , spelling, capitalization, punctuation etc).

On Thursday, we submitted the logs for this week.

On Friday, a new log went out to classroom.
