You, my dear students, are part of a wonderful experiment. I ask you to learn new things every day. Well, now it's my turn. I'm venturing into the scary world of blogging. Initially this will serve as our homework page and will store copies of our assignments. Eventually (if all goes well), it will serve as a discussion page to analyze readings and give responses.  H.O.P.E. will have it's own page too. Yay! I can hardly wait. But for now baby steps...

GRADE 8 ELA - FREEZE! STOP WHERE YOU ARE...

           - You know how we were doing a full page response for each chapter
               of  The Outsiders? Well stop...Keep reading the chapters and using the
               post-its to record your responses. I will be reading each chapter aloud to
               you. This will give you the chance to "beef up" your responses before
               putting them in paragraph form.
             - You MUST be finished reading all 12 chapters by the end of Thursday
             - The Outsiders movie on Wed, Oct 6th - You can bring snacks if you'd like
