English 9 - period 1 - We began our day today with a look at our friend Calvin and his monsters under the bed (and an examination of using re-reading and text features to help us in understanding what we read).  From there, we reviewed Bloom's Taxonomy for Thinking, and began the first phase of our Bloom's assignment.  For homework tonight, please read The China Doll.  We'll discuss it together tomorrow, then begin making up the appropriately-levelled questions. English 9 - period 2 & 3 - Same thing as period one with Calvin, then we set to work on our questions.  They look GREAT so far!  We'll complete them in class tomorrow, then we'll take the time to have someone else answer them.  So, no homework. English 122 - Good work with your Bloom's questions.  I think you are certainly getting the idea.  From there, we began looking at what makes a website credible as an intro to our writing of a formal essay.  No homework tonight.
