Good day!  In class today, we enjoyed a little SSR, then reviewed the Sentry and Voodoo responses you completed last night, keeping Bloom's Taxonomy for Thinking in mind.  We then began a list of the short story terms you will need to know, including introduction, protagonist, antagonist, and plot, for starters.  There is no homework for tomorrow.  Enjoy your evening!

In periods one and two, you had a little time to correct your peers' responses to your INCREDIBLE Bloom's Taxonomy-based questions, you enjoyed a little silent reading, then we discussed a few items on our Sentry continuum.  No homework for the weekend.   Period six students, you are responsible for answering your peer Bloom's Taxonomy questions for Monday, when you'll have a little time to correct them, and we'll continue with our discussion of the Sentry continuum items.   Have a great weekend!

Hello, snowballs!  In class today, we took some time to go through Boom's Taxonomy for Thinking.  It's important to understand the nature and level of the questions being asked of us before we attempt to answer them.  This will lead us into our unit on Short Stories.  Review your Bloom's notes for tonight!

We conducted a little Writer's Workshop today, where you peer edited the introduction of another essay, then we conferenced as you worked toward completing the outline for your "Wish List" essay.  The outline (with a RIDICULOUS amount of detail) is due tomorrow.
