Eng 9 - Thanks for another great five-minute write.  It's quite a blessing to get to know you all a little better every day.  Great start on using MS Word for our MLA citation, too.  We'll continue with that tomorrow. Eng 122 - Don't forget about your Reflection, due tomorrow. Today, we did a quick review of four main points of view (narration styles), and we figured out that section I of Hiroshima must be read for Monday...and that includes your active reading notation, as well.  That's your proof that you're actually thinking, connecting, and questioning as you go.  Oh, thanks for your input at the end of class, too.  Much appreciated. Eng 112 - Thank you for the five-minute write again today.  From there, we went to our beautiful new Learning Commons to read in comfort.  Each novel group determined a manageable reading goal for tomorrow or Monday..and you were all given a reminder about your active reading notation (same as the 122's in the post above this one).  We'll continue with this tomorrow.  Oh, A - K...REFLECTIONS DUE TOMORROW!  YESSSS!!! LIAM - Hey there!  Your group decided to be at the end of chapter one for tomorrow, to see how that feels.  We'll keep you posted...and give your study buddy a big hug from me!

Eng 9 - Today, we had our five-minute write and "a say", you selected your research topic, then you got to work!  We'll continue that tomorrow, and take our first look at how to use Mocrosoft Word to do your MLA citation.  Pretty big stuff! Eng 122 - Don't forget your Reflection for Friday!  Today, you informed your peers about everything we need to know about Hiroshima before we get to it, you received your Guiding Question for section I, and you took a peek at the type of test you'll be writing at the end.  Also, remember that you'll be required to provide evidence of your active reading through notation, and you'll develop your own research topic. Eng 112 - You too - don't forget your Reflection for Friday.  Nice work in frontloading your novels.  Don't forget your notes as you work your way through your book!
