October 7-11

A reminder that this is a short week!  Students do not have classes Thursday or Friday.  Enjoy your long weekend, and have a great turkey day!

LA - Everyone is due to present their book commericals on Tuesday.  We've had lots of time to do these in class - each student is responsible to tell us about their book - who is in it, when and where it takes place, what it's about, 2-3 main events from the beginning and 2-3 from the middle.  With that, they'll make it sound interesting enough that other students will want to read the book as well.  They'll also read a short part of the book (around one minute) to the class, which shows what a great book it is.
Next week, we'll present our how-to writing.  Students can (but do not have to) bring in items to help explain what they are doing / making.  They will (hopefully) have access to the smartboard as well.
