Don't forget your draft for your poem for class tomorrow. Look at the sample in yesterday's post. Number of lines are a guideline. You should do at least 16, but you may do more. Avoid doing more than 30 lines. Do not worry about this poem. It is only a draft. If you are not 100% sure what you need to do, just do what you think you need to do, and I'll help you tomorrow.
Tonight's H/W
Place your 'comfort zone' in a place near your desk. Add comments, photos, ticket stubs etc. to it every time you step out of your comfort zone during the 1st Qtr. You will need to return this to school at the end of the Qtr.
Based on our discussions of 'just right books' - go to your family book collection (This could be any magazines, newspapers etc. and select two books for ANY two people in your home.) In your Readers' Response notebook you should write 2 brief paragraphs (approx 50-100 words) explaining why you chose the books for each person. In both paragraphs, you should make specific reference to some of the strategies for choosing 'just right books' that we discussed in class today. (Paragraphs Due: Thur)Watch the videos below for more links on choosing 'Just Right Books"
This one is a little infantile, but it reiterates the IPICK strategy at the beginning
Enjoy this one for fun!

Thinking Ahead...
You should start bringing a USB to school by next week. You will need to use one by next Friday at the latest.

We can't recommend comic books right Mr. Buxton?
or can we?
I think that this blog is a good idea because if for some reason you don't write down our home work we have it on the blog.
See you tomorrow.
