Congratulations on your first assessed discussion today. Discussion grades will be in powerschool by Sunday 12pm Three points to consider:
1) If you do the work, (read and think about the text beforehand) you will LEARN. If you don't...
2) Always think about how setting effects characters
3) State unique claims that could beyond the most obvious statements
Reminder: If you perform badly on an assessment, you can redo it. I had three people today redo their 'parts of speech' assessment. Each one improved their grade score! I will not chase you. You must ask me!
Next Week
- Character reading response due: Wed - Make sure you are stating a clear claim. Look at mentor text example on blog for guidance.

- First Draft of Memoirs finished by end of class: Wed - Due date for memoirs will be: Friday Oct 18th.
Put a smile on your face this weekend

I really like that video about the art of happiness. When it said that you don't have to be an artist I was thinking that exact same things. It doesn't matter what other people see it is what you see and what you realize is the main core of you.
Hey Mr. Buxton, how's being a 7th grade teacher going?
Not the same without you Camille. How is the new school? Big hugs!
It's.... different I miss all of you guys at SAS but I guess a change once in a while is always good.
