Student Led Conferences
You will be expected to do the majority of the talking in the Student Led Conferences. Hence the term, 'Student Led.'
Make sure you can talk succinctly (brief and to the point) about your 'strengths' and opportunities for growth. Make sure you have practiced talking about the slides in your slide show.
1) Returning classroom books at SLC conferences that you have at home or in your locker that you have finished with. (Max. 3 plus points)
2) Starting and finishing books over the break (Max. 3 plus points e.g. - You get a plus point for every book you read over the break -started new - three books max.)
Have a great break!

Hi Mr. Buxton, Scott Westerfeld came to my school and I got to talk to him about Uglies and Zeroes. He talked about what inspired him to write the story Uglies; it was really cool. Apparently, when one of his friends moved to LA from NYC, he teased his friend a lot about it. And his friend kept telling him about how things were so different from NYC (one of them being that everyone had movie star-like teeth). This led him to start thinking of the Operation, and later the book itself. Also, if you haven't yet, you should read Zeroes.
