Root of the Week: -log (word) -logy (Study)

Congrats. on your excellent pieces of 'abstract writing.' Enjoy these excellent pieces from Emily and Sanjo.  Also look at the amount of effort Carolina put into her work. When people receive 'F' for not doing their work, this is why. This is what your class mates are doing, so don't you think it is only fair that the difference in effort be reflected in the grades???

Recap: We used artwork  to help better interpret the big ideas in our stories.

MAJOR CHANGE TO H/W 

You all worked well in class today, so I am postponing the writing H/W I have set for this week. Instead, you will be given 30 minutes in Thursday's writing class to turn in EITHER your interpretation of a social issue OR your writing about 'The Bad Sister.' As one of these pieces will be a 'summative writing grade' - I want to give you more quality time to do your best. 

So... use tonight to get  - a good photo - catch up with Membean - read your bookclub book up to date
