Today we started with reviewing the expectations for fire drills. We will have one today at 1:45.
Then we all got our assigned computers and logged on.

We all got our computers to work!
Today in LA we started our regular writing workshop by trying out a new writing strategy. This is called Times or Turning Points. Think of a time - first time, last time or a time you realized something. Think of as many stories as you can associated with that time. Collect your stories in a chart. Find one that excites you and write about it. Soon we will have a journal full of great story starts.
Homework:
LA: Resolutions Students received a handout (See link). In journal write a a goal for writing for this year. At home, keep in mind that everything that happens to you is the potential for a story. Come tomorrow with some more ideas for stories.
Math: None tonight
Read: Read your novel for at least ten minutes
