The Outsiders-guest reader Ms. Schwarzkopf takes us through a very serious part of the book. Is he really dead?Copying or Original?-ideas were expressed by some that it's ok to copy answers directly from a textbook. Not so. A piece of student work was read out illustrating the benefits of being an original author rather than a 'borrower' of someone else's efforts.
Reading-20 minutes was spent reading a novel of choice. Students looked for words appearing in text that have also been part of our vocabulary enrichment studies.
Writer's Notebook-notebooks were returned with comments on essays. Students read the comments and vowed never, ever to make the same mistakes again. (???)
Homework-
1) Read 20 minutes.
2) Go over recent blog posts changing copied work to original text.
3) Bring writing journal for Tuesday's usual entry.
