Personal Essay: The Final

Write personal essay-students had 45 minutes to construct a personal essay on a topic of their choice. This activity culminates a quarter of work developing the essay style and construction techniques.
Vocabulary review-list 5 was reviewed with a look at student blogs displaying their visual definitions. It was amazing how many students had unique pics to show the meanings of their vocabulary words.
Library visit-time was spent in our middle school library, the book store where all the books are free. While students were able to check out any book of their choice, our visit did focus on two authors, Caroline Cooney and Lois Duncan, two writers who produce books for students who have already well developed reading skills.


Homework-
1. Read two times.
2. Consider the blogging of the break. Discussion and examples Monday.
