Writing The Personal Essay

Personal Essay-students chose their own personal essay topics for construction today. They were urged to pick a single issue, such as "Why School Is Beneficial." In the past we've focused on essays where they were choosing one pathway or another, such as, "Would you rather live in an apartment or a house?"
Vocabulary Quiz-we tested on list four of vocabulary words. This sets ourselves up for next week achieving our half century of quality vocab words for the first semester.
The Outsiders-guest reader Ms. S. was able to get time to visit and take Pony Boy and Johnny deeper into their flight from law and order. Can this story end positively?

Homework-
1. Read 20 minutes
2. Bring journal to class
