6A & 6B- The first reading journal of the year was assigned this week. The prompt is as follows: Making Connections (text to self, text to text, text to world).  Does this book remind you of another book that you have read in the past? Does it remind you of something you have experienced in real life?  Please tell me about two connections that you have had while reading. Each connection must be explained in its own paragraph. Your journal must be at least a ½ page single spaced.  They must be in proper sentence and paragraph form and clearly show your thinking.  DUE: Friday, Oct. 14.  Below there is a link to a teacher sample that I wrote on the novel we are reading together in class, Harry Potter. All students were also given the project guidelines for their first book talk. This is to be signed by a parent/guardian.

8A & 8E- reading journal one was returned this week. Students need to get it signed. The first book talk of the year was assigned this week. There is a one page guideline sheet in all students' reader's notebooks. Students need to choose what book they are going to present on and have a draft done of their book talk by Friday, Oct. 14. Computer lab dates to work on their powerpoint are Oct. 17 & 19.
