Writing Piece due: Friday, Nov. 29th

Students have been working on either a free choice writing piece, "If I had Three Wishes" writing piece or one from a list of prompts.  A rough and good copy are due this Friday.  We have done mini-lessons to help us with editing for the six traits of writing.  It is kept in their portfolios but you may see it this week if students don't finish in class time or student enhancement time.

Due Date Extended for "The Cage" project #2 - Nov. 18th

Students of 8A and 8B will have a couple of extra days to work on their UDL projects.  Monday, Nov. 18th is the new due date.  Ample class time has been given so students should not have much (if any) work to do at home.  I have provided most supplies for models but students will have to bake/cook some of their projects at home (if they've chosen that option).  Just a reminder that Harkins is a nut free school.  I think the students have enjoyed this project!  I can't wait to see all of the finished products on Monday.
