English/Lit 7
English - We finished our outlines for our Internet research paper. The outlines are looking good! I can't wait to start seeing the students create their rough drafts.
Literature - Due to the (unbelievably) high number of students out due to illness, we had time to catch those students up while spending some quality time reading. Students who were missing the "Dear Abby" letters had time on the computer to finish those. Other students who were missing assignments also had time to work. Many students enjoyed some quiet time reading as they explored a new novel. This day was treated like our Monday IMC reading days. Students could lose points by not choosing to do one of the activities stated above.
