Bell-Ringer/Self-Starter: Pick up your composition book. In the middle section "Notes and Quick Writes" -- right after the plot line diagram -- label the page with date and title: 9/2/11 "Insiders and Outsiders?" Write for about a half page or so on this question: "Have you ever felt like an outsider, someone who didn't fit in somewhere? When and where?" and/or "Do we have insiders and outsiders at our school, or did you at your elementary school? Who were they? (not specific names, but types of people)
(If you were absent and do not have the plot diagram, copy it from the back white board if it's still there, or copy it from a classmate, or you can copy it from the class blog.)
Important: Have you signed up for your book-of-the-month book? Ask for the list for your class.
See more information about the Book-of-the-Month Assignment on the tab above labeled Book-of-the-Month.
Spelling Test: Take the test on the names of your teachers, your counselor and the administration.
There will be a retake available after two weeks during Cave Time.
Read from The Outsiders and take some notes on exposition.
