If you need to make up points for the composition book check (iWrites), see this post or pick up a handout:

Don't forget to record what you learn from your book about a character  -- from what that character says.  




2.  iWrite   Pet Peeves  -- September 17/18, 2012 
What drives you crazy? Is there something that a friend, relative, or classmate (or someone else) does that really aggravates you? What is it? Why do you think it bugs you so much?

Pair Share  1 minute/1 minute 

Here's a "Pet Peeve" from an expert on words:  
Brian P. Cleary
"Pet Peeve # 379: “I COULD care less.” So, does this mean that you care to some degree? You must, if you could actually care less than you do. If you don’t care at all, you should say, “I COULDN’T care less.”"
