1. Disclosure Discussion
       
      Receive hall passes (Keep them, protect them, 
             put your name on each one!)

2. Create a nameplate for yourself or pick up your nameplate.   
  1. Pick up a piece of paper and a marker at the front of the room. 
  2. Fold a piece of blank white paper into thirds. 
  3. Write your first and last name as large as you can on one third so that it will show with the nameplate standing up.


3. Short Story:  "Seventh Grade" by Gary Soto
    Your job:  Listen and enjoy. 










Here I am with Gary Soto!








4. Six-Word Memoir   "I'll do it tomorrow.  I swear!"  
Ms. Dorsey: 
Teaching seventh graders is my fate.
You'll very often catch me reading.  
Tomatoes and chocolate, but not together. 

 Try out several on the back of the paper.  Choose one to place on the front.
These must make sense.  They must be phrases or sentences, and not just words that don't fit together.
