Retakes (and Make-Up for those who were absent ) for  the Commonly Confused Words Test  will be available Tuesday and Thursday during Cave Time.

1. Write to this prompt in your composition book (if your class hasn't already):

Composition book prompt (already done by B4, A2,    )

Under writing, record today's date, then answer the question, "What do you want to see and experience and accomplish during your life?"  
Johnny says on page 121, "I don't want to die now.  It ain't long enough.  Sixteen years ain't long enough.  I wouldn't mind it so much if there wasn't so much stuff I ain't done yet and so many things I ain't seen.  It's not fair."  So what do you want to see and experience and accomplish before you die?
2.  When you've finished writing, to the prompt, read from your  
October Book-of-the-Month.  


3.  Check composition books 

4. The Outsiders  (reserve 25 minutes for video) 
     B1/A1- 9:05,  B2/A2 - 10:30,  B4/A4 - 1:20 

 

(Maybe -- capitalization?)

Students watched the rest of the video of The Outsiders, and filled out a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the movie and book. Students also wrote a brief review of the movie.

Term grades for all classes will be sent home next Friday.

Students finished handing in work today for Term 1. Next term I will strictly adhere to my policy (see the disclosure document), and no late work will be accepted after the deadline -- about one week before the end of the term.

Students had the opportunity to present their projects if they haven't. Students had the opportunity to finish up late or incomplete work.

We played a capitalization game.

We started watching the movie of The Outsiders. Where we left off, Ponyboy and Johnny have just arrived at the abandoned church at Windrixville.
