January 7

Mrs. Morris was in today.

English 10 (C & D blocks)

Today students were given the rubric for their partner essay.  They were then directed to type up their essays in the library making sure to do the edits suggested on their rough drafts.  They were also reminded to use their rubrics to tweak their essays and underline some examples of transition words.  Students self-assessed and handed in their outlines, drafts, final and self-assessment at the end of the class. 

Humanities 8

Today students started with sacred drawing time.  Students were asked to draw two of the literary devices they have written in their folders.  Literary devices are often ways which help the reader visualize the topic, comparison, point etc.  Students were asked to make the link by taking the words and turning them into illustrations.  For the remainder of the class, students worked on their poetry anthologies.
