February 6

WNB: Choose one to respond to in your notebook: "A stumble may prevent a fall" or "Better to light a candle than curse the darkness."

Students were reminded to turn in the American Teenager assignment on Classroom.

I passed back scored rubrics for the One Pager assignment. Students who have questions about this grade should see me during A block Wednesday. I also passed back scored rubrics to students who completed book talks yesterday.

Students continued sharing favorite books. Today's titles: It; The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; Out of My Mind; Cinder (twice today: 1st and 4th periods!); The Sun Is Also a Star; Origin; The Martian Chronicles; Everything, Everything; The Merciless; Night; UnWholly; Nerve; The Killing Zone; Throne of Glass; My Life Next Door; and Six of Crows

We took notes over the TWISTT literary analysis strategy, and students received a packet of literary terms. We read and began discussing an excerpt from Anderson Cooper's Dispatches from the Edge. We will continue this work tomorrow!
