Students should have been taking notes and answering the questions from pages R8-R13 in the Literature books. You may take notes in whatever format is most comfortable for you, but all questions should be answered in complete sentences. I will check for this tomorrow with my B day students.
No homework for tonight, other than the reading log (unless you haven't finished the text structures notes, above). Please check the previous post for a the reading log (an image that you should be able to copy and paste into Word or Paint).
Progress Report grades are being pulled today. As I continue to grade papers, the grades will change and will most likely be different from the grade you will see on the official progress report. I have not entered in very many zeroes for missing assignments. Don't panic if you are not happy with the printed grade! However, do know that, even though there aren't many grades in the gradebook right now, if you have a low grade it is because you have not turned items in OR you have turned in items that are incomplete. Keep that in mind as we continue through the rest of the quarter. When I get this batch of papers graded, I will print unofficial progress reports for everyone.

Homework for the weekend and reading log
B day (except 7B) - Don't forget that your take home tests on The Giver are due tomorrow! Tomorrow, you will also receive some pages from our workbooks to work on and to finish at home if you don't finish in class. Make sure those are completed over the weekend and turned in to me on Tuesday.
A day students - Today you worked on the "Super Croc" article from our workbooks. Please make sure you complete that over the weekend and bring it back on Monday.
I have still not printed any reading logs because I do not have enough paper! I have added an image of the reading log below. If you copy and paste the log to a word file or to paint, you should be able to enlarge it and print it from there.
