outside the outsiders

Today we did all different things in each of my classes. Here is the rundown:

3/4 hour read chapters 10 and 11 and then we tried to get caught up on the summaries. If you are missing chapters, go to the podcast manager and listen to 7/8's summaries of chapters 1-8. After that we talked about grades. Progress reports are being mailed Tuesday and I don't want you guys to be surprised. We will finish the last chapter on Monday and then talk about the paper and start the movie.

5/6 hour finished the book! It was so fun seeing your faces! We also worked on the summaries and then talked about grades.

7/8 hour worked on the summaries and recorded some more of them. Then we talked about the poem and tried to figure out a picture representation of "Nothing Gold Can Stay". I ran out of time to talk about your grades, but I will share your printouts with you on Monday.

5/6 and 7/8 will start out Monday introducing the compare/contrast paper you guys will write for the film and the book. Then we will start watching it. You guys are going to love it!

Remember that the double-entry journals are due Tuesday and 7/8 hour has summaries for chapters 9-12 due Monday.
