Personal Narrative Sharing & a Potluck

Today we shared narratives and food in front of the "fire." Students who didn't get to go today will go Monday.

Happy End of the 3rd Quarter!

Narratives and Poetry

After a quick spring poem and some extra credit options, students had some time to wrap up their narrative work and practice for the presentations tomorrow.

Personal Narratives Due

Students had the day to wrap up personal narrative essays, and most did. Many then started annotating scripts for our final personal narrative reading and potluck on Friday.

The Revision Process Begins (or continues)

Today students submitted drafts to TurnItIN.com and then worked through the revision checklist assignment at Google Classroom.

Typing and Reflection

Most students finished typing the body of their personal narrative and drafted their reflective ending. There will be more revision and typing time tomorrow.
