We began class with our first Writer's Workshop. We created a "Map of our Heart"... basically a collection of ideas for writing. Students were asked to keep their hearts in their binders, for future reference when we begin our writing workshops.
Then, students wrote and talked in response to this question: Who/what influences the decisions young people make? A very fruitful discussion ensued, with many ideas about the kind of influence family, friends and peers might have on young people.
I handed out a copy of Lord of the Flies to each student and instructed them to not do any reading for homework. Because I don't want you to do any homework. But maybe I do....
