Holy, Spoiler Alert, Batman!

First, I distributed the poem evaluation rubric.  Students are asked to submit one of their poems from Writer's Workshop on Monday November 5th,  to be marked.  You are permitted to choose from the following poems:

• poem about a thing
• memoir poem
• scar/broken bone/accident poem
• poem of who/what raised you

Then, I totally spoiled the ending to Lord of the Flies.  Like, totally.  I apologize a million times for this error.  I was trying to prepare the class for the fact that they will need to do dramatic presentations in a couple of weeks, once we've finished the book.  There... FYI: presentations to come.

Students were asked to read Chapters Seven and Eight, and to complete a character continuum for Monday.  A reminder that Mrs. Montabello will be teaching the class on Thursday, in Ms. Mac's classroom, next door.

Students will be writing in-class paragraphs on Monday.
