We got to meet today because Mitch was busy with other things. We had a great time writing short specific stories from Mexico. It was super fun hearing about the poop fights, the customs officer, the scorpion, Christian's cuddling, the poisonous tree, the soccer games, the card games, sleeping in and waking up to music. We all loved Evan's hilarious story about defeating the centipede with a paper cup. I'm thinking we should turn these into a book of Mexico memories because they were all such a joy to hear.
A few reminders we went over:
1. Philosophy is due on Wednesday. You are to write about whether or not Philosophy should be taught in school. I would like you to look at the comments I wrote to you on your chapter 8 and make sure you address those deltas.
2. Senior Page! Aster handed out the requirements. She's looking forward to getting those back to you soon. Feel free to look at old yearbooks in the main office for inspiration.
3. Don't forget your Lit Circle work due tomorrow!
See ya,
emma

Guidelines for Book Review Assignments
(due every other Thursday, beginning Feb. 4)
1. Your review must be on a book that you have read within the last six months.
2. Every OTHER review may be on a graphic novel.
3. Your review must be at least two paragraphs long, and may be longer.
4. Each paragraph must be 5-8 sentences.
5. Review must contain enough of a summary so that someone who is reading your review, but knows nothing about the book, will get a good sense of what the book is about. However, it should not be all summary; a review is mostly your opinion of the book.
6. Don't just state your opinion- explain WHY you feel the way you feel about the book.
See the link below for some examples:
