Welcome to the big bad world of blogging!

Hello everyone and welcome to our classroom blog. This blog will serve as a weekly online journal entry. It will be a way to earn points for Language Arts class but SO much more. It will be a way for you to get your voice out there! Every week there will be a discussion topic/question posted by yours truly and it will be your job to respond. Your response may be in direct relation to the topic or may be a comment about another student's response. The topics will vary but your job will remain the same. Respond to the topic in as much detail as you find necessary and in as genuine a matter as possible!

In order to receive the credit you justly deserve, when you post make sure your full name is listed.
Happy Blogging.

Blog #7 week of 10/22-10/26

BLOCK 1/2 ONLY

As we come to the closing of our Reader's Workshop unit, discuss what you have liked about it and disliked. Tell me your favorite book, you opinion on lit circles and what you would have liked done differently. Tell me if you liked the CHOICE aspect of this unit or if you would have rather read a book as a class. Did you think we did too much "busy work" so that it took away from the pleasure of reading, or was it an okay amount?  Try to answer all the above questions. Happy blogging!

Blog #5 oct 8-12

Blog #5 1/2 ONLY

As we start the unit on the 13 colonies, you need to start thinking about the short story you will be writing. You will take a fictional character and drop them into a colonial setting. Will your story be about a runaway slave? Will your story be about a Native American battle in the colony of Virginia? Will your story have a little witch trials in it or a love story? Will you be writing an action-adventure or a comedy? What types of stories are you drawn to? I want you to use this blog as a pre-pre-pre brainstorm of sorts. Start thinking about your short story and what you may want to write about and list some ideas or start a brainstorm here.

As always, a minimum of 2 sentences please!
