Today was the first day of the new and final marking period for the school year. It is hard to believe. The writing students are working on persuasive essays evaluating the issue of truancy. It is a topic that has produced many strong and thoughtful opinions. Students differ on whether it is a problem that affects them personally. I am very proud of all of them. Hopefully, we will post some of the essays here when they are finished.
Along the same lines, the literature class interpreted a poem today called "Refugee Blues" by WH Auden. They did an amazing job of deconstructing it, especially Kyla. The lesson plan for the day was posted yesterday.
Please email me your photos, poems, writings, etc for this blog. You can contact me by posting a comment. We are all learning this together. The first five people who leave a comment will earn 2 extra credit points.
