6/7 L.A. We are really focusing on being organized. Students are earning 2 points for writing assignments in their planner and getting a parent to look at the assignment and initial it. I hope this will improve homework return, if parents are aware of the homework assignment.
Students are currently writing in their planner everyday, so the couple points they could earn each day could make a huge difference in their grade.
Today we worked on ideas for creating an introduction paragraph and then outlined the paragraph. This is due Tuesday.
8th L.A. Today the 8th graders took home the blog note to parents, it is worth 5 points for a parent to sign it saying they received the note. Students also had the opportunity to log onto the blog and follow the link to Mr. Baribaults blog. The link is on this page.
We also discussed the film, "October Sky" and the three possible heros. Students chose their character, they will write an essay and then participate in a debate. We talked about how the paper and debate should be graded.
