First period began planning their memoir. I provided an example and discussed how to use the tool (a graphic organizer available here).

Second and sixth period began a review of the elements of plot as we read Nightjohn. We’ve stopped right in the middle of the climax, much to everyone’s irritation.

Fourth period went over the project: a board game covering the adventures of Odysseus.
