English 8 students conducted their first real Socratic Seminar today, discussing a couple of events from Nightjohn, the novel we’re about to finish.

Students were engaged, focused, and professional as they discussed the book.

It was a sight that brought a smile to my face.

English I students (most of them) took the PSAT today, so they were out for the entirety of fourth period and a good chunk of fifth period, so we did not accomplish all that much in English class.

Homework

• English 8: It’s the end of the quarter — are you kidding?
• English I Honors: It’s the end of the quarter — are you kidding?
