First and sixth periods continued with Monster. We used our graphic organizers to make some notes about probable guilt/innocence: first period’s notes are a little different than sixth period’s notes, but we’re reaching the same ends.
Second and fourth spent a final day outlining. I realized they needed a day with me there to answer questions, so we spent the time finishing up the outlines. Most are finished, but those who are not will need to finish for tomorrow.
Seventh period reviewed the work from my absence and made sure persuasive techniques are clear. Notes from seventh period are available here.

Same as yesterday.
But not the same as Monday!

Same as yesterday.
And tomorrow.

Same as yesterday.

If things went according to plan, it was much the same today as it was yesterday. Still, I wouldn’t know: I’m still out, hoping everything went well, with many other things on my mind as well.
In the meantime, enjoy another photo of our handsome, one-day-old son.

If all things went according to plans, first and sixth periods continued working on Monster while second and fourth periods had another day of research for the Great Expectations project and seventh period returned to work on their illustrated word-connotation semantic meaning charts.
That is, if all things went according to plans: being in the hospital with my wife and newborn son, though, I can only hope that’s what happened.

We’re all winding down all units:
No homework for anyone today.

We finished up our final day of PASS testing and moved back to regularly scheduled programming. Sixth period continued with Monster while first period began it. Second period had another day of research (before tomorrow’s final day). We also took a quick look at the Great Expectations Research Project Rubric
None.

Only fourth and seventh periods met today due to PASS testing. Fourth period students had another day of research — the next-to-last day — and seventh period took a bit of a break with a logic puzzle.
