English I Honors students spent the day working on their final project for the short story/writing about literature unit. That will be due next Friday.

English 8 Strategies students actually did two different things today: first period worked on identifying subjects and predicates in our continuing first-quarter focus on the sentence as a basic element of writing. Seeing that some were having difficulty determining the main verb in a few sentences, I retooled the lesson during the planning period to back up a bit for fifth period and cover verbs first. We’ll get everyone back on the same page next Thursday.

Creative writing students continued getting used to the web site we will be using to publish our creative works and typing in their first final drafts.
