English 8 Strategies students continued their week-long peer conferencing work. We finished the practice today and tomorrow will turn to actual peer conferencing.

Fourth period English I Honors students began their first Lord of the Flies writing assignment, connecting Maslow’s hierarchy to the first two chapters of the novel. Sixth period English I Honors students did divided work: those who completed the reading for the day began work on the trustworthiness of the narrator while the others read, consequently falling behind a bit.
