All students went to the book fair today — always an enjoyable little break from the ordinary.
English 8 (Fifth and Sixth Periods)
Afterward, English 8 students began the new unit. We’ll be readingย Nightjohn, and we began using the “It Says/I Say” during-reading engagement in class.

We’ll be finishing up the chapter tomorrow, moving slowly toward more independence with the “It Says/I Say” engagement.
English I (Third and Fourth Periods)
After the book fair, students worked on their most ambitious and complicated analytic paragraph to date, combining symbolism and irony into one single analysis:
