Tuesday's already behind us - here is the scoop on the week:
block one: working on night of the notables essay - this is in class for now, but ongoing out of class research would be great and finding a costume should be underway as well. look for ch. 8 wsh questions by tomorrow.

blocks 2 and 3: questions through ch. 25 were checked in class today - and we started work on our plot trees - for those students not going to the ch. 3 Q6 field trip, tomorrow will be a work day - trees, reading, night of the notables research, newspapers, etc... - for those that are going, they will need to finish their trees by monday. everyone has ch. 26 questions, reading of ch. 27, and a paragraph for ch.. 28 due on thursday. we will finish the reading of the book in class on thursday as well! discussion, an in-class writing, and the movie will follow next week. whew! and while we're at it....THINK SUN - THIS TEACHER HAS GROWN VERY TIRED ON THE GRAY DREARIES.

P.S. remind your students to keep up with the night of the notable research - the first due dates will come the end of this month and then things will move fairly quickly!
