Enriched 9-25-2012

Quick entry today, but it will pay off if you read on.  We took an acuity predictive test today.  We had some perfect scores (way to go Allison Riggs, Riley Smith, and Madelyn Busch), but we also saw that we have some work to do.  It was predictive, so we have a couple weeks now to do what we need to to raise those scores.  You'll be automatically assigned some Acuity At Home work in the next 24 hours, so be on the look out for that and complete it.  I'll be checking!

Thursday is going to be a busy day with the dog draft of the paper and the juxtaposition assignment coming in.  Friday is going to be book talk focused.  That leaves us Wednesday to fill.  We'll answer any book, paper, and acuity questions, but we will also have a notebook quiz tomorrow.  It will be over the semi-colon.  There are two ways to use it correctly that we discussed in class.  You'll show me those two ways by writing two sentences.  To make sure the sentences are not just memorized from your notes, you'll have to include the word "stapler" in both of your sentences.

In order to help us hit some more standards, we'll also be looking at one of my all time favorite poems tomorrow and discussing a little mood and figurative language. Are you ready for some jazz?
