Standard 12-03-2012

We started the QBTs today.  We saw a lot to give us ideas on what we need to do to make strong presentations.  Be sure you open your talk correctly and effectively.  Focus on what you learned.  Close appropriately.  Bring your book.  Bring your passion.  Here's the schedule for tomorrow.

Period Three                                 Period Four
Tyler Davis                                   Kate Barker
Savannah Scott                             Chase Tarwacki
                                                     Payton Woodworth

The nonfiction paper should be in class in rough draft form by 12-10-2012.  Get busy locating your other source.  Look on this site tomorrow for a couple intro examples.

Several of you nailed the gerund as subject right away today.  Great work.  After a short explanation, we all seemed to have figured it out.  I want to commend Rachel Lee and Sam Nicholas who took advantage of the verbals link on yesterday's blog. It sure does show you how well you know the material.  Go back and look at yesterday's blog to take advantage of it.  Participles tomorrow.

Our Night Word Wall is growing.  Nice job today adding to it.  Now you just need to make sure you are familiar with all the terms on the list.

We looked at a couple more pictures today.  Tomorrow, we'll be watching a short video excerpt from "The People Next Door", writing about it, and discussing it together.  It'll do a great job of setting us up for the book.
