Enriched 03-19-2013

After all that worry, the first performance task that I assessed earned an A.  Way to go Monesh Devireddy!   Now I know it'll be difficult to sustain that awesome percentage (100% As), but with time, thought, and careful analysis, success can be yours as well.

Speaking of success, I'd like to thank Julia Kwak, Emily Mack, and Maddie Busch for sharing their magnificent pieces of writing today from the Project Imaginat10n assignment.  All three of them offered well-focused scenes that were expertly developed.  They added minute details--details that some might consider superfluous--that instead added to solid development of settings, characters, and conflict.  The stories were awesome.

We'll be packing in a lot of classic debates over the next three days.  We need to complete them all by Friday since grades are due Monday.  Be ready to present.  Be ready to perform.  Be ready to WOW us!

Spring arrives Wednesday.  The end of the grading period arrives Thursday.  The end of the week arrives Friday.  Time for an Archer card opportunity: tell me what superfluous means, and I'll sign your card.  See you tomorrow.
