 * Monday:**

NBTA Day - NO SCHOOL for STUDENTS!


 * Tuesday:**

Today we discussed how you might go about writing or editing a wikipedia article. Here are directions for you, if you'd like to tackle this: [] If you decide to do this as one of your pieces for your multi-genre writing, ensure that you make very clear the difference between what you've written and the content already on wikipedia.


 * Wednesday:**

Today's class was mostly a work period. You should have a reader's journal for today, this being your 4th (or 3rd if you're in period 2). I'm attaching again the outline for our Multi-Genre Project, in case you've misplaced yours.


 * Thursday:**

Today we looked at fables. Here are some notes from the class:

Here is a link to Aesop's Fables. [] Scroll down the list and you'll find "The Ant and The Chrysalis", the fable we read in class today.


 * Friday:**

Today, we finished hearing the short text presentations and having those discussions. Anyone who hasn't presented up to this point, you'll need to remind me when you're ready to do so.

Also, we wrote our 5th Reader's Journal. I'll be collecting these on the 17th, next Tuesday. Use your class time, and don't let these little journals pile up on you.
