"Unready to Wear" + writing journal responses

Happy Friday! You are on the verge of finishing your first week of high school - congratulations!

Today we'll start off by sharing the journal responses you wrote to "Unready to Wear." Listen to the different ways in which people wrote their responses. We'll make a list of these and then talk about elements of an excellent and effective journal response. I'll post this list on the blog for your reference.

For Tuesday you will be reading another story: "Report on the Barnhouse Effect." This time you will be annotating the story. Again, I'm not going to tell you what to do - I'm more interested to see the different ways in which you annotate. This means you should have a hard copy of the story with your annotations or find a way to do it electronically.

Lastly, I'll talk a bit about the STAR test for Monday and answer other questions about the class.

Have a great weekend!
