Today we....
1. Finished our $1 summaries over the Shakespeare OGT essay. We learned that when you let yourself get "deeper" into the text, you learn much more and retain it better. Combine this with our visualizing exercise, and your OGT skills should definitely improve!
2. Completed a "Commas in Action" exercise. You can look forward to apostrophes on Monday!
3. We had our very own Poetry Slam! Some of you definitely suprised me. Check out this video we watched in class today:

Isn't it ironic....
Today in class we watched the movie version of Animal Farm by George Orwell. As a reward, some students chose to bring in their own snacks.
Logan decided that for viewing the movie, he was going to eat PORK RHINDS. For those of you that know the story of Animal Farm, I hope you enjoy the irony!
I sure did!
