Language Arts:
  Today we completed a Grammar review exercise in our Black & White notebooks.
We created Journal entry #11 (Harvard) #12 (Yale & Princeton) -- Self-evaluation.  We evaluated our progress in our class, set some goals, and listed some steps we can take to improve our grades or keep the high grades we've earned.   Test papers were returned for parent signatures tomorrow eve.
  Literature Circles met and discussed chapters 24 & 25.  Students took a quiz on either 24 or 25.
We began reading Chapter 26 together in class.

Homework:
Test corrections on Simple Solutions Test #5 due Thursday
Retakes must be taken by Friday afterschool.

Work on Hunger Games project due Friday 10/17.

Due tomorrow:  the Luminating Lines -- quotes from the chapters in The Hunger Games (you need 10 to 20 quotes; include page #)

Work on Purple Journal -- make sure all entries are completed & thought out.  Easy way to boost your grade when collected -- it counts as an assessment grade.
