Happy 2015, Class of 2015!

Monday, 1/5/15
Today we created a journal entry in our purple journal.
"The stories I could write..."  We bullet pointed 20 different topics of stories we could write from personal experience.

Princeton read "The Secret" and together we created a summary of the article remembering to use the title, author & a lead.
Yale retold the story, "The Secret" and together created a summary.
Harvard worked on a summary of the article & compared it to those generated.

All sections corrected their Simple Solutions Test #9.
Graded papers were handed back and missing assignment sheets were passed around.  Any missing from 12/15 to 12/19 are due by Friday 1/9 for partial credit.

Homework:
Simple Solutions Test #9 corrections;  copies of the test correction sheet were handed out, but the master is available on my staff page.
Book reports due Wednesday 1/7/15.
Drafts of the Genealogy biography & sketch of the illustration with information are due on Friday 1/9/15.
Take some time to study your notes; review flash cards.
