Boy, times does fly when you’re having fun!  We’re at the middle point of the first nine weeks of school.  These four weeks have flown by so quickly.  Our first project will be due October 10 (the Autobiography Project).  We’ve had to make some adjustments and do some rethinking of ideas, but we’re pressing on to completion.  In the coming weeks, we’ll be writing and publishing our final, perfect, polished pieces for this particular project.  I’m looking forward to getting to know you all much better through your writing about your heroes and your future life.

This week in class we began working on our first project for our English class.  Each student created a front and back cover for their project including a title page.  Wow, the creativity and imagination you all expressed!  The title page for each project looks great.  Students also completed page two of the Autobiography Project . . . Just the Basics.  Another great looking page to add to the project!  Monday, we’ll begin the process of outlining to gather and organize ideas for page three, the Hero essay.  I’m looking forward to writing this special essay with you all.
