We had a good day today in LA. We took a little field trip to the Metaphor Museum and analyzed some interesting sentences. Many of them were quotes from Shakespearean plays. Others came from English poets. (Hey, everybody...what's a "fen?" What does it mean to be "wan?")
The 7th grade classes got a nice chunk of time for Writer's Workshop; the 8th grade classes were shorter today due to the Spanish schedule. Next week is our last week of Writer's Workshop for the quarter, so students who are behind on their memoirs and/or metaphor poem should be spending some time at home, either drafting or typing.
Tomorrow is going to be a great day for the teachers. We've got a "theme" day planned. Be on the lookout when you arrive; you'll surely notice ;c)
Fondly,
Mrs. V~
