Tuesday

Shew! It's been a while since I blogged, and we have a lot going on in LA right now. Let me fill you in...(excuse my dangling preposition!)

7th grade classes--Today we reviewed point of view. We discussed 1st person and all of the 3rd person points of view and what they mean to readers. Students had a good 20-25 minutes of writer's workshop after our work with p.o.v. REMINDER: Book Talks begin on Friday. All students have their own personal due dates. Parents, please ask your students about theirs.

8th grade classes--We, too, worked with point of view. In this class we focused on the author's craft behind point of view and what it means when authors choose a particular voice for their narratives. Students who did not have enough time on their compare/contrast writing prompt last week had a good 20-25 minutes of writing time to improve their work.

Congrats to Gary B. who "knocked my socks off" today with his writing prompt!

Tomorrow--I'll share my Book Talk with you and show you the written model. You won't want to miss it :-)

Fondly,

Mrs. V~
