Essays & RR5

Essays:
Most students started drafting their silent film essays today, and are making excellent progress! If your essay planner is overdue, it MUST be finished by tomorrow, so you don't fall further behind. I think we should be able to finish the first drafts of our essays by the end of the week. Final edits and revisions will be made next week.

Reading Response 5:
RR5 should now be complete (art pieces are due tomorrow). Due to our upcoming field trips and track and field day, we will not be able to complete classroom presentations. Instead, I have asked all students to include a photograph of their art piece and 3-5 sentences explaining how their piece illustrates their novel's theme(s) at the bottom of their written work. Class time was provided for this work today, but some students may need to photograph their art pieces at home after they have competed them.
