Small group discussions


Your discussions presented in class were great. Most of you offered very insightful comments. It shows me that you really understand what is important in the story. I love the way you made connections and offered your own opinions on the topics. Let me know what you thought of the task. If most of you liked it we can set it up again soon. It truly is a very meaningful activity.

Lots of work, little time


Wow! We don't have a lot of time left. So we really have to kick it up a notch. All of you will have to read the novel at hojme so you can finish it. In class we'll discuss the book, do some questions, and work on our final assignment. Remember, a brown bag or box similar to a shoe box is what you will need. Don't forget to check the wiki space to see what work has to be done.
Finally, our small group discussions will be presented in class all next week. Make sure you are ready!
