Today:
1) We reviewed aspects of plot, character, and theme from the beginning of the year.

3) You peer-conferenced.
4) You worked independently.
5) We had 4 people come up and model their genres, explain their intentions, and explain how their work showed the different meanings from their books. Creative! Informative! Impressive specific connections to your books... certainly original :) Bravo!
Missed class? See me before next class. You should be around Genre #7.
