Students began a personal commentary novel study  on Friday, December 3. This novel study involves meeting with literature circles (much like a book club). Literature circles will meet on the following dates: 12/3, 12/6 or 7, 12/10, 12/14, 12/17, 1/7, 1/11, and 1/14. Each student should complete the reading and his/her assigned role for each meeting. Each lit circle will complete a group reading project (guidelines are posted on the "Independent Reading" page).  

Each student is completing a scrapbook of persuasive techniques, due December 10th. Descriptions of the techniques can be found in the Language of Persuasion Notes file at the bottom of the "Classnotes" page. Each student will need to submit a copy of the rubric with his/her project.
