Friday Feb 22

Today we finished off in class presentations. If you have not yet completed your presentation, you need to sit and conference with the teacher as to when we can get it done.

We did also talk about due date and that students will be asked to show a draft version of their Task 3 Pieces of Writing on Monday. Final copy is not due until Wednesday.

We started the unit on A Long Way Gone (ALWG) by Ishmael Beah. I plan on reading every day and asking questions of my students to write about every day of this unit. I have posted the due date on the right-hand side of this blog and on the portable wall.

We did read to page 13 of the text together. During that time, two classics of awesome hip hop were mentioned in the text. Here they are for your enjoyment:
