Compare-and-Contrast Timed Write

We are about half way done with the second grading period, and nearing the second benchmark for the semester. This unit's benchmark is a compare-and-contrast essay. In preparation for that benchmark, which will take up most of next week, students wrote a timed-write today comparing any two characters or ideas that we have discussed so far in our unit, "Rules vs. Relationships." The remainder of the time was spent finishing a poster for The Pigman that we had started on Tuesday.

Tomorrow, we will finish up the story, "Unfinished Business," and students will be typing their Timed-Writes.

There is no new homework for tomorrow.
