Hopefully you read a lot this past weekend - after Mr. Goldstein's booktalks, how could you not?!

Today the Independent Reading Project for first quarter was explained. We then began the Literary Genres workshop in the Literature book. Students may have taken notes on vocabulary, or they can study them if they look on the class Edline page. We will have a quiz on this vocabulary and the rest from this week early next week. We then started our first writing lesson for the year - from the WEX narrative book - Introducing the Writers' Express (WEX). This should be a review for most of us, but a solid beginning for those who are new to TMS.

Homework:
* Read 20 min.
* Study vocabulary 5-10 min.
* Have an independent reading book by Friday.
* Novel Approval Form - due Monday, 9/12
