We were interrupted once again to take the MAP test for reading. Afterwards, we completed a lesson where we identified turning points in Out of the Dust. We will use this lesson towards our final product as well, which we will finish putting together in the next few lessons.

Happy 2012!
Things will be different for the rest of this quarter... We'll be writing a lot in class, but there will not be homework unless you still need to work on you Q2 Independent Book Project. This means we'll be working hard in class, but you'll have time to relax at home and focus on other subjects - The Narrative of Frederick Douglass took a ton of your time, but you will be rewarded now. (Wasn't that the most powerful thing you've read so far in your LIFE?!)
As for today... we began reading Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse (pgs 1-33). This is easy reading, and we'll get through this book and the writing in 9 to 10 days if all goes well. If you are absent, you will need to check out a book from class and read what we read. Our first writing classwork consisted of finding evidence about Billie Jo (the main character) and how she uses "showing" in her writing.
