Wednesday - March 9, 2011


For those few skeptics in class who didn't believe me, here is the Hawley trampoline video, as promised.  :-) 

1st Per - Both students gone.  Would have been a day to work on the narrative poems due this Friday. 

2nd Per - We went to the New York Times Book review section to look at some book reviews.  Remember, it's not about regurgitating the book yet again.  It's about discussing the pros and cons of the book and why it was good or why it wasn't.  The biography is the place to summarize the book.

3rd Per - PAWS testing examples - both good and bad.  Long and boring, I know, but it's got to be done.  Journal, vocab, and spelling for week 9 were due today. 

4th Per - same as 3rd today.

5th Per - Read John Milton's short poem "When I consider how my life is spent"  on page 364.  Then on a separate sheet of paper, put your philosopher's cap on and decode the poem.  What is he saying here?  After you decode it, and on the same paper, please write an informal response on opportunities you hope you won't have missed in 10 years time.  It's kind of the opposite of a "Carpe Diem" poem.  Instead of lamenting on opportunities lost, describe what you hope your life will be like in 10 years from now.  What do you hope to have accomplished?  If you knew that in 10 years, X would happen to you, what would you do about it now?  Philosophical musing are highly encouraged here.  This should probably be about 1 - 2 pages typed.

6th Per - Paws Testing review.  We looked at good vs. bad answers and how they were scored.  We also went over the PAWS testing schedule for each section in each class. 

Here is the testing schedule sent out by Mrs. Williams.

Formatting may be off considerably!
