Today's class started off like any other day, with scholars talking to each other and some We started off the day with our poem, as we do everyday. This time, Ms. Witham wanted us to emphasize our words in"We Wear the Mask" to make the poem stronger. We also introduced a new poem titled "The Eagle" by Alfred Lord Tennyson. After we read both poems, it was time to read the blog and select the next blogger, which ended up to be me.

Once we were done with our daily routine, Ms. Witham explained what we were going to do for the rest of class. With our literature circle groups, we started the final project which consists of two illustrations and plot rollercoasters. there is also an illustration to have as the cover of the project. Each scholar in a group must have a dialectic journal to add to the project. When Ms. Witham completed giving scholars directions, everyone rushed to the Student Resource Center to grab sheets of paper to start the project.

After scholars settled who has what role, Ms. Witham started to explain what was going on after school during Parent Conferences. Scholars are to bring their notebooks to the conference so that parents can see their progress. We topped off the day with Writing Workshop for students who need time to start or finish their Autobiographical Narrative in a quiet place. Scholars were also able to make progress in their books.
