Whatever Wednesday-----It's the end of Marking Period One.

Nice job, everyone, on all the blog comments.  It was good to see you all took this new experience seriously.  I saw many great ideas for both reading and writing coming from each of you who shared.

Take a break from commenting for this long weekend.  You can look forward to more topics next week as we find new avenues to explore in Integrated Language Arts. 

Monday we will visit the library for our yearly book fair and also so you can choose your new free reading book.  Read the book jackets and search for a book with an interesting setting and characters who are able to deal with conflict.

You will have a challenging project at the end of marking period two. This will be another chance to showcase your many talents.

  4. Fiction,, Caitlyn. Make sure your book as an interesting setting and a character who faces conflict. Your project will require acting, art work, and writing.

  8. I found Peter Laird, there were a lot of results though =/. Any one hear of Laird Plastic?

    Anyway, Peter was a comic book artist/ writer. He is widely known for co-creating the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The first comic had 3000 copies and really big pictures! He started out getting payed $10 an ilustration for a local newspaper.

    That is what i found, dont wanna search any more right now, ill search later. (I dont have my Ipod to auto-correct me atm.)

    NOw, should I read Narnia or Harry Potter???

    btw, Its Andrew!
