Scribe 10-31-12
Today we......
Finished our presentations (Montag: Zack and David/ Firemen: Sophie and Erina)
We talked about our class essay and some people did great and some people really struggled. If you did struggle you are supposed to make a writing conference with Mrs. Smith about how to improve your writing. You should note that if you did not attach your whole in-class essay outline then you were automatically docked 20 points. When you get to class tomorrow make sure you have that outline so you get those 20 points back.
Got our in-class essay back.
Homework......
Banned Book Project
Writing Conferences
SAT Work

Scribe Period 5 10/29/12
Today in class, we had a substitute teacher.
We turned in our SAT Vocabulary Lesson 7 exercises and took the quiz (word, part of speech, definition, and put it into an original sentence).
After that, we had time to independently work on our banned book project (finding documented proof of why your book is banned and do you agree with the reasoning, storyboarding out ideas for your movie trailer, editing, etc.)
Here are some helpful websites for creating your trailer:

http://www.ehow.com/how_4491963_make-book-trailer.html
For the final few minutes, we reviewed the new SAT Vocabulary Lesson 8 words.
Here's the link for how to submit your entire banned book project to Smith. (We didn't talk about this in class since we had a sub, so we might go over it later with Smith)
