Wednesday It must be Writing Day

My classes write every Wednesday. The topic in my morning class included a summary of movie, Tuck Everlasting. One paragraph was to be about the plot. Another was to be about the characterizations and the third was to be about the theme or message.
The first period class could only write about the plot. Second could write a little about the plot. They tried some to get to the characterizations and the theme was a lot more difficult.

The afternoon classes have been watching a movie about a mythical discovery of the dragons in the 14th century frozen in time to modern era and then pieced together. The afternoon classes wrote 6 things they saw in the movie about the dragons. It was easy for a few of them much more difficult for many of them. Organizing the writing process is probably the main benefit from the Wednesday writing. It also gives me something consistent to grade and enter in the grade book each week.

Thanks to Kelly for highlighting my blog in hers. She also sent some oranges to a niece in San Diego which shows up nicely on her blog. We love those neices!
Sue and I are slowly getting things together at this side. The computer is up and therefore I was able to charge my ipod. It was also nice to get back to my podcasts.We put together a bathroom storage unit with a glass door and two drawers yesterday. It was a Loews kit. Medium in difficulty. They actually sorted out all of the screws and mounted them on a paper scrap with their size. This is a first for kits for me. Getting three sides together and square enough for the drawers to work is a difficult assignment.

This afternoon it has been blustery and getting a little colder too.

Hope you had a great Wednesday.
