There are only three seats left on the trip.
Period 1:
Literature Circles met and we explored the insides & outsides of our main characters.
We discussed the importance of reputations and whether it is easier to protect a good reputation or harder to lose a bad one.
Period 3:
Impromptu speeches. Students will be assigned various topics and asked to speak about them. Tomorrow: AWARDS!
Period 5:
Students will work on several writing activities and complete some editing.
Period 6:
Students will present their Three Cups of Tea presentation and will be completing research on their Kindness Project.
I will be conferencing with Ian & Kyle.
A point to ponder:
Do you think it is important to pay attention to what the writer does not say about a character? Why or why not? (5 bonus points on your next quiz for a thoughtful response)

Yes, I think it is important to pay attention to what the writer does not say about a character. The writers point of view of a character comes from what they perceive. For example, in “Three cups of Tea” Mortenson has direct contact with characters. If we pay attention to what those characters do or say we can learn more about them. For instance, characters who do not say a lot in a story are likely secluded individuals. If we pay attention that what they don’t say about a character then we can learn more about the intrinsic values of a character. Sometimes it’s not what you say that tells the most about you, it’s what you don’t.

Interesting response, Nate.
I think it is important that something is left to the reader's interpretation because it allows one to draw their own connections. What do you think?
