Today we worked on the collaborative responses to Mr. Dickens. Block A worked in class and will publish tomorrow. Block C worked in the library. Block C must have their responses posted and ready for final editing tomorrow. Email me if you have lost the instruction sheet.
Please be prepared to discuss the wiki and how it could be used more effectively, efficiently etc.

The other assignments handed out were the common errors sheet with the paragraph on the back. Correct the errors on the sheet and rewrite the paragraph on a separate sheet. These will be marked on Wednesday.
The Blue boots assignment will likely be taken in on Wed. as well. The assignment is:

1. Summarize the story in 5-6 good sentences.
2. How does the author create suspense? Details? Descriptions?
3. Make a character description web.

You can try the online web tool at the link below or you can do your own on paper.
