Test Day! I usually try NOT to give tests on Mondays...but sometimes there is no way around it. Today was the test over Tone, Theme, and Technique. It lasted the first half of the period. Afterwards, we all got our writing notebooks and comment sheets and got ready for Publishing Day. On Publishing Day we all go around and read each other's writing and make positive comments about what we've read. We did this for about 20 minutes before returning to our desks. After having a chance to read the comments written about our writing, we stapled the comment sheet to the page of writing and returned the writing notebooks to the bin.
What did you think of Publishing Day? Did you like? Hate it? Any other suggestions?
Reminder - The National English Honor Society information meeting was today. If you could not attend and would like to join, please stop by and ask me for an application. Applications and fees are due next Monday, 8/24.
As a teacher my wife should start doing this.
