The Great [|Great Expectations Webpage Experiment]: This year we're collaborating with the 9th grade tech class to build a web-worthy web page. 1st semester set up the structure. Second semester we'll be adding content. KHJ

Independent Reading:
We're attempting to read one book each month for pleasure, filling out this one page report, and uploading our photos and comments from this report to the voicethread bookshelf. I like how this is working so far! KHJ



Reading:
We read Great Expectations all year long in 9th grade, in the spirit of Dickens' episodic original. This year, students are to look for four things as they read. Here's the chart we fill out each Monday after our quiz. I think students are retaining more, knowing what to look for.
