Homework
1) Finish R.A.R.D (Random Autobiography Rough Draft)

Today in class we started off by reading our poems, we added a new poem called "Lodged" by Robert Frost to our repertoire. After that we went over Roberto's First Blog, then Ms.Witham went over what made a good productive group. There were a lot of hand signals and what not but I didn't really hear anything because I was typing this blog. When Ms.Witham finished talking about being a good productive group she went over the R.A. (Random Autobiography). She had a few plain sentences and said that instead of leaving them plain we should add some more details to our sentences. So Ms.Witham gave us some time to do some silent work (with a pen for correcting) on our R.A. so that we could add details.

When we were finished with our work some of the students in the class shared some of the revisions they made with the class. After that we continued our "Save The Last Word" work where we shared our favorite Dialectic Journal from I Am Malala with our group and heard their responses.

Then the class was dismissed.
