"Words are our most
inexhaustible source of magic."
-J.K. Rowling
Last week off was s-w-e-e-t! Hope you all enjoyed a little down-time with your families.
I finished grading our Literary Analysis work from Book Clubs over break. It was so rewarding to read everyone’s observations and original thinking about the books we enjoyed together. You students got it! Reading a book is far more about internalizing the text and making connections, than simply regurgitating the plot line in a succinct way. It’s one of the reasons I love to teach 7th grade; we make the leap early from elementary school to high school style writing and thinking. I was very proud to see my students embrace the practice and demonstrate it in their writing. Up next: Argumentative Writing Comments are closed.
