Friendly Updates :)

A couple things...

Happy National Novel Writing Month!! I am SO excited to see what marvelous pieces of work you come up with! In case you forget the link: ywp.nanowrimo.org - remember, do not worry about the grammar, spelling, etc. just WRITE!! (better known as: "bleh") Write every night, as much as you possibly can, and we will upload word counts into your nanowrimo accounts. READY!??! BREAK!!!

By the way, you do not actually do the writing on the website - it is more there for you to be able organize your word count and be there as a resource for tips and motivation!!! Not that you need any... :)

Also, if you look on my blog page to the right, you can click on a link called "del.icio.us" - this is where you can find all the links/bookmarks I have saved, and also where you can find all of your individual blog addresses organized in one place.

Friday, November 2nd, we are going to be doing a Socratic Seminar on the two readings from Wednesday - both John Winthrop's "A Model of Christian Charity," and William Bradford's "The Pilgrims' Landing and First Winter." Your essential questions for the seminar are:
--> Did the Puritan lifestyle impact our society today?

Couple more things:
1) INTERNSHIP PACKETS ARE DUE FRIDAY!!
2) Your Huck Finn and Vocab images are due TODAY!!!
3) Your short story/poem for the quilt is due MONDAY!!! (If you want me to look over it, feel free to come to me AFTER you have self-revised and gone over it yourself a few times)

Thanks for being so inspiring! :)
