Tuesday and Thursday, 2,4 February

Children's Book Unit
On Tuesday writers got back work from 1st semester. Memoirs will be delivered by Karen Karbo next week.

Writers filled out evaluations for Writers in the Schools.

Writers wrote about children.

Thursday writers were to bring a book for children into class.

Class began with classic children's music, and Good Night Moon.

Writers wrote about a memory of reading to someone or of being read to. Writers shared. Then writers made a list of the attributes and qualities of children.

We then had milk and cookies and read to each other.

Writers should bring their favorite children's books to class on Friday. They should find a child to read to by Monday (if possible).

Some classes began analyzing the attributes of writing for children.
