The Week in Review

At the end of our first full week together, we should now be committed to reading every night for a minimum of 100 pages a week, and after visiting the library, trading books, and sharing passages, we should also have settled on our book choices. You'll need to look over the book response choices for first quarter and set a goal for the book responses you have chosen and the books you will be reading.
Tomorrow you will have a chance to turn in your portfolio work and to report your goals. We'll be traveling to the mobile laptop lab room to take the SRI and to investigate this web log. You'll need your sign in password and some patience!

I am heartened at your enthusiasm over your books and your readiness to share passages. It will become even more interesting when we begin to share responses in the next few weeks.

Here's an idea for thought and free writing: If you could design your own school and your own individual education program, what would it look like? What would you study and how, and how would you stay motivated?
