Curl Up With A Great Book

Monday brings a number of activities. Our first writing packets are due, complete with first drafts (with evidence of conferencing), second drafts (with evidence of conferencing), third drafts, and a letter we'll write in class. I am anxious to read your work. We are also starting To Kill A Mockingbird tomorrow, and I'll be handing out a reading schedule so that you can know ahead of each class exactly what chapters we'll be discussing. This might enable those of you with busy schedules to plan ahead! You might be curious about the title of the book, so in case you are wondering what a mockingbird looks like, this is a picture of one.

I'm also looking forward to reading over your responses to the Reader's Digest article on manners, especially your practice weblog post. If time permits tomorrow, we'll also practice commenting.

It's a busy week. Rest up. We're starting my favorite book.
