the group novels

not yours....the other ones...which one seemed the most interesting to you ...and why

group novels blog

you are responsible for five blog entries (one for each section of the book) by tuesday nov 24

not a blog but,....

by the end of class, you group should have a your script written out and a copy printed for each member (and one for the teacher) ....use the format of Odd Jobs (0n pg 49 of Language and Writing)....that means...a title, stage directions, character names in capital letters (followed by a colon) and then the dialogue
remember to include stage directions (in brackets and italics) as you work through your script

Hand in one copy by the end of class....I look forward to them

reminder of book club meeting #2 on Monday

class blog #13

mid-term reflect.....given that you are now a wise veteran of high school life, what advice would you give grade 8s about adjusting to life at IDCI? Explain.

your group novel...blogs 1 and 2

in addition to the class blogs, you are also responsible for 2 group novel blogs (the first 2/5 of your book)....same format as ind novel...the ideal is for you to share your thoughts/observations/feelings about the book...if you are stuck for words, refer to earlier guide for ind novel and use some of the suggestions there to guide your writing

(remember to limit plot summary and focus on deeper anlaysis)
