If you're a TV fan (like me!), you might realize what a total FAIL the once-proud NBC has become lately. One possible reason is network president Jeff Zucker, who seems to have made a whole slew of absolutely awful decisions in his tenure. Well, NBC announced that, when its takeover by Comcast is finalized, Zucker would be gone, and last night on Jimmy Fallon, the host showed this video of Zucker making fun of his own dismissal:
Your notes about classes follow:
E3H: So the Great Juggling Act begins:
- We have Writing Workshop, in which you currently have a metapoem but soon will have much, much more; this is sort of a default HW assignment whenever there is less than normal to do. Like Reading Workshop, it is individually assigned and carried out but always hanging around your plate.
- Speaking of Reading Workshop, this is most decidedly not a once a month activity. (Finished that September book yet? Why not? September's just about finished!) Your guaranteed RW day is coming up: second Friday of the month.
- Journals are always there as well, and you should be writing in them at least somewhere in the mid-teens per week. (Right?) :-)
- And then there is Shared Literature, which at the moment means the class metapoems on the boards but soon will also mean My Name Is Asher Lev.
Feel as if you should join Cirque Du Soleil yet?
E2CP: Finish the play by tomorrow and BUY Our Town!
CW: Journal Challenge #1: Life drawings. By Monday, capture as many chanracters as you can in your journals via Life Drawings as possible. Life Drawing = short 1-2 paragraph 3rd p description of a person who strikes you as odd, interesting, unusual, etc.
And finally, (and I do mean finally!!!) here is Green Day one more time:
(BTW: Don't miss tomorrow's journal time, when you'll discover why the school year is almost over!)
