11/5 in iowa, where it's also windy

You can't escape the wind. It's everywhere. I saw on the news this morning video of dust storms in Arizona, which of course are fed by wind. And then there is a new "possible sub tropical storm" (whatever that means) whirling around near the Bahamas. Wind is not limited to the Windy City, though we've sure had our share this winter fall.

Speaking of fall, FALL BACK this weekend! You get an extra hour of sleep! Enjoy it!

CW: We worked on Prompt #9: the character piece that was initially based on (glup) me. No specific HW...but I did note that Pete Ferry will likely speak to us on 11/29, so if you are going to read Travel Writing, you might want to buy it, oh, NOW.

E2CP: We finished up the major elements of our poetry unit and had a RW today. Next week is a week to focus on a new RW project and a poetry essay we will work on together.

E3H: The posters will serve as a foundation for final discussions of Asher Lev, which begin Monday (no WW). We'll be finished with that book by T or W and heading into assessment time! :-)

Have a nice weekend! (That is, if there is any "nice" left to spare after these two...)
