well, that happened

Yes, it is the day after the devastating attack of Snowzilla and we have all managed to survive.  After the unprecedented two consecutive snow days, we are back and purring along.  Of course, if I had half a brain I might have realized that I could have had my E3H classes talking about the bloodly book while I was interviewing them today, but that is another matter.  No one ever said I had half a brain.

So, entering the weekend, here we stand:

Drama: You are deep into your Observation Game.  Also, we still need to bring in a parent next week.  But monologues will be due Monday.  Also: in journals this weekend: three (or more) examples of acting in real life.

E2CP:  WW on Monday.  Finish reading Death of a Salesman for Wednesday.

E3H:  7th period registers Monday; 1st Period registers Tuesday.  We will have Writing Workshop on the opposite day.  On registration day, there will be small group discussions on Portrait for those not registering at the time.  (Yes, I learn my lesson.)  For Wednesday: Online discussions in many different categories including 3 old ones (journals, backwards/forwards, and connections) and 4 new ones.  My expectations are HIGH.  I am looking for at least 6 posts EACH from you, spread out over at least 3 categories.  And though I do want conversations, I also want you to spread this out: look to categories where little has been written over categories where there are already ten entries, though you may join those conversations as well.

SNOWZILLA!!!!



HE'S HERE!  THE CREATURE FROM THE SOUTH WHO HAS COME TO DEVOUR THE NORTH!
BEWARE ONE AND ALL THE WRATH OF...
SNOWZILLA!
Yeah...anyway...


Let's examine today, shall we?


In 3H, we learned about all of the great electives you get to choose from for next year.  Bring your elective registration forms with you Thursday; we'll meet for about 2 minutes each to discuss your selections.  The next day, we shall return to Portrait.


In 2CP, we held a fishbowl writers' group in which I tried to help a group model what ought to happen while conferencing a piece.  I have no clue how successful I was; you'll have to tell me that.  But anyway...your assignment from last week stands: finish DOAS for our next meeting.  And yes: there will be a quiz.


In Drama, we practiced the monologues, which need to be memorized for performance on Thursday.


And here's a little something about the topic of the day from the Red Hot Chili Peppers:
