Housekeeping: 

- I have added a new topic to the GC called: "Rubrics".  As the name suggests, it is a storehouse for current and past rubrics should you lose yours. 

- Book talks are due before the break.  This is what we have done so far: hook, background, listed possible points, context/commentary, and text to text connection.  Students should be re-reading their novels and selecting their points.  By "points", I mean they should be deciding "reasons for reading the novel"

- We are doing Secret Santa in our class.  If you want to make a gift, go for it!  You can even make a card and write a kind message.  If you wish to purchase a gift, the maximum is $10.00.

- We will be increasing our reading at home over the second term, so start looking around for good books to read!
