- We continued reading through the novel together, with me reading aloud. Some students, I can see, read at a faster pace on their own and then start their questions before the rest are finished listening. This is fine. It’s important, though, that those listening do follow along in the book because the combination of listening and reading will help improve both of those skills for them.
- Once we had finished reading the chapter and discussing the main parts, they wrote down a chapter summary sentence on their question sheets and they were asked to answer their questions individually.

- Today, students used the class to develop their fantasy creature, the next assignment they’re working on. This is technically period 2 of 2 to work on it. While yesterday they actually finished their “The Raven” questions before starting their creatures, those Raven questions were to be done as homework. Since they all skipped doing that homework over the weekend (to pay me back for using our Friday class as study time for another class) they basically lost the work period 1 of 2. This doesn’t mean their deadline is looming in any way – they’ll still have plenty of time to work on it, just on their own time.
