English 8

Composing memoirs and letters has been the primary focus for the first week of October. Students are focusing on avoiding ‘level one’ type thinking and writing. Instead students have been working on analyzing and evaluating their memoir worthy experiences and figuring out what about those events makes them special.  Handbooks had the following entries:  History of punctuation, the missing 'I', hopefully and other sins, See it Feel it and Hear it, and six poem types.
