Students began their first copy of their literary essay during today's ELA session. Students have been exposed to many different literary essays over the last few weeks and we have also focused our attention on questions that readers ask of texts. I am eager to see the different directions that my writers chose to take their first drafts. This work will continue throughout the course of the week.
Earlier in the day, small groups continued to work on fraction related land plot problems. The level of positive discourse has been a positive over the last two days. I felt today was quite productive.
