This week will be a brief set of notes because I might not have access to my computer for a couple days after tonight.
The Quick Write prompt: 1) What is the most expensive thing you own or would like to own; 2) What are your spending habits or your attitudes towards money? Cheapskate, thrifty, frivolous, or generous.
Words of the Day:

agelast -- someone who never laughs
Writing
Students handed in their final drafts (along with rough drafts.) The next essay is a History Essay. Although they have 2 weeks to do the pre-write and rough draft, they must have a draft of their thesis statement for class next week.
Grammar
We had the Pronouns presentation today from Ingrid, Tyler, and Elliot. Because we are nearing the end of the parts of speech unit, I gave them a packet of exercises to start their review. They have a review packet from the beginning of the semester that they can use. This is due on Nov. 21.
Literature
We discussed 3 questions to cover Staves One and Two. For next week, they are to read Stave Three.
Assignments for Next Week:
-- Read Stave Three
-- Respond to 3 Study Guide questions
-- Define 4 Vocabulary Words
-- History Essay Pre-Write
