We had such exciting, student-led book club discussions today. I love it when students use content vocabulary like static characters and archetypes. They also discussed power struggles in their dystopian novels. Music to my ears!
Great day conferring with 7th grade writers about realistic fiction story topics! Almost every student was on time for a one-on-one virtual conference. Time well spent!
Lots of answers to frequently asked questions in this session. Please watch, Missile families and faculty. Thank you, @SallyWSugg & the @shelbycountysch chiefs for your leadership. #missilePRIDE
I just signed up ro track my reading in Goodreads. Could someone explain how to set the "Date Read" for books so that they will show in my reading challenge? Thanks.
