Hello nice people,

Your first Make (featuring your ideas about fairy tales) is due by Sunday night. You’ll see a category called “Make 1: Fairytales (Sept 15)” on our G+ community. Look forward to seeing your makes! Remember to write a reflection about why you decided to approach your make the way you did and what worked/what didn’t. Emma already shared hers and it’s a nice example of what your reflection and make could look like (Thanks Emma!)

For Monday, come to class having started your series book choice and bring your book with you. (Series of Unfortunate Events, Origami Yoda Series, King & Kayla, OR Keena Ford). HERE is the link to your book selections for the semester. I’ll post this link on the Syllabus page and our calendar too.

We will also start reading from Miller’s Reading in the Wild next week, so make sure you have that book or let me know on Monday and I’ll show you how to find the library etext.

Hi everyone and happy Friday,

Here are some things to do heading into next week (you can find all these things on the calendar as well):

• CHOOSE BOOKS: If you have not let me know which books you want to read this semester, please fill out the form this weekend (by Monday evening): LINK HERE. Make sure you get them ordered asap.
• WRITE POST: Post your introduction and literacy discussion in our G+ community by Monday night. Link to prompts HERE (link to G+ with instructions on that doc too and on our site/calendar)
  • RESPOND TO A PEER: Respond to a peer’s post after you post yours on Monday night. You’ll always post one and respond to one.
• READ: We are reading the Little Red Riding Hood (LRRH) series of stories for Wednesday’s class. Pages 3-24 here. You can also simply google the titles and find these versions on the web if the pdf is hard to read. Keep notes so you can refer to the versions for our work in class on Wednesday.

Here are a couple reminders for tomorrow:

• If you can, please bring laptop/tablet so we can get set up on our G+ community. You’ll have your first response due Monday night.
• Please read ‘A Puzzle to the Rest of Us…” short article (have it with you on laptop or some device so we can refer to it). Link on calendar.
• Look over syllabus, books, assignments and come with any questions
