EQ: What conventions do I still need to master?
  Final grammar quiz- your paper please. Homework: Journals must be complete by tomorrow, AR tests must be taken, and be prepared to share your "cast" for your movie version of your literature circle book.

5/17/12 Journal 1- "Looks can be deceiving"- Think of a story you have read where looks may have been deceiving. Think of a character who may have been beautiful on the outside, but shallow. Or a character who may not be the most georgeous, but has georgeous character traits- kindness for example. Then, agree or disagree with the following: You can/can't always judge a book by it's cover. (2-3 paragraphs)

5/17/12  Journal 2: Metamorphosis- Last year when you studied Greek mythology you were introduced to many stories, such as Baucis and Philemon, that featured several types of metamorphosis, or changes. You, as a seventh grader, may have undergone many metamorphosis even this year. Write 1/2 page on how you have changed this year. Try to think of changes other than just physical changes.

5/18/12  Toast for Change: Last year you wrote an "I am" poem for our narrative poetry unit. Re-read Journal 2 and reflect on how you have changed this year. Did you meet all your goals? Are there still aspects of your character you want to change? Write your "Toast for Change" on the handout given.

5/19/12 Change Poem: Fill in the blanks on the poem thinking of the ways that you have or would like to change. Please be honest. These will go in your portfolios, but only brave volunteers will share with the class. Due: Thursday

5/18/12  Read "Master Frog" pp. 637-643 in your Literature book. Answer questions #7 and #8 on p. 644 on your own paper.
