JOURNAL TOPIC:
Dr. Seuss once wrote, "How did it get so late so soon? December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. [sic] How did it get so late so soon?"
Here we are. It's December. In the blink of an eye, we'll be on Winter Break, and then-- but, wait. Let's slow things down for a moment. One of the things I love about reading is how the author's ideas sometimes connect with what I'm thinking, or feeling, or experiencing. Sometimes connecting the dots takes a little effort, but the effort is always worthwhile, because whatever I'm reading becomes more meaningful in those moments.
So, here is today's journal question: what idea/s from Les Mis can you apply to real life? What have the characters done or said that make you think about yourself, people you know, or the bigger issues we all deal with in 2018?
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Lit circles meeting/ make sure everyone is up to date and your Google Doc reflects your work
3. Plan for the week/ individual conferences begin Wednesday
4. Reading (as time allows)
POST:
Set a goal for the end of your semester. What do you want to learn/accomplish between now and finals week? What grade are you aiming for? What do you plan to do over these next couple weeks to achieve your goal? (title: MY SEMESTER GOAL)
