Portfolio Day
No bellringer. Chromebooks collected.
Recap: I collected your final portfolios today. So far, they look great! I'm very impressed, and you should be proud of all of your hard work. These are a great way to showcase that!
While I checked portfolios, you were asked to create a fan-fiction for a story of your choice where you provide an alternate ending.
Have a nice night!

Batman, Scooby Doo and Alex Trebek Walk into an Elevator...
Bellringer: Batman, Scooby-Doo and Alex Trebek get stuck in an elevator. What happens?
Recap: Upon finishing the bellringer, you were able to either partner up or remain solo. You were asked to write a longer story based off of the prompt.
Homework: Please remember that portfolios are due tomorrow. Late portfolios will receive a grade no higher than a 70%.
Have a nice evening! Remember, it's more important to finish on a good note than to finish quickly and just be done. Hang in there!

#Graduation
Bellringer: What plans do you have for the holiday weekend?
Recap: I am going to do some fun, free style writing with you from here on out. Today we started with hashtag writing. I provided a topic, and each group had to come up with a story using only hashtag phrases. These turned out well!
Homework: We will begin our portfolios on Tuesday. Please note: You will ONLY have Tuesday in class to work on them! These will be due Thursday, May 29th. If you will not be here, for ANY reason, the portfolio must be submitted either in advance or sent in with someone. This is an assignment worth more than 100 points, which means if it is late, it will receive a grade no higher than a 70%.
Good work this week! Enjoy the holiday!

Guess Who?
Bellringer: Using the following words in a story: burglar, envelope, forest, desk lamp.
Recap: We held another guess-who mystery today. A bracelet was hidden with one of the students, and everyone was asked to ask a question of another person. Based on their answers, you could then begin to eliminate suspects. Both classes figured out who had it solely based on body language! You really used your sleuthing skills!
Nice work today! Don't forget your binders for your portfolios for Tuesday!

Clue!
Bellringer: Based on the game we played yesterday, what was the most important element to solving the crime?
Recap: We played another detective game today. I'm sorry it didn't go as well as yesterday's. Some of you did catch on, however, that you work better as a team than alone. This was the key to solving the crime.
I am also missing QUITE a number of Mystery Stories. These do still count as a grade. Please be sure to share them with me for your credit. I am noticing many grades dropping. Please do not start slacking off now.
