NON Update

Today in our classroom, students will be brainstorming ideas for their Night of the Notables costumes.  The intention is for some ideas to be generated, if they have not been already, to prepare for our big night. 
We spoke of:

• props
• accessories
• "Signature qualities", or unique attributes of the person that should be highlighted
• not spending too much (get creative!)

The focus this week should shift from Key Word Outlining to using said outline to draft a rough version of the paper.  Any research being done at this point should only be for the purposes of "patching holes" and strengthening shorter sections.

In one week, on Tuesday, November 6th, the middle school teachers will be offering a "Souvenir Workshop" after school.  Students can bring in supplies for Souvenirs and work alongside others doing the same thing.  (This is not a time for brainstorming to take place; that should happen prior to the "workshop".)

Only 12 school days left until Night of the Notables.  Keep working!
