As you all know by now, I am gone for the rest of the week. I will be in Philadelphia the rest of the week and will return on Monday. I contemplated whether or not to postpone any more blog assignments until I get back. But, I was assured by the 8th period class you would work hard to keep our book study going. Today you will respond to the prompts below. On Wednesday you will have a reading day when you will read the next two chapters of TKAM. I have informed Mrs. Patterson to let me know if you are not utilyzing the reading time. Remember, these blogging activities do not work if you have not read the assigned material. On Thursday I will have another blog assignment for you, and Friday another reading day. I will be reading your posts from Philadelphia to monitor your work. I am expecting you be thorough with your responses. I will post the assignment links uner the "Assignment" links section on the upper right hand corner of the blog. Thursday's assignment will be titled "TKAM - Thursday 11-19-09." Remember to rotate the writing and make sure each persons' name in your group is listed at the bottom of the post. For today respond to the following prompts/questions:
