Topics in Literature is off to a great start! With two sections and forty five students, there is a lot to learn and a lot of reading and writing getting done. When I looked at the first reading and vocabulary blogs, I saw that, at least partially because we hadn't had any other posts due in the previous week, students read way past the eighty to one hundred pages I'd assigned. Out of curiosity, I asked my instructional aide, Julia, to add up just how many. And the number she came up with? 5,446! That's an average of 121 pages per student. I'm excited; I hope they are, too.
What have I been reading lately? Well, my daughter really likes that book she's holding called Jet Set Babies Wear Wings, so I've read that a few times. :) And I also just started a book recommended to me by both my grandmother and one of my AP Literature students, The Boston Girl, by Anita Diamant. The narrative voice in it is great, so I'm looking forward to seeing where the plot goes. Next post I hope I have an awesome quotation blog to post as an example!
Hi Violet! You look like a such a big girl in this picture.
