The Letter Essay

We did some speed dating to begin today.  Not real speed dating... but speed dating to discuss our Lit. Circle books.  Students met with three peers, to hear about their books and share some highlights (or lowlights) from their own book.  After meeting and chatting (so quickly!) students filled out a reflection form, indicating which books sounded interesting, and which ones... not so much.

We spent the remainder of class working on letter essays.  I reviewed the expectations, and then students either wrote or peer edited letter essays.

These are due on Thursday, at the beginning of class.
