Wednesday 8/6/16

9MD

P2

Today I have the remaining students to see and then all of the individual conferencing about your next steps for learning in our short story/ paragraph writing  will be complete. I am looking forward to reading and sharing you completed SEXY paragraphs about Oakley Creek or Flowers for Algernon. This has been a very worth while exercise in learning to craft your writing.

As discussed in class yesterday, you will have time to complete your SEXY paragraph and THE INFORMATION HUNT for the real Oakley Creek. Both tasks must be completed today.

REMEMBER THE QUIZ on Thursday 8/6/16 P1. The Winners take all! It will be based around The Information Hunt task.

The second half of the period will be spent reading our new short story, an excerpt from 'City Night' by Steve Dickinson - a story of the Friday night adventures of a group of young New Zealanders in the city center of Auckland. OR you will continue to work on the extended text 'Flowers for Algernon'. If you are working on this text, a document has been shared with you.

A copy of the text can be found in your Hapara workspace, and if you are working on 'Flowers for Algernon' there is a link for the text.
