8th Grade--1/5

Today students began class by looking at sample paragraphs from their fellow students and making guesses about whether the author was female or male based on the nuances of their written voice. Overall, I thought you guys were very successful with this exercise! After we discussed this, students had the rest of the period to write their gender fiction stories. You will have the entire period to work on this tomorrow as well. Since I will be at jury duty, I expect you to work diligently for the substitute.

If you didn't submit your TKAM essay yesterday, please place it in a neat pile on my desk tomorrow. I will come in early on Monday morning to correct them before class.
