LA - Today was C day so I only met with one 8th grade class. Students were handed back their thesis statement. If they were good, they got started on their rough drafts, if the thesis statement needed revising they worked on it, and had to get it approved by me before starting their rough draft. The paper is a literary essay based on the short story that they chose to write on. Students also caught up on reading "The Outsiders." HW - none
