Homework:
Work on "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street" essay
The rough draft is due on Monday when we go to the writing lab.

Today we took the unit 9 quiz. We also took the first round of the district spelling bee. I will take the top 20 or so students and give them a chance at a second round. Those two rounds just use paper, like a quiz. The last round will use the traditional format so we can determine the top three spellers of the grade. The district spelling bee is February 20th at 6:30 P.M. I will let you know who the winners are for 7th grade next Wednesday when the names are due.

I handed out a suggested outline for the upcoming essay. We will discuss it further tomorrow. We will also continue to decide which essay will be read to the class and which essay will be scored by me. You can see the handout on the assignment page on http://www.mrboz.com/ .
