Homework:
I would like the students to have written a good chunk of their stories for Friday.  The stories should be mostly complete so we can look at them and they can get feedback.  Ideally, all students will do as I ask.  That is why I have left it vague like this.  But how do you assign making a best attempt at writing a story?  How do you define that?

The stories should have dialogue.  We will be focusing on proper punctuation of dialogue in the days to come.

Today:
Daily Drill
We entered and reviewed the Choosing the Right Word
We watched a little clip on Apple's new iPad and dreamed about how we could use something like that in the future.
I gave the students some work time.

Daily Drill:
