Examples of reading blogs from other students:
Example 1:
One of the books I read this week was ” Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not So Miss No it All". It starts off when Zoey,Chloe and Nikki are celebrating a new year. They begin to play truth or dare. During the game they dare Nikki to toilet paper Mackenzie Hollister’s house! Nikki doesn’t want to but she also doesn’t want to seem like a chicken so she does it any way. On their way there Nikki can already tell that the year isn’t go to start to good. While they are toilet papering her house she comes out with her dog. So, Nikki, Zoey and Chloe go hide in a bush. But Mackenzie’s dog decides to do his business on that bush and they all scream making Mackenzie go see whats the commotion. Nikki confesses that she and her friends toilet papered. But Mackenzie being the self centered person she is doesn’t believe her. She thinks that Brandon did it at her house to get her attention.
I really liked the book. I can’t wait till the new book comes. I wonder why Mackenzie thought Nikki and her friends couldn’t have done it. I really like Nikki’s character even though she worries a lot she knows when stand up for herself. I hope other people read Dork Diaries and enjoy them as much as i do.
Example 2:
The book I read was diary of a wimpy kid. It was about Greg who is a fine middle school Student who’s life suck’s. His mom bought him a diary and made him right in it. He barely writes anything personal but he does write alot of useful hints. For example, he He also has a friend named Rowley who isn’t really smart enough to be in middle school. Greg is around 31 or 32 second most popular in his grade. Rowley does something very stupid. He asks, “you want to come over my house and play?”. Greg keeps on saying its hang out. He still doesnt get it though.
I wonder if Rowley keeps annoying Greg? It would be annoying for me if that happens. Maybe they wont be friends anymore. Probably the next book would be about his family. Rowley seriously needs to think! Cant wait to read the next book. Hopefully you get into it too!

Current Event due every Friday
As long as students include every part on the assignment sheet, creativity is encouraged in the final product. Some ideas we discussed as a class include: current event booklet, writing as though you are the news reporter, posting it on a small board or cardboard, posting each section around a shoebox or cereal box, etc.
Open the document below for all current event information, including the grading rubric and a guide that may be followed by students until they get the hang of it.
