WORD OF THE DAY Insouciant showing a casual lack of concern; indifferent Mr. Walker’s commentary on our essays revealed his feelings for the class were not INSOUCIANT.

LINES WE LOVE “Multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign of a diseased mind.” ~Terry Pratchett, Faust Eric

OBJECTIVES FOR TODAY Block 1: During block 1 I will be doing the progress checks on your Awesome Authors Projects and reviewing your Reader Response essay over Night.
