Friday, Oct. 25 Agenda

• Bell Ringer: 15 minutes reading -look for big ideas, WoW, discussion question topics, etc 
• Writer’s Workshop
• Perspective Story Rubric reminder
• Work on what you need to do to make this story the best piece of writing you have done -be prepared to post a close to final draft on your blog
• Third/fourth draft –fluency and general self-edit
• Big Idea Paragraph (this needs to be done by next Friday):
• Pick one of the 30ish big ideas notebooks.  In that notebook, explain how the book you are reading shows that big idea.  
• What is your author saying about it based on what is happening/what people are saying/what it makes you think/etc. 
• How do the ideas in your book on this theme/big idea connect to ideas in reality, other books, your life, etc 
• If you can find evidence to support yourself, that would be great.  
• This should be a longer paragraph in length.  
• Write your name and the big idea you wrote about on the notebook paper in the green binder
