Rory and I began a new novel today. He said that he had a headache and didn't want to work on his graphic organizer for the previous novel. So we will complete that another day. Today we read BRONX MASQUERADE. It is short selections from each student in an English class. Each student submits original poetry for open mic Fridays. Rory will write an original poem as his final project for this novel based on the examples throughout the novel. We read and discussed the first chapters of the book.
