Devin and Ashley had not read the assignment for today (The Open Window). I allowed them to spend 10 minutes reading while I helped Sadie do a final edit of her creative writing piece for the art show. After that we studied vocabulary and prepared for MOnday's vocab test on unit 2.

Lesson Comments
In Devin's defense, there is a slight chance that something happened to his photocopy of the story before he left class (as in I might have accidentally taken it). He had no recollection of the assignment and wasn't reminded of it b/c he didn't have the photocopies with the work that he did bring home (he WAS particularly well prepared for vocabulary).

Good lesson. Students seemed fairly aware of events in the Middle East and very concerned about the difficulty in Japan.
All students seemed fairly comfortable with their understandings about WWI. Ashley is particularly strong.
