Second Quarter Thoughts

Welcome back!

Here are some things we'll be working on this quarter:

First, we have our Newsworthy project! Check out the post below this one to get started on our next project. We'll be using the program Pages on your Mac computer.

Making Castro Cougar Courier bigger and better. I'd like to get more articles on our school news site so let's be thinking of articles we'd like to write. Remember to think about what's going on around school and what's important to the students of Castro Middle School!

Dictionary.com word/photo of the day: In order to expand our vocabulary and get a chance to take some interesting photos, I'd like to start a project that involves Dictionary.com's word of the day. We'll take pictures that help define the word of the day.

READ, READ, READ: I'd like you to think about what you're interested in. Cars, fashion, sports, food, games, music? In order to become better writers in a specific area, we need to read to learn more about our topic and see how other writers write. We'll search for web sites, bring in magazines and do some reading to find information and learn how to write better.

What do you want to do? If you have ideas, email me using your gaggle account or post a comment.
