All three classes wrote to the prompt - What's on your mind? Overall the girls like the idea of having the chance to choose what they write about. I think we will go with the open prompt for the next two classes. After that I will ask them to bring an object from home to spark - something to write about. Right now my conversations have focused on how to support writing. Will need to address variety. Maybe in a week + I'll have the girls read their journal to assess the variety they see. I felt more energy in second and third periods. I'm not sure if the reading lesson just got smoother or if it's the individuals. Need to read their work. Overall the girls liked Absolutely Normal Chaos. Seemed to be a book they enjoyed and related to. Pacing is good, if anything we could do more which is nice to think about.
