QUOTE OF THE DAY by Ray Bradbury
"I know you've heard it 1000 times before. But it's true--hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it."

Vocabulary root "dia"

WRITER'S NOTEBOOK
Add-on stories: Start a story using the vocabulary words "aristocracy," "addict," and "diagonal." Write for 2 minutes then pass your WN to someone else who will "add on" to your story by writing 2 more minutes (you don't have to use the vocabulary words again). Trade 5 times. If you were absent, spend 12 minutes writing a story on your own.
THIS I BELIEVE
What is a personal essay? We did a "genre" group activity to help answer this question. If you were absent, ask me for the folder with the three writing pieces in it and the handout that goes with it.
