Presented new Problem/Solution Essay assignment. Have not assigned a due date for this yet due to all the snow, but there will be assignment checkpoints to keep you on track. Met in small groups to discuss novels and divide up pages to read. HW: Read pages designated in your small groups so you can keep up with your literature circle's discussions. Think about research topic for your problem/solution essay. It needs to connect with the book you are reading for literature circles. Some students (mostly C block) need to complete your midterm writing assignments.
