Genre (B Days)

Today we talked about genre. Our Punctual Piece was done as a class. We listened to different songs and decided and debated what genre each song fell under. (alternative, classical, oldies, reggae, jazz, hip-hop, etc.) After talking about genre we discussed our Outside Reading Assignment for this term in which you will be required to read two (2) novels--meaning books that are at least 100 pages in length! One novel should be from the Genre of Escape Fiction, and the other should come from our class book list of World Literature. (I will get the book list to you on Wednesday).

Then we went to take school pictures and then we had some time to go to the library to look for books. Remember you must bring your book with you to class on Friday!

Things to Remember:
(1) Learning Writing and Learning Survey are due on Wednesday--that's next time!
(2) Bring one of your outside reading books with you on Friday!
