Students are continuing to improve their sentence diagramming skills, and we've added prepositional phrases to the mix. I've been very impressed at how students are able to take the basics they've learned last year and expand upon it this year.
I'm very excited to be introducing NaNoWriMo - or National Novel Writing Month. Throughout the month of November, we will be participating in the Young Writer's Program sponsored by the NaNoWriMo group. We are currently working on developing interesting characters and will be creating exciting plots, detailed settings, and interesting dialogue for our novels. Soon, students will be setting an appropriate word count goal and we'll officially start writing our novels on November 1. Last year, some students wrote over 10,000 words in one month! All students who meet the word count goal they set for themselves will earn a promo code to have a free proof copy of their novel published. It's an exciting opportunity and I hope that many students are able to enjoy the prize!
