Today in class I read my quality peice of writing (The Book of Bright Ideas, by Sandra Kring.) Then we went on to discuss in small detail how this book is just like high school in many ways. After that we got into our discussion cirle and discussed CBC. On Friday Ms. Hillestad had given us questions to go over and think about for the class discussion. I think this method worked really well, the class discussion seemed to be a lot more smooth with almost everyone having something to say. We talked about the book as a whole, from things as far as the family structure of Jarvis and Kumalo's famalies and how they compare, love/hate, urban/rural, ect. I felt like we covered the important points in this book and this discussion will really help when it is time to take the test. Dr. Johnson also came into class today and we found out that Ms. Hillestad will get her SMART BOARD!!! Wooo hooo!!!!
