From there, Mr. Ryder discussed the Story Corps project and what that will involve. Mr. Dunbar talked about the photo essay project and what that will involve. We also talked about the building a studio project. (This will probably be a major design challenge anchor project.)
We came together and Mr. Ryder read nearly all of the next section of Of Mice and Men, beginning on page 66 and ending . . . after that.
Folks had twenty minutes to work on:
Three 4 Thinking: Of Mice & Men #2
Blogging
Story Corps/Photo Essay PreThinking/Planning (Good stuff to put on blog)

We ended with a GoSoapbox experience. We took a couple of polls and completed our socratic seminar. To access it again, just enter the access code in your gmail inbox.
