Last Friday’s blog entry offered bonus points to any student who posted a response that identified the classmates whose names are also common nouns, which makes them playable Scrabble words.
Congratulations to Brady Battista for correctly identifying the playable name, which appears below in bold.
- Jake D’Aquino: all right, fine
For her efforts, Grady will receive five bonus points for the first Check, Please! worksheet, which is due at the beginning of class on Wednesday, January 22.
I may offer additional bonus-point opportunities, so be on the lookout for those. Reading all of the notes that I post for you here, on my blog, will ensure that you see those chances to raise your daily grades.
Next Up
In class on Wednesday, we will examine David Sedaris‘s “Me Talk Pretty One Day” and Helen Keller’s “The Day Language Came into My Life” as model literacy narratives.
