Viewed a short film of "The Open Window." Briefly discussed how the film compared with the story in the book.
Distributed the novel, The Silver Kiss, by Annette Curtis Klaus. Directions for book logs were given. Format should be:

Students must choose chapter titles as they finish each chapter. Logs shouldn't take any longer than 5 to 10 minutes and must be completed in the journal section of the notebook. Logs will be checked on a regular basis, but not every day.
We started the book together, and discussed the emerging tone and theme as revealed in just the first 2 pages. Students must finish the first chapter. We'll do the first log together tomorrow.
