Block one of English 8 ended on a bit of a whimper. Too many students chose not to turn in final papers/projects for my liking. They'll get another chance, but they should have just done it the first time.
Block 2 is beginning! So far the class is shaping up to be huge and full of characters. Hopefully, this means we'll have a fun block and get lots of work done. I really don't want to chase after research papers this block.
