Welcome to Mrs. Temple's wiki.  We will begin our independent reading in the next few days, in addition to reading, you will be required to react and respond online. Prior to that, I would like each of you to try a post and two reactions to make sure everyone understands what is expected of them.

ASSIGNMENT #1: Based on your reading of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, please post one "I Wonder" statement about pages 140-177. An "I Wonder" statement would be anything you thought was interesting as you read. It could be a question you had while reading. It really could be anything that directly ties into the reading that you feel would generate relevant class discussion. Although it does not have to begin "I Wonder" it has to be something that we can ponder and react to about the reading. In order to formulate a class discussion you and your classmates will be asked to respond to at least two posts.

You will receive credit for relevant, insightful responses and reactions that are presented in a timely fashion. A simple reaction of, "I agree," would not be considered insightful and therefore would NOT receive credit. If, in fact, you do agree you will need to provide an explanation that would give your classmates something to think about while reading.

Also remember that everything you post will be directly linked to your name and therefore should be school appropriate. I am extremely excited about our upcoming online discussions however I also realize that there may be a few glitches along the way. I would ask that we all remain patient and optimistic about the process. = = =ASSIGNMENT #2: Due Monday BEFORE Class-= A) Finish reading TCID and complete the post I was surprised, shocked, angered when .... because... B) In addition, react to two posts. Again, remember to be insightful and thought-provoking. **Remember to post in the correct spot - your period and I was shocked etc.

ASSIGNMENT #3: INDEPENDENT READ - Due Wednesday, 2/29, ANYTIME WEDNESDAY
A.) Identify one aspect of the rising action that has been unexpected. Explain how it has influenced/impacted the overall plot of your story. B.) As you have been reading, identify one personal connection you have been making with the characters, conflict, plot, etc.

__**Reminders:**__ Also remember that at this point you should be at least halfway through your independent reading assignment. If you are not, you are behind and you need to catch up.
 * Both A and B should be approximately one paragraph and they need to be posted before class on Wednesday.**

ASSIGNMENT #4: Respond to posts. - Due Friday 3/16.
Read through the personal connection posts for your book and react to at least TWO of your peer's posts. Remember that a response must be thoughtful and specific. Simply stating you agree or disagree isn't a response and will NOT count. If you choose to agree or disagree with a post, you need to clearly explain why.
