Coffee House:  Part 2

Currently we are wrapping up the Main Idea in Literacy.  Yesterday the students chose an article they were most interested in, sat down with a "cup of Joe" (hot chocolate), a cookie, jazz music, and read and analyzed their articles.  From there, they wrote a response, identifying the "main idea" of the article.  Afterwords, they read their novels for Literature Circles.

It was awesome!  We had a blast.  Next up, we are working on organizational patterns in writing.

Below are some pics of the afternoon:
