January 9, 2008
Today students shared their ideas for new punctuation marks. They came up with lots of good ideas! For instance, : ) this mark would show that you should read this sentence with a happy sounding voice. This mark <> would show you should get quieter as you read the sentence.

Ask your student about the history of the punctuation marks we all use.

We shared a couple of the tall tales, and students worked in the computer lab, typing their tall tales and class finals (Advice for Writers).

The tall tales were due today, though they may still be handed in next time. The class final is due Friday (the last day of the term).
