Your First Box Prompt

After vocab today, you had your first box prompt, and it was all about Grendel. A box prompt is a shortened essay in boxes that include a thesis statement, three body sections, and a conclusion. With 40 minutes (eventually you will have 25 minutes to do these), you had your class time to finish the box prompt and turn it in. For those at PPI, have discussed timing with you when you returned to class. For those absent, either send an e-mail for a digital copy of the box prompt or pick one up prior to class.

And it's on the board, so I can't believe I almost forgot to remind you to finish Grendel for the block class. Since you had a writing day today, you should look forward to a more creative exercise tomorrow during class.

And, a new addition arrived last night. Ingram and Tango are happy to announce they have a new baby sister named Elinor Octavia. She is named after Elinor Dashwood and for her place as the eighth rabbit that I have been fortunate to love. At close to three months, she is an absolute cuddle bunny, very curious while playing with her toys and her big sister, and a strong eater. As many of you are aware, the loss of our little Monty last year was devastating, and it has taken all of us time to mourn him and his adventurous spirit. I feel Monty was there yesterday when we met this little girl and that he was part of finding her in the first place. The picture below is from her baby cage (you should see her big girl cage that is about twice the size), the location where we have already begun litterbox training.
