Our group of three met today to proceed with our study.
First, we brainstormed some ideas for our Physical Exercise Strategy. Patria located some more positive research and suggestions on the Web at Focus2learn. This site was essentially designed for students younger than ours, but it did present further successful research in this area. We would like to prepare a routine of manageable movement to stimulate reading responses in class - but nothing too wild. Tom suggested simple yoga stretches that could be done while seated. Jim suggested some adaptation of Tai C'hi. We thought that perhaps we could adapt some of the exercises shown at this site, Everyday Yoga.
We also shared our efforts to provide a more uniform course of study across our classes. We told of activities and works that had been received well by our students. Tom offered to provide some materials on Joyce's "The Dead" using Think Aloud. He also informed us that he will soon begin class work on Joyce's story "Araby". Finally, we discussed ways that we could make our Exit Projects more successful by requiring similar goals from our Seniors.
At the end of the school day, Mr. Bucich added an entry to our school's Wikispace that explained how to access this blog.Go to English IV.
Update: We've already received some spam comments from what is apparently a Portugese gambling site, so we'll start up Word Verification on our Comments. This means that to comment, one must type in a few nonsense letters as shown in order to post. Don't let that stop any comments - we'd love to get some more feedback.

Hello Mr. Hudson.
Having the MLA format is a wonderful idea. I will let my students use this web-site for their research paper. They are always asking questions about MLA format. Thank you
Mrs. Alcantara
