End of the first week!
Friday, we read a Newsweek article called "Anything but Crocs." It was author Steve Tuttle's sarcastic take on the overwhelming popularity of "rubber clown shoes." It was a great article to get us brainstorming for our first writing sample appropriately titled "Anything but..." I received some interesting topics--"Anything but... school, homework, the New England Patriots, and bullies, to name a few! As we begin with our second week of school, we will discuss goals for the year and view a documentary about September 11th.

Hello, Mrs. Osterhoudt's Ninth Grade Class. It's Steve Tuttle from Newsweek, and I am honored that you used my essay in your ninth grade class. I'd be interested in seeing some of the ideas you came up...maybe I can steal them for future rants.
Regards,
Steve Tuttle
