For the Record

For the record, we're enjoying our novel The Wednesday Wars. Holling's relationships are unfolding, and our thoughts about the story have sparked interesting discussions in class. At the end of cafe, we created records on which we will record our thoughts about the story. In the end, we will create a song title that best fits the story. Why records? That's what Holling would have listened to!

During our class meeting we had a discussion about spreading rumors and gossip. The class heard a fable about gossip that illustrated how one rumor can fly to many corners and be impossible to retrieve. It is better not to spread gossip in the first place. It's a form of bullying that can be so hurtful. Next week, we will focus on the important elements of friendship.
