Discussion


 * TODAY THERE IS NO TOPIC OF WIKI "DISCUSSION," FOR THURSDAY, JULY 26th. INSTEAD, WE WOULD LIKE EACH OF YOU TO DO THE FOLLOWING:**

Take out your dialectical journals and work on completing them today. When and/or if you are done completing them, please start from the beginning and edit your responses. Check your **spelling** and **grammar.** Make sure all sentences begin with capital letters and end with end marks. End marks can be: periods, question marks and exclamation points.

All of the quotes from the book should be in **"QUOTATION MARKS!"**

Also, you should make sure that all quotes include **page numbers**. Since you are using iPads, some of the quotes will not match the same pages as in your teacher's hard copy. Therefore, on the front page of your journals, please include the following message: __**I read my book on an iPad so that the page numbers may be different**__.

One additional detail, count all your responses and make sure you have the correct number: Grade **7** = **15** QUOTES Grade **8** = **20** QUOTES Grade **9** = **25** QUOTES
