Today, we experimented with Pickles and Ketchup. Students who were up-to-date on all of their classwork were provided with Pickles Menus. On these menus, students were provided with 8 different language-arts-based choices as to how they could spend their time (click on the image to see it larger) meanwhile "Ketchup" students (students who needed to catch up on their work) completed their required assignments.

This is the first time we have experimented with breaking up the class like this, and we may tweak this method for future use.

After completing this, students were asked to continue copying the literary terms into their notebook that they began copying when I was out of class last week (Friday).  Students who did not finish copying this will need to do so while other students work on a project of their own choice (in the days to come).
