 Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
Submitted by Joy Boyd, Livingston Junior High School, October 21, 2008

LJH - There were “Ooohs!” and “Ahhhs!” and “You’ve got to be kidding!” in the Junior High Language Arts 7th grade classes recently. The students got to peak at themselves in a highly powered magnified mirror, seeing things they didn’t even know existed! These writers observed some interesting details in the mirror. That is because they are currently studying magnifying in their writing skills. Magnifying is the art of narrowing down a topic to focus on the interesting details. They are learning that the best story focuses on a moment or single emotion to bring the reader into the writer’s world.

88 juniors and 56 sophomores chose to take the PSAT/NMSQT test on October 15th. This is truly the best behaved group that we have ever tested. Every student did their part in following instructions.
