We have been busy the last two weeks: we shared our novels and had a lovely party. I was so impressed with all the hard work and imagination that went into these adventures.
We also vindicated villains or went beyond the "happily ever after" in our beloved fairy tales. Most fairy tales are told from the "hero's" point of view. But we all know that we tend to make ourselves look good in a story; there are always more than one side of a story. So we rewrote a fairy tale from the villain's point of view. Some students chose to write on what happened after the story ended, because the end of a fairy tale is just the beginning to a whole new story.
This is the last list of Greek and Latin words, we are up to 200. The rest of the semester will be working on memorizing the ones we have learned.

dokien- think, have an opinion
