The newest edition of our online magazine, The Jag Mag, has hit the airwaves. There's so much to talk about I'm not sure where to start. We've added a new mp3zine (podcast) to our online magazine. Now, you can both read and listen to writers from The Jag Mag. To hear our first show, just click on the podcast button below.

Jag Mag Update

The next Jag Mag meeting is this Tuesday, Dec. 12th - the last meeting before winter break. Our first ever Slam Poetry Fest is next week, Dec. 21st and 22nd. Check out this site, 145 SlamFam. It features middle school poets in the Bronx participating in slam poetry.

Also, please make sure to do your weekly Reading Log Wiki post. Everyone should be posting at least once a week. You can write about your literature circle novel on the wiki if you want.

The picture above is a sculpture I saw on the premises of a building called The Organization of American States. I couldn't find the name of the artist. bye
