Students were energetic and ready to engage today. I can’t believe we are nearing the end of the semester already!
Quick Write
Yesterday, November 29th was C.S. Lewis’ birthday. Today’s QuickWrite is in honor of him. After listening to the opening paragraphs of Voyage of the Dawn Treader, students invented a character of their own. They used Lewis’ genius opening lines to imitate:
Students shared some amazing character descriptions. I was impressed!
Writing
Essay 4 Rough Draft and Pre-Writes were due today. Students had the opportunity to read and give feedback to each other on their Rough Drafts. When you get comments and feedback from me, then you’ll start the process of revising and editing. The Finals are due December 14–the last day of class.
Grammar
We had a fun and helpful Grammar review today. We played a classroom version of the game “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” where we went over key grammar concepts from IVAN CAPP. They should be prepared for the Grammar Post-Test that we’ll do on paper in class next week. A helpful tip is to review the Grammar Pre-Test from the beginning of the semester before next week. The post-test will be the same, but will have some extra questions at the end.
Literature
Because this was a big review week for Grammar, we did not discuss Stave 3 of A Christmas Carol. Next week we will work with the text in class. Attention!! I did not assign this in class–but Stave 4 and Study Guide questions are due next week. There is also a Discussion Question posted.
Blessings on the rest of your week.
