CHAT Writing 1 Class Notes–Week 10 (11/7)
We are buzzing along in our semester and these students are learning a lot!
We started the class with our Visual Vocabulary words: pensive and beleaguered. Now that the election is over, hopefully none of us feel that way anymore!
Writing
After reviewing the www.asia.b clause, the new #2 preposition sentence opener, and some tips on how to handle numbers when writing a composition, students practiced identifying Dress-Ups on a student sample paragraph. They compared notes with a neighbor and we went over the answers together as a class.
After reading the Checklist together, they are now ready to write their compositions. The three paragraph summary is due next week.
Grammar
The adverbs group presented their part of speech today. They also have two worksheets from me and should fill out an evaluation on today’s presentation. Next week, the pronouns group (Samera, Evelyn & Alexa) will present.
Literature
To prepare for our next novella, I assigned students to read some introductory material about A Christmas Carol. After they read that, they can take a quiz over it on Google Classroom. There is also a video posted about Charles Dickens’ life and times to enjoy.
Have a blessed weekend!
