Hello All,
We’ve hit a “warming trend” to break up the cold snap. Who knew 26 degrees would practically be tropical?Our Visual Vocabulary words today were delineate and discordant. We took a few minutes to discuss the words. They wrote some sentences (and drew pictures!) to help cement these words into their brains. I always look forward to reading these sophisticated words in their writing!
Writing
Today, the Narrative Essays were due today and I am looking forward to reading them! This class has some very creative ideas! I will get them graded and coded as soon as I can and hand them back ASAP. Enjoy the week off from writing assignments!
Literature
We are moving along in Animal Farm and are up to chapter 6. We broke into groups and had a 4 Square Style Discussion over the significant events in those chapters. Each group member was assigned a role and we had some great participation. After the small group discussion, each group presented their most significant or surprising takeaways to the large group.They demonstrated some wonderful critical thinking! I told the students I wish we had the entire class time to just talk about the book and many agreed. Instead of reader response questions, they have a take home quiz to complete on Google Classroom.
Alas, time moves on and Grammar awaits. Today’s topic was on a Simple Sentences Review and the other was practice on prepositional phrases. Make sure to correct your work before you turn it in!
Blessings,
Mrs. G
