Nov. 12-14
November 12, 2008Spelling test next week: We’ll take the commonly misspelled words only. Not the homophones. The words are located on page 13 of the Communication Arts Notebook. I’ll also put the words on a Page on this blog.
Language: We have spent 2 days finding figurative language in the Literature Books we are reading in reading and Thurs. a Figurative Language worksheet will be completed in class.
Thursday and Friday: Personal Narrative rough drafts will be handed back. We’ll go over the changes I recommend. They’ll have the rest of the day Thursday and part of the day Friday to rewrite the personal narrative. Those who are finished will start reading their personal narratives to the class. The rest will read theirs aloud on Monday.
Reading: We are meeting in discussion groups Wednesday to discuss chapters 5-7 of the Literature Books. Each student will go over the role that has been assigned to them.
Chapters 8-10 will be assigned Wednesday and will be due next Wednesday, November 19.
