Language Arts: Journals were checked, vocabulary was found within the text, and our class discussion was not completed....lots to discuss and many questions. Tomorrow's quiz will be vocabulary only. Next week will be all review of The Giver. Final test will be on Thursday, November 10th. Final draft of the Reader's Journal is also due on Thursday. Students will need these to review pertinent parts of the book.  Final draft of the Reader's Journal includes all chapter sections filled out completely and with insightful entries/questions that show student was reading the book. A final draft of a cover....student's favorite scene or imagery from the book. Final draft of an illustration is something that can't be erased. If students want to use pencil (due to the black and white community) they must cover their illustration with clear contact paper or laminate so that it cannot be erased. Don't forget we have a fresh batch of AR books to be read for this marking period. 3 more books, that equates to a book a month.
