8th ELA - In recognition of Constitution Day, students reviewed the Bill of Rights and what each Amendment means, they then imagined that aliens landed and told them that they could only keep five of the rights that our country's forefathers outlined as inalienable...they wrote in their Writer's Journals (entry #5) which five rights they would pick and why. They then discussed these rights with their table mates and came up with a consensus of what was the #1 right they could not let go. Using an online survey system, students used their cell phones to vote on the one right. The class discussed the results of the survey. Students were then given a test prep packet on Spelling Assessments and the best strategies to use. If this packet is not completed during class it is homework to be turned in tomorrow at the beginning of class. Homework: READ! (2 Individual AR books due by Nov 2), Test Taking Strategies Spelling Assessments Packet, Journal Entry #6
