ELA - Students Read, took AR quizzes and wrote to the following prompt in their Writer's Journal: Would you like a career chosen for you at age 12? Why or why not? AM classes read and filled in their journals.
PM classes had their journal entries and vocabulary definitions checked for a homework grade. They then reviewed the correct definitions for their vocabulary (in prep for Friday's quiz) and held their first class discussion of a novel. Many interesting comments and questions arose from this discussion. Glad to see students are seeing this novel anew with their more mature 8th grade eyes. Homework: Read, study for vocabulary and The Giver chap 1-5 quiz on Friday. Write journal entry #37 *Remember students should have 40 journal entries ready to turn in for a Summative Assessment on Monday.
