ELA - I apologize for not posting yesterday - I was out. Day 6 discussed Allusions and how to work an allusion in to create an interesting documentary or article. Students did a great job with this lesson!
Today, Day 7 we discussed the ending of an article or documentary. Journalistic writing is different than writing an essay, the beginning has the bulk of the information - the lead. The ending includes a call to action and a bigger truth rather than restate a thesis in a conclusion. Homework: Read, Journal entry #4.41, work on Civil War Journalism project.

Technology - We again were displaced due to the M-STEP in 2nd hour, we were able to assemble our Design Folders and will begin our presentations on Monday. 3rd hour we were able to be in our lab and were able to begin presentations. We will continue presenting on Monday.
