Students completed their elements of fiction quiz and worked on story response questions while others finished up. We will examine the two stories that have been introduced over the last few days tomorrow and discuss the similarities and differences between them. Students are asked to have their perspective stories writing assignment ready to hand in tomorrow. All other materials will be completed in class.
Students worked on completing the rough draft of their point of view narrative stories. We will have a short library period tomorrow and compete some peer editing upon our return.
We read and discussed an article describing the beginning of World War II and the bombing of Warsaw in preparation for reading an historical short story based on the same event. After discussing the context of the story, we read "The First Day of the War" together and completed a story pyramid summarizing key events and elements.
We discussed next week's quiz on elements of fiction and copied a brief outline of material that will be covered. Students completed notes on punctuation of dialogue for their stories. The remaining portion of class time was used to continue work on the rough draft of this story. Drafts are due Thursday.
