We set term II reading goals and completed the response questions for "The Interopers". Students began reading "Golden Girl" on page 78 of their text in preparation for Monday's class.
We read and worked on vocablulary for "The Interlopers".
We discussed the qualities of a good story and compared novels to short stories. After examining a number of short short stories, students created their own based on their own criteria of what makes a good story. We reviewed the notes for elements of fiction that were handed out in class.
We completed our second STAR reading assessment of the year in preparation for setting our term II goals for the AR readig program. Students continued work on their Christmas Carol project when finished with their exam.
Students worked this period on their Christmas Carol projects that are due Wednesday, December 7th. We will have 20-30 minutes in class on Monday to put the finishing touches on the projects. If more time is needed, students should be working on these projects out of class. |
