Short day Thursday!

Remember the dance tomorrow! Fun, fun!

P. 1,4: Students started their argument papers today in the computer lab after reading two nonfiction articles for support.
H/W: Tonight you are to fill out your t-chart with your claim, reason, and evidence. Above your t-chart state your claim (we did this in class), then on the left write 3 reasons why you believe or do not believe intellectually disabled students should be placed in traditional classrooms. On the right of the chart, write evidence for each reason. Two pieces of evidence have to be from the articles, and one has to be from your novel.

P. 2,5,6 : We finished up determining theme and vocab. connections with "Through the Tunnel." I loved our symbol discussion! If you need to finish reading about Poe's life, here is the link:http://www.poemuseum.org/life.php
