Hello!

What a great day today! It must be the gloominess outside that kept students focused and on task...thank you for a lovely Thursday.

All classes were introduced to complex sentence structure today. This is one more way of improving writing to become more effective writers. I am always asked if a sentence can start with "because," well...now you know! All classes worked on novel studies, and I saw such high interest in the novels! Now it's time to analyze the novels and make connections.

H/W: P.1,4: Make sure you are reading to keep up with the timeline I gave you. Respond to the questions and fill out your Alphablocks. Make sure you are reading the questions very carefully and answering all parts. Ask me if you don't understand a question! Elearning due April 15.

H/W P 5:  Keep reading Ties the Bind. Keep up with the timeline I gave you! Continue to record in culture model and T-chart. Don't forget the essential question! Elearning due April 15.

H/W P. 2,6: Keep up with your culture novel timeline. Fill out the culture model and the T chart for your novel. Be thinking about how you're going to create your culture comparison model.  Elearning due April 15.

See you tomorrow!
