It seems as though eLearning went fairly smoothly for our snow day Friday. For LA, your responses have to be printed out and handed in, so please do that if you have your answers on googledocs. Remember that responses should be in complete sentences. Yes, this is a graded assignment! Day 1 eLearning is due this Friday, Jan. 16.
We began with a brain warm -up practice with semicolons and colons. I know NoRedInk can sometimes be confusing, so the students worked on something more straight-forward.
Today we continued with our novel study focus being how character moves plot. Remember, theses are the important plot points that would be included on a story arc or plot line. If you took this event out, the story would change.
we also are starting to incorporate novel companion nonfiction articles to blend fiction and nonfiction with common topics and themes. Students will be analyzing how the two different genres have common themes, and they will write evident to support the theme.
