English 8

You survived your first double block of English!

Today, you completed a worksheet practicing the use of verbs. Then, we finished reading "The Veldt", worked on corresponding questions and watched the short film based on the story. Students also completed notes on the parts of plot.

During the second half of class, we read an article from the perspective of a teenager in prison.  We discussed stereotypes and motivations of young criminals. We proceeded to read the story "Thank You Ma'am" and work on corresponding questions. We finished off the class with a couple rounds of "Mad Libs".

Reminders:
  • Finish questions for "The Veldt" and "Thank You Ma'am" for next class
