We started off class today with silent reading and some notes on conjunctions. The quiz on 'Parts of Speech' was handed back to the students and we went over it together. We also started working on descriptive character paragraphs. Students were given a list of characters studied in our short story unit; they must complete a paragraph describing him/her. Most students finished the 'Paragraph Planner' today.
During the second period, a presenter came to the class to discuss tobacco use. We also started watching the movie "Fantastic Mr. Fox"; we will be doing a complete plot analysis on this movie as a conclusion to our short story unit.
Reminders:
- 'Paragraph Planner' worksheet: due Friday, Oct. 17, 2014
