English 8

You survived your first week back!

We started off class today with silent reading and worked on some vocabulary from The Giver. We then worked on a conflict craft assignment for the novel. To finish class, I explained the components of literary paragraphs and assigned a paragraph topic. We brainstormed ideas for the paragraph and students started their paragraph plan.

Reminders:
  • Projects for The Giver: due today!
  • Open-Book Grammar Quiz (on punctuation): Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2015
  • The Giver Final Test: Thursday, Jan. 15, 2015
