We started off the day with silent reading. After that, we looked at the structure of paragraphs and students were assigned a Descriptive Character Paragraph. We looked at a variety of character traits and examples to complete the paragraph. Students were given time to complete the Paragraph Planner and a rough copy for this assignment. You guys worked so well on this!
We then watched the Simpsons version of "The Monkey's Paw", and finished off class with a Jeopardy game on Parts of Speech.
Reminders:
- Parts of Speech Quiz (open-book): Monday, Mar. 2, 2015
