Tuesday Feb. 24- Wednesday Feb. 25, 2015
Over the past few day, students continued with silent reading and completed two worksheets for identifying Parts of Speech.
Yesterday, we read the story "The Street That Got Mislaid" and completed a character sketch for the story. We also finished our notes on irony.
Today, we went over different types of point of view by looking at various excerpts from stories and novels. Additionally, we read the story "The Hockey Sweater", completed corresponding questions, and watched the N.F.B. video version of the story.
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 for this assignment.
We finished off the day reading "The Monkey's Paw". Thank you to the students who read aloud!
