We started off the day with a lesson on adverbs. Students then completed questions for the story "Thank You Ma'am" and started to write a 'Thank you' letter based on the events of the story. We will work more on this next class. We also went to the library to pick our novels for the 'Independent Novel Study' projects.
After the break, students did a bit of silent reading. After that, we watched 4 Pixar short films; students then had to get together in groups and write down the setting, theme and types of conflict for each film. We finished off class with some notes on characters and a round of Mad Libs.
Reminders:
- 'Thank You Ma'am' questions: due Friday, Sept. 18, 2015
