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.
