What did we DO today?

In class today we reviewed:
  • You have only ONE WEEK to finish your book! (OH my!)
  • You must do all of the writing assignments. The state core is comprised of 4 components:
    • reading (your chosen book)
    • writing (your book writes)
    • speaking (your book report)
    • listening (what happens in class)
    • If you HAVEN'T done your book writes, you have until OCTOBER 19th to do so. 

NO LATE WORK AFTER FALL BREAK!!!


  • We will be in the writing lab on October 11th-14th to work on your presentations. You may use Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Presentations, or Prezi.com to work in. Please be aware that I am running MS PowerPoint 2007. Convert accordingly. Your presentation NEEDS TO PLAY on the book report day. I am taking you into the lab, giving you 2 lab dates, and I expect you to be ready to present.
  • Then we had a Calvin and Hobbes prediction activity where you learned a prediction reading strategy.
