Monday, August 23

We traveled to the LMC today to select a fiction novel of approx. 200+ pages. We will be reading daily the first 15 min. or so of class. In addition, students will be keeping a double entry journal about this book and use it to help write a Critical Analysis at the end of the term.

Required Academic Vocabulary: RAV will be introduced weekly. Students are to record the term, the definition and draw a non-linguistic representation (picture) of the word. This vocabulary will be checked on Wednesdays. Week 1: anecdote, coherence, plot, and conflict.

Finally, students completed two activities covering the vocabulary of our first short story, "The Necklace".
