We finished reading "The Necklace". After discussing the story, we did a cause/effect activity and established the rising action, climax and falling action of the plot. Finally, students took a quick quiz for understanding. Students who read aloud will receive their extra credit pts. on the quiz.
I had students fill out a survey to give me an idea where we stand as a class with regard to the writing as a process. This will give me an idea what writing elements students have a firm grasp of and what we will have to hit hard.
Assignment: Come to class on Friday with a topic for a paragraph. We will take the paragraph through the writing process as a tune up for our first essay.

Thanks for the kind words you left on my blog page, Mrs. Kroening. :-) It is great that kids coming in from being absent are already saying things like 'so we did the safety map... when can I get that made up?' instead of 'what'd I miss?' - GLORIOUS!!! I think if I can keep updating it like I am now, it will be a GREAT resource. I know it has kept me on track better already... and then I'll have all my plans for the year recorded to look back on. :-) Borrow anything you'd like.
