I had fun teaching today. All of you seemed to really enjoy the Do Now with the iPads. This was a great activity to improve your listening skills, as well as your comprehension of the grammar that we're going over for the rest of the week. I was surprised to see that many of you were able to get most of the answers correct. Perhaps all these grammar weeks are working, yes?
I want to give another round of applause to our super star students for annotating up on the board today. I can see that a lot of you ARE finally being able to annotate on your own, without mine or Mr. Hannah's guidance. This is the end goal! Let's keep working at it. Mr. Hannah and I are coming up with a rubric for all of you so that you can better see what we're looking for and expecting.
In TKAM Chapter 15. the word is MOB. There is a mob after Tom Robinson and Atticus has to stop it. How will he do it? Will he risk everything? Will he lose? We'll keep reading tomorrow to find out.
As for the paragraphs, again, I must restate that I'm SHOCKED that all of you knew how to write a great paragraph, and yet, many of you failed to do so in your final exams. DON'T BE LAZY. You know how to do these things, so DO IT!
We're going to practice this skill until it becomes second-nature.
DEETS:
In-class:
--Grammar Do Now
--Chapter 15 Read and Annoate until pg.5
--Write a paragraph. "What is a mob?"
HW:
--Answer Reading Questions 1-3
--Write 6 sentences for each word--your/you're/where/were/we're/wear. You will need these sentences for your Do Now tomorrow!
Work hard!
