7th and 8th grade:
Students read for 10 minutes and submitted the first draft of their personal essays. I briefly discussed the history of the English language and showed students how English has evolved from several places. I explained to students that by learning root words from Latin, Greek and Germanic roots, they can more easily master new vocabulary words. The root for this week is "inter." There are 8 vocabulary words and 2 bonus words for this week using this particular root. The vocabulary quiz will be next Thursday.
Students begin the first part of a character building activity in preparation for the short story unit. We will continue this activity next week.
Homework: Enjoy your weekend!
