Today in Language Arts-Writer's Workshop

All students submitted their Reading Folders.

7th grade
We reviewed plot structure. In groups, students created a story plot line from a picture that was given to them. Students worked in groups to first generate a draft of their story. After meeting with a group, if their plot structure was formulated correctly, students were then given chart paper on which to compose their plot diagrams. We ended the hour reviewing sentence diagramming in preparation for tomorrow's quiz.


Homework: Review your notes for sentence diagramming. Quiz tomorrow!

8th grade
I reviewed examples of main plot lines and subplots with students. Then students spent most of the hour developing their plots and subplots for their short stories. We ended the hour reviewing sentence diagramming in preparation for tomorrow's quiz.
