7th grade-Today in Language Arts-Writer's Workshop

All students read for 10 minutes.

We discussed the definition of subplot and students identified the subplots in the short story "First Love" that we read last week. Students worked on listing possible subplots that they could weave into the main plot of their short stories. Then we practiced the sharing component of Writer's Workshop in a group and students shared the beginnings of their favorite movies/books.

Homework: If you didn't finish in class, please finish writing your subplots for your short story.
