All students read for 15 minutes in the media center.
In groups, students discussed and recorded in their Reader's Notebooks the elements of "good" and "bad" conclusions. We then had a class discussion on what made an ending to a story good and what endings disappointed us and why. This was all in preparation for the last strategy we will cover this week-Effective Closure for Short Stories.
Students spent the last 15 minutes of class completing their Spelling/Vocabulary Quiz for Unit 2.
Homework: Complete one weekly reading question. Reading Folders are due tomorrow.
