8th grade: Today in Language Arts-Reader's Workshop

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.
