All students submitted their Reading Folders.
7th grade
Due to more than 50% failure on the sentence diagramming quiz that was given last week, students will be retested next week. I spent the majority of class reteaching the concepts of diagramming simple subjects, simple predicates and adjectives. I went over the answers to the quiz students took last week and modeled for them the thinking process they should conduct when diagramming sentences. I also demonstrated for students the questions they should ask themselves as they are diagramming a sentence to ensure its accuracy.
Students then set up their Reader's Notebooks for a setting activity we will do next week. I will be reviewing plot structure with students tomorrow.
Homework: What is your favorite movie or book? How does it begin? Write two sentences about beginning of your favorite movie or book, describing how it begins.
8th grade
I reviewed the answers to last week's sentence diagramming quiz. Next week we will begin diagramming prepositional phrases. Students then read an except from Tangerine and, in their Reader's Notebooks, took specific quotes related to the setting and described what they visualized when they read for each quote. Students shared the quotes they chose and discusses their different visualizations. Tomorrow we will begin "Engaging Beginnings."
Homework: Write a very detailed and descriptive paragraph about the opening scene from your favorite book or movie.
