Today in Language Arts-Reader's Workshop

All students read in their books for 10 minutes.

7th grade
Students read the ending of two different novels and analyzed the aspects they liked and didn't like about the endings. We discussed students' opinions about endings. Then students took the sentence diagramming quiz (again) on simple subjects, simple predicates, and adjectives.

Homework: None

8th grade
Students finished their third novel ending from the reading activity we began yesterday. Students shared the results of their analyses in a class discussion. Then students did a "suitcase packing" activity where they were required to make an article of clothing for our prewriting suitcase and write a sentence about the writing strategy they needed to remember to take with them when we journey to the land of short stories on Monday.

Homework: None
