7th and 8th grade
All students submitted their Reading Folders.
We reviewed the reading strategy "questioning" with students and reviewed with them how to annotate a text. Ms. Black made all of the students bookmarks which review the active reading strategies on one side and also give students pointers for things to do before, during and after reading on the other side. The bookmarks also have a key for annotating text that we will use throughout the term.
We finished the short story we started on Tuesday entitled "The Lottery." Students annotated the text as Ms. Black and I read to them and they shared the questions they generated as we proceeded through the story. Once we finished the story, the students participated in a 15 minute class discussion where we analyzed the author's purpose in writing this story. 8th graders also analyzed and evaluated the author's writing techniques and talked about the connections between this story and Lord of the Flies.
Homework: None
