All students spent 10 minutes independently reading.
7th and 8th grade (same workshop activities today for both grade levels)
We had a brief class discussion about the definition of setting and why it is essential to establish a good setting when writing a short story. Then students moved to different stations around the room, picked their favorite settings from a group of pictures and then, in a paragraph, described one chosen setting from 5 different stations.
Ms. Black went over this week's vocabulary and gave kid-friendly definitions for each word and also gave students examples. This quiz will be next Wednesday. (List of Vocab 2 words and their definitions were posted on a previous blog).
Homework (both 7th and 8th grade): One weekly reading question. Reading Folders due tomorrow.
