All students read in their books for 10 minutes. Today begins Week 8 in our Reading Folders.
All first drafts of short stories were collected today. They will ONLY be graded for completion, not on content (since this is the first draft).
Students took notes on the definition and examples of prepositions. Then we discussed how prepositions can be remembered as the spatial relationship between a rabbit and a hill. (For example, a rabbit can be ON a hill, can go AROUND a hill, can burrow BENEATH a hill, etc). Students generated even more prepositions that were not on our original list after the rabbit and hill exercise. Students then worked with their groups to see if they could take their knowledge of prepositions to identify prepositional phrases with their groups. We reconvened and as a class and I went over the answers to the prepositional phrase exercise with students to make sure their answers were correct.
Homework: Read in your independent book to meet your 100 page a week requirement.
