All students read in their books for 10 minutes. Today we began our expository writing unit. Students took notes on expository writing. I then gave students several examples of how expository writing is used in everyday life. We had a brief review of our reflection entry yesterday on Charlie's Key to Happiness and I explained to students how advertisers continuously try to create "needs" within us to buy their products. We discussed how people consistently look for their own personal key to happiness outside of themselves, never realizing the futility in this search. We then did an expository exercise with magazine advertisements. Students worked in pairs, writing down the descriptions of the advertisements. We will do more with this activity on Thursday.
I gave students the definitions for the eight vocabulary words. Students then had a pop-quiz on the reading assigned to them yesterday.
Homework: Finish your vocabulary study tool (due Thursday before we take the quiz).
