8th grade: Today in Language Arts-Reader's Workshop

Students read in their books for 15 minutes. We did a collaborative class today with social studies. All eighth graders went to the media center to watch The Three Little Pigs. We talked about the way this story was told from the vantage point of the three little pigs. Then students read the book The Real Story of the Three Little Pigs (told from the perspective of the wolf). We then had a brief discussion about the differences in both stories and talked a little bit about how history is often only told from one perspective. Mr. Fine and I passed out the new unit collaborative plan on expository writing and researching Native American culture. We discussed expectations and assignments for this unit and answered students' questions.

Homework: Keep writing down your dreams in your dream journal! Study for the gerund quiz tomorrow!
