Students read in their independent books for 10 minutes. Then I gave students the vocabulary list 2 for The Giver and we went through the definitions for each word and its respective part of speech. I then shared with students my first draft of my five paragraph essay. Students read my first draft and my final draft and we discussed the differences between the two. I explained the problem with "formulaic" writing that usually happens when students write a five paragraph essay but then showed students the kind of writing I expect from them now that they are in the seventh grade. Students spent the remainder of class working on their essay.
Homework: Complete your five paragraph essay by tomorrow.
