Students read in their independent books for 10 minutes. I reviewed gerunds with students as the quiz scores from last week were so low. I gave students 3 steps they could take when trying to figure out if the word at hand was a gerund or not. Then students practiced in their groups with a gerund worksheet and we reviewed the answers. Students may use this worksheet as a study tool for next Monday's quiz.
Students spent the rest of the hour reading pages 94-108 in Flowers for Algernon with their groups. They were asked to answer the following three questions about their reading:
1) How has Charlie's increase in intelligence affected his relationships?
2) What's ironic about Frank Reiley's reaction when Charlie confronts him?
3) Do you think that mentally retarded people are treated less than human beings in our society?
Homework: Gather some research about a topic of interest to you that you've been studying in Mr. Fine's class about Native American history.
