Today we were introduced to the American author Mark Twain and discussed interesting facts we learned from our Newsela article. We also were introduced to “The Prince and the Pauper” drama we will begin acting out tomorrow. At the end of class we learned the Greek/Latin roots “Geo” and “Graph” and wrote our notes in our notebook.

Students were given over 30 minutes to type up their final copies for their Compare and Contrast essays. They will get some time tomorrow but not as much as today. Please make sure you finish this at home and print it out in time for class Friday!
