We continued reviewing figurative language with alliterations and symbolism. We also did adjective practice in our ISN. Writer’s workshop time was used to brainstorm things about ourselves we could incorporate in an “I Am” poem.

All One-Pagers are due TOMORROW – I will NOT accept these late. Students were given these MONTHS in advance to be prepared for their due date!

In addition, no late work will be accepted past TOMORROW to allow me time to grade before the end of the card marking to make sure grades are as accurate as possible.
