Today’s Agenda

Bellwork: Interjection Practice Page

Reading: We are learning about figurative language this week. We reviewed previous learning and did practice with song lyrics. We then took notes on hyperbole, onomatopoeia, and alliteration and watched a video to provide examples.

Writing: We continued our “Overcoming Obstacles” rough draft today. This is not homework and we will be given time in class tomorrow to finish this.

One-Pagers are due not later than TOMORROW. I WILL NOT accept these late because you have 2 1/2 months to work on them! These are worth 20 summative points EACH!

All late work and missing assignments are due no later than TOMORROW as well. Many students are missing MobyMax and their Newsela articles (self-driving cars and college athletes articles). You had two full days in class and Winter Break to turn in missing assignments. If these are not done by Friday they will remain a zero.

Homework

• Read Theory (5 passed every week) – 55 total passed from November 2nd-January 17th to get full points
• Read your “good fit” book for 20 minutes (you need to do this for your One-Pagers!)
• One-Pager #3 and #4 due TOMORROW– I DO NOT accept these late
• Missing assignments due no later than TOMORROW. You had all Winter Break and 2 days in class leading up to Winter Break to work on these assignments. If they aren’t done by Friday they will remain a zero.
