Writing:  We continued learning about Greek and Latin Roots with the root “geo”. This will be our Mon., Wed., Fri. bellwork for the next few weeks.   We then participated in an essay organization sorting activity where students were asked to work with a partner to sort an essay into its correct sequential order (introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion) AND figure out which part of the essay was missing. Each pair had the introduction missing and we reviewed what we learned about effective introductions and wrote the introduction using what we could from the rest of the essay.
