Bellwork: Today we took our last notes on Verb Tenses and were given practice pages for the verb types and tenses learned. These are due Monday but they were given time in class to begin and will have time tomorrow in class as well.
Reading: We presented our Rainbow Writes to the class. Students were asked to listen to the presentations so they have an idea on what to write about during Writing time.
Writing: Students were asked to choose a 2nd CER option (genre, conflict, mood/tone, or story device; support with 2 pieces of textual evidence) to write independently in their Writing ISNs. They aren’t allowed to choose the option their group wrote for the Rainbow Write. You can find the story here if you didn’t finish in class: http://www.newbremenschools.org/Downloads/All%20Summer%20in%20a%20Day.pdf
