Monday 3/12:

  • Students began working with parallel sentence structure by taking notes and then analyzing two examples.  The students then used their analysis of those examples in order to write their own.
  • Here are the notes that students copied into their Sassy Sentences booklets under “Parallel Structure”:
    • Parallel structure is using the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance.
    • It is necessary to follow the pattern throughout the sentence.
  • Today we had another work day with our literature circle books and our role sheets. The next meeting is Tuesday 3/13.

Tuesday 3/13:

  • We continued our work with parallel structure by analyzing and emulating the structures of two more examples.
  • LITERATURE CIRCLE MEETING #3: Students met in their literature circles and discussed the pages they designated. Role sheets and reflections were turned in, and we also went over our lit circle goals as a whole class.  If students were absent, they will not receive credit for participating in the meeting; however, they may turn in their role sheets for partial credit.
  • Our next literature circle meeting is Friday 3/16!
